"Raquellllllllll wake up!I haven't been able to sleep because of this idea!" My mother announces this morning. I rolled over,My Chemical Romance blasting in one of my ear from my ear bud. I sat up slowly,wiping the sleep from my eyes. She then tells me about wanting to start this blog. Not wanting to rain on my mom's parade, I agreed.
So this is my blog. Hey! Nice to meet you! We will be writing a book based on my experiences and stuff. On my part of the blog you will probably hear lots of references to music. My life through music! Okay......I'm done writing :o)
still tired,
Raquel

Exciting News
Hello! and thanks for coming to visit our blog. This blog is being created so you can follow our journey... Journey to where you ask? Well, let me give you some back story...
2010 my daughter (Raquel, co owner of this blog) started in 7th grade in a new school system. She was severely bullied to the point where her life was threatened. I complained to the school, and nothing was ever done. After my third complaint I pulled Raquel out and homeschooled her. We have found out that there are long term effects to being bullied. Because of these effects, we (well, my idea mostly) decided to write a book on our experience. We are just getting started, but we created this blog so you can follow us on our journey. Please share this page with your friends, and encourage them to share also! We want to hear from you also! Our email address is: connieandraquel@gmail.com please feel free to email us any questions and stories.
Our story is going to be written from both of our sides. We will alternate chapters I am going to start. We will try and post bits and pieces (teasers, you can say) of the book so you can preview it. Please feel free to share this page again, and again.
Follow us on this exciting journey. We know that there will be ups and downs, there is a good chance that it wont even be published. I am confident that at least our story can get out there. If we can reach ONE person to stop bullying it is all worth it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please check back for future updates.
