I want to take a moment to express my unwavering support and admiration for each and every one of you. I believe in the importance of standing alongside you in the fight for equality, acceptance, and love. Bullying, in any form, is a reflection of the bully's own issues, not yours. It's often a reaction to the power they sense in you—power that they wish they had or that challenges their sense of control. They might use words or actions to try to tear you down, to make you doubt yourself, or to push you back into a box they find less threatening. Each time you stand firm, you send a message that you won't be easily broken. Your strength is not only a source of power for you but also an inspiration for others who face similar challenges. Like me, who is often misjudged. I apologize to all whom I have offended in the past; I became so ugly because of all the bullying I have endured over the years; it changed me. Please never allow that to happen to you, and thank you for being "here". I will always support you.

Heads up people. There are faggots here on OWS. And according to the all-round bully who used that word in the box, fags just need to "toughen up" and not let words bother them.

Among other kinds of hurtful behavior, bullies do like to name-call and make fun of others. Name-calling is more than disrespectful. It’s verbal and emotional abuse that can be hurtful and harmful. Typically bullies will deny the harm caused, and even just not care.

Studies have found bullying peaks around ages 11 to 13 and decreases as children grow older. When adult bullies excuse their abuse by saying “toughen up,” it’s tempting to say “grow up.” But some kids never grow up. Many who were bullies as children turn into antisocial adults. They are far more likely than non-aggressive kids to commit crimes, batter their wives, abuse their children—and produce another generation of bullies.

As wounding as a bully’s own childhood may have been, its important to distinguish between people who have problems and people who are problems. Bullies are problems. We don’t need to “toughen up”. Rather, we need to get tough on them to end their abusive behavior. How that plays out in OS would seem to be a work in progress. But calling abusive behavior what it is is a start. The Love Is Love Alliance can be helpful by identifying places in OS that are not only free of homophobic bullies, but also intentionally inclusive and respectful.

Hey everyone, I love dreamgrid and what Fred does, but sometimes with new beta version you get bugs. Until apache is fixed our website will be down. We need apache because we use joomla.

Hoping it is back up soon.

ps. I know we can roll back but when apache borked its a pain to roll back.

We do have regions available for rent and the prices are very reasonable as are the prim allocations which can be upgraded if needed at no additional charge. We are a friendly grid with a good reputation and we'd love to have you join us. Our grid isn't just role play, it's about the role you choose to play whether it is building, creating, developing, decorating, designing, landscaping or social event planning, photography, art, music, or DJing, we welcome all kinds of things including educational venues. Talk to us, we'll work with you.

To all the role players out there, we are opening many of our public regions to role players to use as "sets" to film their role play. Perhaps you have a story to tell, but you don't have the time, or perhaps not the skill, to build a fitting "set" for your role play scenes but would LOVE to film your characters in action. We have multiple types of regions to use as your backdrop from the Ancient BC Era to Futuristic Sci Fi and they're here for you to use in creating your video. If interested just message me here and we'll discuss it. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Added new fun areas to explore to bring your adult friends or partner. Events have not been arranged yet so.. just come when you like. One last reminder, adult forms only at all times and please respect others on the land at all times. Thank you, Wicked Way
