MDJunction to me

suebaby41"I was recently diagnosed with Recurrent Breast Cancer In The Chest
Wall. I would not be able to handle it as well as I am without the
help of my MDJunction friends. It just proves to me that there are
lots of good people in this world and I am happy to be involved with
MDJunction who seems to have most of them.

Hi my name is Lisaellen I'm a member in the Bi polars support forum and just would like to say hats off to you for being a great Uncle. I once heard that prejudice is taught whether its environmental, social or relational a young baby does not understand these differences until bias is taught. Everyone has some sort of bias within them and its up to us as individuals to challenge these bias within us, to check ourselves so to speak. To truly love and accept someone we have to remove ourselves from only looking at the outside in and we need to learn to look at the inside out. Its okay not to understand certain choices but its not okay to become bias towards another choice. Keep doing what you are doing; trying to understand, love and support your niece. Well done...
