the world is indeed full of cruel people, i have experienced it myself as well. I know exactly how it feels to be tortured in school. i had it all my life that it led me to have the name " mute girl" in school. I just figured whatever i had to say meant nothing to anyone anyway. i was beaten up by boys and teased and i am a girl, it was that bad. As many bad people as there are out there, there are so many good people too. All the people you have found here have been hurt just like you or in another way. We all understand what you are going through and how you feel, i think we all felt alone and misunderstood until we found a place where we belong. What happened to you was awful and wrong but you will find that a part of you will grow from it. You find yourself now seeing how you were treated and have a way of helping people who have gone through the things you have. I always believe that karma happens. Whatever wrong doings will be undone and you will have such a happy and amazing life. I know it deep in my heart. Best wishes *Sally
