If You Did Not Bully Anyone Was It Because You Were Too Much Of A Wimp Yourself? *** The most popular girls in the school bullied me. I was an easy target and they were not that intelligent. I was not a wimp. I believe that my moral standards then as now are important and do not lose my cool easily. I never bullied a soul because I am made of better stuff and like helping the sufferer and understanding their suffering rather than adding to it. ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ *** What Is Your Most Disgusting Bodily Feature?

Review of All About Me

Lascivious Bodies - Julie Peakman

Advantages: Well-researched, well-written
Disadvantages: None

For those of us whose ideas and views of how people in the past viewed sexual matters, the book comes as a surprise. However, it must be remembered that this view is usually based upon the far more prudish and restricted Victorian era.
