Hello,
I'm a 18 nearly 19 year old female.

I have been struggling with relationships ever since I started, it's been a difficult time from then til now
I treat all my boyfriend's like absolute $#%^, even when I try not to, like I say things to them that hurt them, or I purposely go out of my way to make them cry and beg me for stuff, like I'll break up with them, just ...

This problem started when I started middle school. See, I was a shy, weak, puny, and small kid, and still am kind of. So because of that, I was bullied. Now, many people who get bullied kill themselves, but I was different. I wanted to kill the bullies instead.
I could fight my bullies or ignore them or tell someone, but my bullies are not normal bullies. They often times act gangster, or ghetto and ...

It happened some 8-10 years ago, but I'm ashamed that I still suffer the consequences. It seems that I have AvPD now, and I'm ashamed of it. I'm a semi recluse, have people of my age all around me, but they must think I'm weird. I isolated myself to protect myself. And I just didn't sit at home, playing videogames and stuff. I learnt so many things, accomplished many technical stuff that normal people would ...

Two years ago I posted about my sisters boyfriend beginning to bully me and how distraught I was about being in the situation. I was scared of him at first so I just automatically accepted it and didn't fight him. Over time, I began to get my courage up and began to resist and fight him, he didn't like that it was a challenge to bully me anymore so he stopped doing it. Unfortunately what ...

Dear childhood bullies,

Was it worth it? The daily ridicule, the constant teasing and the relentless names. Did you enjoy it? Watching my confidence dissolve as I wilted into a former figure of myself. Was it funny? Seeing me now too afraid to look you in the eye. I hope that by giving me my daily dose of torture, by ruining my day, yours was some how made. Maybe then what you put me through ...

Just got a new job for a month now, had tons of tests and interviews just for it, aced them all, or so I thought...last two weeks were hell on earth, this is a small agency (no hr, just the owner and a couple of people working for her) she gave me a task, apperently I made a small mistake, or didn't understood what she wanted me to do....and all hell broke loose, she called ...

I was severely abused as a child and kept very isolated. I was bullied at school as long as I can remember. I'm now mostly agoraphobic, PTSD, major depression, homeless, panic attacks, no friends, no job, etc. When I tell someone that I wish I was "normal" and they respond casually with "Well, what's normal anyway?", I get so upset. It happens almost every time!

Anybody else get upset by this question?

Do any of you all think bullying is what caused the perpetrators Eric and Dylan to snap and kill 12 people and do you think bullying has decreased since Columbine happened?
