*sympathise*
There's nothing like ineffectual teachers to make you lose all faith in life and humanity. My truest sympathies for what you went through - it shouldn't have happened. But the last place I would ever want to share something as painful as this is b3ta. The bullies that didn't end up in jail or die in car crashes grew up, learned Photoshop and are now at large on the boards of b3ta, scanning the posts for an opportunity to humiliate or irritate another user. By all means try to turn your story in to something positive for the kids of today, but throwing yourself at the mercy of b3ta users is more trouble than it's worth, and not good for your sanity. Good luck.

I think that if you
disregard the noisy troll, who does this week in, week out, the reaction is on the whole sympathetic.

I agree,
I've got to say that reading Windy Pigs assault made me rather angry and I felt sorry for the recipient of this vile, frustrated and ill thought-out Trolling. Then I realised he is Ginger and I felt pity so all was well.

fair comment
I'm hardly on here but this just seemed to stick out. On reflection I'm glad to see the positive replies, but I still wouldn't advise baring one's soul on b3ta. There's always someone getting hit with big sticks over nothing. It's a bear-pit at times.

Given the low amount of replies this question was getting as well as knowing there had been steppings
I figured I'd take a punt, I wouldn't do this again in a couple of weeks based on what I saw in the run up to the break. Beyond Windy's contribution, tbh I think I got through this pretty much unscathed all things considered.

But yeah, not going to be doing it again any time soon.

I can imagine Doc Shambolic etc going
"But it's a comedy website! How dare you take offense to anything people say to you!"

But Shirley that's the point
If you come here without *any* lurkage and jump in feet first then maybe fair-call on we should be more gentle.
However in light of all the sock-puppets (thnx Ignore 2.0 and steppings) I think you're just as likely to come across someone with their L plates who seems fairly aufait as a truly complete noob.
