Hello Jared,

I was also bullied at school and even though it was almost six years ago I remember the pain very well. My parents migrated to Britain from Korea long before I was born and I was the only foreign student in my year. Like you, I went through some terrible times and had very few friends to trust, but I did learn one very important thing:

Please do not suffer by yourself. It may seem that you are alone, but you should allow your mentor or your parents to help you. Letting yourself become isolated is the worst thing you can do, I've let it happen to myself and I've realised that it is not a good place to be in.

Up until recently, nobody knew how I felt either. I held my sadness inside me and because my parents pushed and pushed it exploded. I was ashamed at first, but now that they know I feel that things have gotten easier. At least now they know how unhappy I am.

Nobody will ever know how you feel inside unless you tell them. I know it's hard, but you can do it.
