At the time I was insecure, overly defensive, bitter and constantly angry. I also cried too much, I avoided going to school as much as possible and felt that everything I did or said was stupid and that I was inadequate. Eventually when it got too much I felt suicidal.

My advice to anyone who is bullied is to record the verbal abuse on a voice recorder on your mobile phone. Helps an awful lot when it comes to complaining.
