Yeh Lindsey I agree.
It not the only experience I went through.
My other experience is what many others have been through, but because of what I was interested in doing with my life always made me more happy again.
I was bullied for 5 years at my last school and some of it really made me feel bad and dropped my confidence in going outside on my own at first incase they were out.
Those boys who bullied me for the first year at my last school only did it for a year. So I started to get the confidence again to go outside on my own again.
Then it was boys in my class that started next and they made me feel even worse as I had to spend all day in class with them. They started on my friends in there too.
By the 3rd year of me being bullied I sort of stopped it nearly by letting my uncle pick me up from school in his brand new convertable which the boys out my class couldn't belive I was getting in one. Then they started asking me questions in class the next day who's convertable it was I was getting in and they couldn't belive it was one of my relatives.
Then because I was sick of it by the 5th year and going up to college I thought enough was enough and stood up for my self and answered them back.
All it took was a few simple words and they never said anything again when they found out I could stand up for myself. I stood up for me and one of my friends at the time and she couldn't belive it eirther. She never seen me do it before.
Anyway through those bad times I was having I knew I could come home and watch what made me happy like Charmed and when I found other things Shannen was in at time made me more happy.
So that's probably why Shannen insprired me more to go into acting and try it out in college and also trying film and television there too.
Sorry if that's a lot to read again, but I thought I might share that story too.
