They pretend to uphold shared values, but seem mostly to be afraid that someone will notice that THEY are different, that THEY don't measure up in some way.<br /><br />And why do women hold women back so hard? Seems like men and society in general would be enough of an impediment to female achievement, but whenever a woman seems to be achieving there seem to be a million other women with their claws out!Charles Elliott/Beautyseerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05779529545987700565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907193349185074114.post-28332430014119319092011-10-06T10:24:59.329-04:002011-10-06T10:24:59.329-04:00neat.neat.Maxwell Mead Williams Robinson Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532576755186051550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907193349185074114.post-59592842297954864922011-10-05T23:04:58.862-04:002011-10-05T23:04:58.862-04:00sounds like my high school years, couldn't eve...sounds like my high school years, couldn't even attend my grad party, didn't feel like being surrounded by all those catsChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10433262472050607402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907193349185074114.post-11082114855049900062011-10-05T21:13:11.768-04:002011-10-05T21:13:11.768-04:00Some times they are so cruel and yes you are right...Some times they are so cruel and yes you are right they will never stop.

Bully or Bullier - neither is ever released. At some point we all need "awareness" and to realize unless we support other women, none of us will reach our potential.Beachannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638256396472533685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907193349185074114.post-89378018166426886312011-10-05T09:15:20.508-04:002011-10-05T09:15:20.508-04:00Too true.

Good for you. I had the nerve to have a funny name in school and got to hear it chanted in derision for my entire jr high career, so you're completely right, no exemption for any gender for the slightest bit of difference. I wish I could say this changes with adulthood, but sadly,often it doesn't.
