Hello there! Thanks a lot for dropping this article. I find this quote highly helpful and very informative. I’m a single mother with a 6 years old daughter. My baby is always bullied in school and at such a young age I’m scared she might fall into depression soon. I’ve been trying to make her feel better about herself but nothing is working. I’ll definitely show her these kind words you dropped in the quotes in this article. I’m very sure this would make her feel better about herself and make me feel great too, thank you.
