Bullying Story

“When I was in 7th grade, it was right as I was going into puberty. Parts of my body are starting to shift and grow specifically my nose.”
“The class bully made the comment like: look at this guy, he looks like big bird. I was embarrassed to talk about it.”
“Mindfulness practice helps me shift that relationship to that part of my body and release some of the microtraumas.”
