Helen reminds me of the girl who punched me in the stomach because I was fat (I was 8), the girl in high school who knocked my books off my desk whenever she walked past, the girl who would come up to me in front of everyone and call me 'big nose' or some other kind of shallow remark and then go off and laugh with her friends, leaving me sitting there alone with everyone staring and laughing. I was lucky in that I couldn't have cared less about what these people were saying because I don't have any respect for people like that and when I kept standing up to them (eg, 'you're fat' 'I know' *bully is confused*) and not giving them a reaction they eventually stopped. But I hated the attention and the isolation caused (partly from the bully and partly from me just feeling uncomfortable around everyone) and I know that these people are why I still feel uncomfortable when I leave the house and if I hear people laughing I think they're laughing at me. And I can't imagine what it would be like for people who would take their comments and actions to heart. And to me, Helen is one of those people who makes everyone's life a living hell. That's who I see.

And I wouldn't want anyone who has caused that much misery in someone's life to win something that re-affirms they are in the right. The only thing that Helen deserves to win is the ability to look at herself for who and what she is, not what she thinks she is, and to make positive changes in her life. Winning BB will not allow that.

To appease your curiosity i'll enlighten you, i am a fan of Helen i have indeed been bullied, quite severely i may add, but i am a fan of Helen because i dont see those 'bullying' characteristics in her, quite the opposite, i see them quite heavily in Ashleigh instead, she reminds me of the type of people who regularly made my life hell, it works both ways, people may have been bullied by people like Helen in the past, but just as many people have been bullied by people like Ashleigh
