Your post sounded very familiar to me. Not exactly the same, but when i was in school I was always looked down on. When I look back on it now I can see that it was all related to my own self image. I acted different then others. I tried my best to be invisable but that is difficult in school. Even in nature those that are different are always targets of the others. We like to think of ourselves as more evolved but when it comes right down to it we still react and act much like the other animals in nature. Bullying is a terrible thing. It makes a child dread getting up in the morning. You fear walking down the hall between classes, and lunch is a nightmare. It would be nice if we could educate the world to this problem, make children kinder, but I can't see it happening. If our educators were a little more inlightned it would truely help. We need people in place in school to watch for this and help when needed.
I am very sorry to hear what you went through. You can be a help to others and by sharing yourself here, you have been. thank you.
