by Jeanie Cisco-Meth

Overview

Jeanie Cisco-Meth dispels the myth that you can look at a person and know they are being bullied.
"You don't know what a person is going through. You can't just look at someone and know they are the victim of bullying." Jeanie Cisco-Meth

One of the most common phrases parents and teachers say, "We had no idea." Her heart went out to parents every time she heard someone utter those words. She knew she had to do something to help them. "Know the warning signs but don't wait for them." Jeanie Cisco-Meth

Jeanie instructs you on what to do to help end bullying in yourself and your children.

About the Author

Jeanie Cisco-Meth was born Avis Marjean Cisco. Martha, Jeanie’s mother, wanted to name her after her own mother who had died when Martha was only nine. Jeanie’s father, Delbert, wanted to call her Jeanie. They reached a compromise and she was called Jeanie but named Avis. This led to some confusion when Jeanie’s mother enrolled her in Morton Jr.-Sr. High School in Morton, Washington.


Martha said, “I am here to register Avis Cisco for school.”

Jeanie replied, “My name is Jeanie.”

Martha said, “Your real name is Avis, but we call you Jeanie.”

Jeanie said, “Really? OK.”

She was born in Twin Falls, Idaho, but was raised on a dairy farm in Morton, Washington. She spent almost every day riding her pony, Dusty, and later her horse, Sugar. She has many fond memories of the farm and feels blessed to have been raised there. She says, “I believe that the farm helped make me who I am today. It gave me responsibility at an early age and taught me to care for life.”

Animals where her true friends. She spent many hours with them because, “They never yelled at me or put me down. They just loved me. They couldn’t read or write either.” Jeanie had many learning disabilities growing up and struggled in school. She was told by teachers she would never make it past high school and would be lucky to make it there. She remembers how hard it was just to get passing grades. “I felt like just giving up many times then someone would tell me I was stupid or laugh when I tried to read and it would tick me off. I became determined to make just to prove everyone wrong.”

“The thought of writing a book scared the crap out of me. It took a while for others to convince me I had to do it. I did it because I want to help others. I want to heal others from their pain and a book can help me do that. It can reach more people than I can. It can be read again and again and given to friends and family. That is my wish, to start a ripple that spreads through homes, communities, states, countries, maybe even the world. I want others to build themselves up so they can still stand when discouraging things are said to them. I want to help you build your confidence and personal value. Thank you for reading this book.” Jeanie Cisco-Meth

Jeanie understands the value of hard work and determination. It is what brought her to where she is today. She knows more of the same will propel her toward her new dreams.
