A different version of stoning....

Okay so I find myself completely raw and thankful that I have found my voice against abuse.  I know it has not been an easy road for me so I can only imagine what it has been for others.  As I have been dealing with school and life in its own... I am thankful to be living in this country at this time.  I think of others that have been raped or molested and how they are blamed and accused in a more public manner in other countries.  Here in the USA we still deal with a persecution and a stoning of the emotions.  We deal with generations that just think a different manner than what we as the future of this country have.  Be it someone that says something cruel and disrespectful.  A person that might look at you in a disrespectful manner.  Someone that could be hurting you when they themselves think that they are helping you.  Only you can dictate what is okay for you and how you are to be treated.  It is okay for you to say NO, and it is also okay for you to be sensitive and not mocked for being so!
