Bullying is all about control, and bullies will bully, if they think they can get away with it. I wonder how "Handsome and Attractive" those bullies were? They were probably a funny looking bunch.
Therapy can help you gain your self confidence back. Comparing yourself to others is a short cut to feeling bad about yourself. Go ahead and be quiet and awkward, nothing wrong with that! That is better than being a loud bully like Donald Trump! and he is one funny looking candidate!
There are many quiet and awkward girls out there, just waiting for someone like you. Just read the posts in this forum. Please do think about college.
