I was bullied when I was growing up. People called me terrible names.. I would stay up late thinking of what to say back. I asked other people what to say back. I called them "buffoons" and they laughed in my face, this term didn't hurt them and me stuttering it to them didn't make it hurtful it just made me even more sad looking. I asked my therapist what to do and he said "ignore them". When they are in your face with a broom pulling your hair, this is impossible. I felt hopeless. But I never let them take my happiness completely away. Oh I cried. But I had my family, I had my friends and I had my teachers I liked. In these difficult times remember what you have, even if all it is is a roof and a full belly and a full glass of water. Be grateful for every present you have. I'm not saying bullying or abuse should be tolerated, because what you are going through is awful and you have every right to how you feel about it. But I'm telling you how to appreciate what you have that's good in your life, before you lose that too. With that you will have a great wealth of friendship and love. Take care. *hugs*
