Lisa Freeman Bullied & the Bully Teen Runaway Now Running to Schools

Lisa's Story Of Bullying, Abuse, Violence, & Victory

She grew up on the streets and now she's back on them...

All Lisa ever wanted was love, all she ever got was abuse, neglect and rejection. Even in school she was bullied and later became the school bully. "I hated fighting, but once I got the label of being the school bully, it gave me more power than I'd ever had. For once I wasn't being abused. Still I was afraid of the bigger bullies."

At 13 she met her Prince Charming. He was 17. "It was love at first sight. We were pretty much inseparable." After skipping school to be together, Lisa was placed on probation, and the two were forced apart. One day they met secretly and her boyfriend came up with a great idea.

"Let's just run away." It sounded like the perfect plan.

There was only one problem, once Lisa started running, she couldn't stop. She was literally on the run for her life. Searching for love, acceptance, and to belong, she ran to all the wrong things--drugs, alcohol, peer pressure and abusive relationships.

At 17 she discovered the one true love she should have been running to all along--Jesus Christ. But although she had this newfound freedom and love, she continued to make poor choices, which sadly led to even more abuse for her and her precious children.

Overcoming Domestic Violence

At 26, after two very abusive marriages, Lisa, a single mother of 3, started running in a whole new direction. She got her GED, went onto college, maintained a 4.0 and made the Dean's List. Soon after she started writing, worked for some of the best markets in the industry, and became an Award-Winning Christian Author. Now she teaches other writers how to get published. Not bad for a girl with only a 7th grade education!

Later she went onto Bible College, where she received a degree in Christian Ministry. She founded A Time To Heal Ministries & Take A Bite Out Of Abuse and has held workshops/trick presentations to stop abuse and bullying all over Michigan. Aside from that she became an Award-Winning Certified Pet Therapist through Therapy Dogs International & teaches other handlers and dogs how to become certified. In her free time she's also a freelance photographer.

Today Lisa is running all over the USA again, but this time with her family, dogs, and a positive message...

"Choose Life," Lisa says, "Not all the things I did."
