When You See Her – Show Some Love
This February we launched the Show Some Love Project, to encourage you to reach out to those around you who may be hurting – your care and love and heal a heart and save a life…
You see her in the corner sitting quietly in the back of the classroom as everyone chatters away, she’s staring down at her books to pretend she’s occupied when really she just wants it to swallow her up; she just wants to disappear. Some might take her expressionless, tense face as a little snooty a little off-putting, but really she is scared. She tries not to draw attention but even when silent somehow she draws in mean girls like flies.
At lunch time she doesn’t want to face them, and their jeering so she heads to the empty stairwell to eat her sandwich, alone.
Sometimes she locks herself in a bathroom stall, her forehead against the cold wall, tears streaming down her face. She doesn’t dare look up at the scribbling on the painted brick for fear that her name could be scrawled there.
She might be shy, might be new, a little lost and awkward maybe but she definitely needs a friend. She might be at your school, in your class, on your bus ride home.
If you got to know her you’d find that she likes to laugh, loves that show you watch, you’d see there’s more to her then meets the eye. If you would only meet her eyes, smile and introduce yourself you might be surprised. If only…
But for now she sits alone. Her face may not say it but inside she’s longing for someone, someone to notice, wishing someone would take the time to see her, to really see her, say hi and show her some love.
How do I know? Because she was once me.
Show some love today – you never know what effect your words and kindness can have on someone who is hurting.
– Julene, Editor of Dreamer ENT.com

Inspiring ENT Music Pick: “Speak With Love” by Savannah Outen (An Original Song to Prevent Bullying)
Click here to check out more posts in the Dreamer ENT “Show Some Love Project” Series…
Savannah Outen wrote this inspiring song ‘Speak With Love’ last October for National Bullying Prevention Awareness month, to spread the message of love and ending bullying. I love how the lyrics tell a story that I’m sure so many can relate to:
“Speak With Love” Lyrics
Verse 1
He was such a nice boy
Always kept to himself
Never really had a choice
Felt like he lived on a shelf
The more that they picked on him
The more he knew it wasn’t a joke
Chorus:
I
Don’t know why
People treat others so, so cruel
I
Don’t know why
Anyone would want to live a fool…ish life
Verse 2:
She was such a sweet little girl
Always got made fun of
Never thought she had a place in this world
You see, everyone needs to realize that we’re all beautiful no matter what
Chorus:
And I
Don’t know why
Anyone could say something so cruel
Be a hero starting today
The world could be such a happier place
Promise that you’ll always speak with love
