There should be a section on here for bullying and the effects that go into adulthood.
When I was a teen, I was severely bullied, by about three sources. There were 3 guys who beat me under the bleachers on a semi-regular basis. I'd cry and was physically hurt by these guys. Another kid in general enjoy bullying me on his own. He'd sit next to me in class and punch me with his elbow and say threatening things to me. This happened almost every day. Finally, there were some really mean girls that would bully and beat me.
Back in those days, in the early 80's, not much was done to control this type of behavior. Today I suffer from social withdrawal, as well as a form of schizoaffective that the doctor calls abnormal because I have so much fear associated with it. I know the bullying has carried into adulthood as a part of my psychiatric profile.
Anybody else have a story to tell about bullying?
