This bullying thing has changed me and this time it is for the better. I have learned that there is a fine line between being nice and being a pushover. Before, I wasn't saying what I felt and as a result I felt simple, powerless, and square. I let people wipe thier feet on me and tell me that I was "too nice to say something to the person who was messing with me". There will be no more of that. It is time for me to say what I feel and stand up for what I believe in. The old powerless me is gone and the new Gabrielle is in. Yes, I will still be nice but I will be better. And for once in a long time I will be the real me.
