Never be bullied into silence.
Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one's definition of your life.
Define yourself! Robert Frost
Life is a fight, not everyone’s a fighter. Otherwise, bullies would be an endangered species. Andrew Vachss
The common mistake that bullies make, is assuming that because someone is nice that he or she is weak. Those traits have nothing to do with each other. In fact, it takes considerable strength and character to be a good person. Mary Elizabeth Williams

Be Good. - What They Always Tell Me.
Although, Sometimes, I Don't.
President Trump, You Still, Need To Help California. And All US States Regarding, Climate Disasters.
I’ve lost count of all the States that need help rebuilding;(fires, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods,etc).
Helping US states is one of the important things you should be concentrating on fixing.
Not wasting time and millions of dollars on, chasing immigrants!
And you should not, be cutting gov’t services and programs, taking resources and food, from hungry families and the elderly, who rely on government help. ie How can people go to work if you cut programs like “Head Start?”
