Stig ... I've lived your story. We are brothers of the bullyhood or something like that. Like you, everyone knew I was being bullied, all the students, teachers, and parents. I was the skinny kid, beat him ... I don't mean beat him up, like a real boy's fight, i mean beat him. Some of the teachers got in on it in a way.

I never told about the teacher until i reached PC ... many years later.

I'm not diagnosed, but it isn't hard to read up on the symptoms of PTSD and reach some pretty sound conclusions. I finally discovered survivor sites and then PC because i was desperate.

Finding PC is one of the best things ever happened to me. It looks like you've been here awhile so I'm open to any advice along the way. And I'm open to listening or whatever.

It's a crime that bullying is permitted when even verbal assault among adults can be taken to court. Aggravated assault can land adults in jail, but among kids -- who is the protector for the victims?
