Praying for bullies

We all remember those days in school that we would not go back to no matter what the price. We all had to contend with bullies. Most of us think of the kid in "A Christmas Story". In my experience teen girls are the worst bullies on the face of the earth. They like to pretend to be your friend. They say horrible things about you or your family (which I would like to point out you have no control over). And then say "Oh, I was just kidding", or something to that effect. You know the ones I mean. The ones that you would love to just drop kick somewhere. The ones you can spot a mile off. The ones that have been around for years and you never liked them, you could always tell how they really are. But your loved little family members could not be told, they had to find out on their own, that these people are NOT your friends. They are just jealous haters, and sometimes they never grow up, no matter how old they are, or what profession they work in (you would think teachers would know better). Sometimes you get hormonal and want to right the wrongs in the world. And even though you would like to commit bodily harm, you take the high road. And pray for ----- and her ----. Pray for me to keep praying for them.
