I went to school in the UK during the 80s.

When I first started secondary school in the UK at the age of 11, I was an over weight geekish kid.
I had asthma and eczema. I was also a little different in many ways, as I was brought up with a strong sense of equality, fairness and honesty. In fact, I was the only kid that lived in my area that wasnt into lying, ...

Hey guys. Sorry in advance for the long post, but...I need to unburden myself really. I've been meaning to deal with this issue for a long while. To start off with, I have AS, but have prided myself on being more self-confident and able to deal with most challenges. However, about 12 years ago, it was a different story.

To keep in brief, when I was seven, I went to a state-run primary school. I ...

I had moved out of my parents house at 17 but for some financial circumstances I have had to move back home temporarily. I had forgotten how weird my mother's behavior was. I seriously don't know what to do. She keeps all of my money and decides what I get to spend it on even though I do earn that money she takes my paychecks. she will criticize me and insult me when we go ...

Well I'm a year out of high school and I don't miss anything about it.

I find myself thinking back to times from elementary through high school where I'd been bullied and I wish I could go back in time and stand up for myself.

I hate that I allowed myself to be bullied and I didn't even tell a teacher or anything because that would lead to more people teasing me for being a ...

No idea why he does it, most the time he's really nice, but occasionally he'll get pissed at me for something like tonight I hadn't done the dishes and he just started yelling at me. And he usually goes on and on and on so instead of standing there and taking it I just turned around and walked upstairs. He yelled at me not to walk away from him but I didn't listen and just ...

For reference: top post posted by 'Lady', bottom by 'Gentleman'

In the photo the bottom post (Gentleman) came first and the one above (Lady) right after. These two people dislike each other very much, but are/were my two closest friends. I have noticed growing up that Lady would say mean things behind my back but then pretend to be my friend. I have recently (after 13 years of friendship) separated myself from Lady because ...

4 years ago my so-called friends decided I was mentally ill and set about trying to cure me through harassment and deformation of character. They have made my life miserable and at one point they drove me to a nervous breakdown.

I got my doctor to refer me to a psychiatrist to prove I'm not mad. I've seen a few people now at the same center and they all think my so-called friends are idiots. ...

Please don't make fun of me or anything this is my first time ever being on a site like this because the other sites I use wont understand me. I just need someone to talk to, or just to have someone listen to what I have to say.
My name is Meghan and I have been bullied and cyber bullied. It all started in middle school. I went to one school first and made no ...

All,
I'm not a mod, so I couldn't move her posting to this forum, but I cut/pasted the post below for Kath314 so that you in this sub-forum could give her situation a glance and maybe give her some responses.

Quick summary: she was severly bullied as a child and her own child's being bullied and that's triggering her. So she needs some advice from anyone who may have gone thru or be going thru ...

I was bullied by the entire school from 7th-10th grade for not fighting, playing sports, and being a dark-skinned black person (as opposed to light-skinned). I wasn't the only person going through this at that school, but I never got the chance to meet the other afflicted kids. Instead of concentrating on my studies, I had to prepare for what would happen the next day, each day. Whenever I studied instead, I paid dearly for ...
