nympha687 @nympha687 (940) • United States 27 Apr 09

basicblack001 I believe whatever it is we experienced in our childhood made us who we are today. It just depends on how we handle those experiences. Being bullied at school may make us bullies ourselves or may make us strong both inside and outside. Going to school hungry...
