"understand):
I started out a happy kid, and a natural entertainer who loved the spotlight.
But over the summer before sixth grade, I gained 15 pounds — fallout from a season at sleep-away camp, where I spent nights devouring parent care packages and s’mores to eat away the pain of homesickness.
I remember walking into school that first day back and seeing the horrified reactions on the faces of kids who had known me since kindergarten.
They gawked at me as if I hadn’t been the same kid whose birthday party they had attended every year, and the girl they roller-skated with every Friday night.
Just like that, I became the last kid chosen in gym, and saw my social invitations slow to a trickle. The light that had shined so organically from within me had begun to get snuffed out."

this may not save kid, had had serious head injuries when i was kidnapped in ny and again in nj. amazing to finally remember details of this crap and how its enabled by people around you. my advice there, don\'t give advice if you don\'t really know the situation. people at large enable kidnappers, as amazing as that is and kidnappers hire other children to kidnap. what is triggering this as well, is that they continue to show up so many years later as \"relatives\" of sorts when of course they are not.
the lawyer for defense in the jesse dugard case requested she visit her kidnapper captor because it\'d be \"good for him\" i wrote that the lawyer requesting this should be executed just for making the request. the judicial system in usa, is so shit, that everything is on the side of the criminal and nothing on the side of the victim.
the guy that used his mother as an excuse for abducting children, he and his brother, was still doing this as late as 1984 and 1985...more attempts in 1990 and according to friends in 1992, 1993 and 1994. his defense then was he got the address from his cousin and it was his cousin\'s idea. hmmm. even if this is true, this man would have been 44 years old by then and the \"cousin\" around 26. i\'d say that is a career criminal. his latest was from 2010 - 2012, he showed up again. at that point, also harrassing the same cousin who had him harrass me. he would be 60 by then. and still blaming others for his actions. then he tells on his cousin saying his cousin was the one who harrassed me in sixthgrade and hired people or let people in to harrass me when i was captain of the cheerleading squad. one of the girls that didn\'t make the squad went after me through some older guy she knew from special ed school, this is back when people like that were merged in with regular people (this doesn\'t work for them nor anyone else, it makes the special ed kids evil, they attack the smart kids and claim teachers at special ed told them to, the best defense is a good offense. there are reasons public schools are a disaster. like a circus.
this girl claims she sent this older guy and two older girls who were in our grade to my house for that one day, as the older girls didn\'t make the squad either. she didn\'t know they would stalk and break in for the next thirty-five years. omg! as far as the older guy, he stalked for about 15 years, then a break and then it would start again. his claim was the cousin would call him and have him do that. really? how old are you? are you over 18, then you are responsible for everything you do. who the hell stalks a person for that many years, for something that dumb. there are other judges besides the captain, a board of ten of us. also, they claim interiorly the cousin and his sister were doing everything they could to make it worse. the boy is gay and has a crush on the older boy. the girl is jealous. the parents are basically jealous as well. amazing an adult being jealous of children. even more amazing that it goes on for so long. 2010 is now. i said to his sister. he is sixty years old and still turning up. if on tv, its worse, except that is to be expected. from adults way too old for the role, i don\'t get why they would turn up. then there are adults who decide they can be a manager and worm in somehow. hmmm. and what management company are you with? and why in the world would an asshole like this think anyone would hire someone who stalks them or makes trouble for them in anyway. i guarantee in court, they will use a mental problem as their defense but its still sick. this is why people join protection organizations.
after sixth grade, their next set of attacks were yearly and it gets too sordid to write on here. i got two open calls for two soap operas in eighth grade and it was their parents who went after that. physically dangerous people and then of course the group of cousins. predators hunt in packs, not alone. when they recruit people in the legal system who are corrupt, even worse. they owe money to this day, all of them do. and then they fight with each other over whatever they managed to steal, wanting a piece of each others stolen monies. he shows up in 2010 as though anyone would know him or want to see him. his cousin has shown up YEARLY since then. they don\'t go away. so the fact is, if people like that are not executed they stalk permanently. i have never understood what they think they are gaining by doing any of this. what truly amazes me is when a new asshole shows up to stalk with no apparent trigger. i think people like that are BORN that way, i don\'t think its learned at all.
an open call, is open to the public. generally hundreds of people trying out for the same role and then its narrowed down. this is significant because stalkers complain that others get roles by who they know. not true at all on an open call. and you don\'t get a role, you try out for a role. stalkers will go after every role you get, and try to make trouble with it. this is also bullying. and of course jealousy. what amazes me is it goes on in all sorts of jobs, even support staff jobs. its not even big money when its that, just bigger than what the stalker is making. amazes me though. the truly insane will attempt to steal or will steal your paperwork, as in your contract and try to pass themselves off as you. one loser was stealing my contracts and just holding them, along with stealing other mail and getting into my phone line. another asshole was breaking into my condo and hiring people to break in. what amazed me later is the cousins of the original kidnapper was giving out my addresses to hoodlums everywhere i lived from 1980 through to now i guess. don\'t even know how they got it. and one of the jerks even showed up when i was living in spain. she was a weirdo hired by one of the lawyers who would try to get me to hire him and i always refused. she would try to say she was me, and in spain she was arrested. at least they protect people. i\'d love to know why she is still walking around though. when i was back in usa. she showed up in nyc and its suburbs. my boss says to me, do you know her and i\'m like, no. my ex-boyfriend caught her breaking into our condo years ago and she hasn\'t gone away since. she lives in aventura now. just goes on and on. she writes that she is a homebody. hmmm. how about you are a professional thief and a stalker and you can\'t go out much because if you do go out you start stealing? just a guess. she told a judge, the lawyer that represented her encouraged her to harrass me and told her she would get movie roles if she did this. never happened of course. if anything she got herself blacklisted from it. and if so shy and a homebody, why is she trying for any kind of movie role. then he calls and he says, well, how about she takes your rejects, the things that don\'t interest you. hmmmm. how about she get herself a real agent and she can go on tryouts on her own and stop stealing, breaking in, forging, and being a parasite. hmmmm. so if i go back to using ds for what i was here for originally. support groups. i guess it will be back to dealing with this asshole, his cousin claims he is here from maryland. hmmm. why here? that cousin is in jacksonville, go there and i think he has family in delray, try that. but why here? weirdo. amazes me that he and his brother or any of them are alive. we were told in the 90\'s that all of these people were dead. would be nice if they told the truth. but i was talking to an asa today, and she was telling me the latest criminal was not in jail. i had to TELL HER hey look at your computer again. why give out false information? then they get nervous. or if you don\'t know SAY you don\'t know. don\'t be an official person from a court system and lying to the public. happens all the time though. the right hand doesn\'t know what the left hand is doing. that is why you have more criminals than normal people in this country, and more people in prison than any other civilized country. something is seriously wrong with your whole system, don\'t you think?
American Girl books just put out a series on BULLYING. the character\'s name/book name is Chrissie.
