REDUCTION SURGERIES

• Vinnie and Gina both recently had ‘elective’ surgeries.
• Gina had a reduction surgery up top — she’s sick of being  top-heavy.
  • This wasn’t just cosmetic, though. It’s for her health and her bones and such.
• For Vinnie, he had Guam removed — a growth down below.
• Both are recovering now.

THE HARMS OF BULLYING

• Vinnie was bullied as a child.
• His mom held him back because she thought he needed it.
• It made things worse.
• The other children, AND the nuns, bullied Vinnie.
  • They called him “Vinna” because his deafness and speech impediment prevented him from saying his name correctly.
  • They’d make fun of him in other ways too.
• This is why Vinnie does not like nuns — they were supposed to protect him, and they hurt him.
  • Then, the other kids thought they could do it too.
• This bullying left a mark on Vinnie.
• He can’t imagine how much worse it is now with the internet.
  • He understands why kids self-harm, especially when they don’t have support at home.
• Be kind to people, whether in person or behind a keyboard.
• Good teachers can counteract this.
  • Some teachers ask for ‘citizens of the week,’ or ask students who they’d like to sit to.
    • This lets them see who is being ostracized or bullied, and then teachers can give those students extra attention.
      • Shutout to the teacher that posted about this and brought it to Gina’s attention!
