Wow! I'm so sorry to hear about that. You have nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. You are not the bad person here. You are making great strides in trying to improve yourself by getting your license, applying for a job, taking a college course. Anyone with a heart should be applauding and encouraging you.

I think this is a good example of people not understanding mental illness and bullying those that have it. It's no excuse for their behavior, but it's representative of a larger problem in our country about how mental illness is perceived.
