This had better be cathartic.
We'll I was bullied from infant school to the day I entered 6 form. Many events stand out but the worst times were at my first junior school. I must admit I was hardly the most conforming of kids well I was downright wierd and had a temper to boot at that age but I certainly did not deserve the abuse I got, especialy with the teachers and headmaster being as much use as a soggy cabbage at ending it. You would think that a kid of 8 or so having his head smashed through a sink by a 12 year old might draw their attention though, nope given a "this child banged his head watch out for a concussion" card and sent to my next lesson, then I was yelled at before I went home for damaging school property, as though I chose to smash my head through a sink myself. I got my teeth kicked in every day at that school for two and a half years but it took me really snapping and beating one of the gangs into a bloody mass with a chair in year 5 before the school decided to let on the extent to which I was being bullied to my parents and I got moved to a rather nice school a couple of streets away. I took me years to get over the bullying and it was only really the friends I made in 6 form and year 11 that turned me into the decent upstanding nerd/ nice guy you see today. I have many stories of how I've been bullied, and to be perfectly fair some of them are quite funny in retrospect so I might tell them some other time.
Sorry for seriousness, I just wanted to post this cause I don't really tell people at all, so annon over the internet, it's nice to get this crap off my shoulders once in a while.

Its good to share
I hope you feel a bit better after that rant. I've said it many times this QOTW, but it still rings true - there is no excuse or valid reason for that to happen to you. It's bad enough for the kids do it, but inexcusable for the teachers to look the other way. I hope you're doing better now, and you're a better man than those who did those things to you.
