Bullied Children

I’m going to side step here for just a little while
to talk about “Bullied Children”. I know what bullied
children go through, I was one. Bullying can leave a
mark on you that will last a life time. It has on me.

A bullied child will never forget the names of those
who bullied them. Many can’t or wont let go of those
painful events that stole their precious childhood. If
the bullies came out and openly asked forgiveness, that
would help. But, the wounds they left in the child they
bullied will never be completely healed. They will
always be there.

Over the past months, I have been working on a book about
my childhood, telling my story as detailed as possible.
It is not a pretty story, but sometimes I find it helps.
Its away I have of fighting those painful memories. The
story tells the first painful event that I remember, and
continues on up into my teenage years. It tells of the
tears, the beatings, the faults accusations and much, much
more. The places are real, the people are real, and the
teachers that pay attention to what was going on are real
as well.

As my writing the story helps me, I suggest anyone, any
child who has been or who is currently being bullied to sit
down and write out their story. Put their story in print,
maybe let others know what you go through. It could save
another defenseless the pain and agony of what you have to
deal with. I plan to write more on this in the coming days,
weeks, maybe months. I truly hope the name of the reader
doesn’t appear here.

If I publish my book, if I sell my book …. Then you’ll know
where and how the name Castaway Lee originated. I was a cast-
away, I became a loner, and to a very large extent, I still
am.
