Shitty Things People Say Part The Millionth

This is just tremendously depressing to me. And this.

I don't understand why people think bullying is just part of life. Everyone experiences being pushed around, but the way we as a culture just accept this kind of thing to the point that children are committing suicide because of it . . . that's sick.

Word. So much fucking word right there.

I was bullied all through Junior High and High School (all Catholic schools) - changed schools 3 times it didn't help. Attempted suicide twice, ended up in the psychiatric ward twice for extended periods. Was on so many kinds of anti-depressants it's not funny.

My parents had given up by High School - apparently I had done something to bring this on myself, to deserve this, I was just seeking attention by the end of it. (My home life wasn't the best either so there really was no place to turn - my high school counselor kept me alive in more ways than he knows).

Last time I was home for Spring Break my little brother (13) referred to our baby brother (7) was 'gay.' I snapped on him, knocked him to the floor and told him under no circumstances was he ever to refer to him by that word again.

I had short hair I was the only girl who wore pants - everyone was convinced I was a lesbian and the girls treated me like I was going to drag them in a dark corner and molest them, the guys treated me like I was something they could fuck or have me make out with their girlfriends while they watched and got a hard-on.

Took *months* before I could open up my Boyfriend and not jump like a startled rabbit every time he touched me. All I can say is I hope we never run into any of the shits that made my life hell Boyfriend would happily snap their necks (former Marine).

Short hair + pants + so much fucking smarter than the rest of them (get some degree of satisfaction knowing a bunch of my bullies ended up being kicked out of high school and not completing it/aren't in college and I am WITH A SCHOLARSHIP BITCHES).

I was an easy target. The quiet bookworm who didn't have many friends.
