Harassment

Post Reply New Topic

For those of you who were harassed in grade school, how did you deal with it?

Even though I graduated high school a few years ago, I still feel like I'm suffering from it - there's been long-term damage done here. I'm supposed to be moving onto a new and exciting part of my life, but those a**holes don't know how much they actually f****d with my head...

How did you deal with it - does the pain get easier? Any suggestions?

I suggest reading about the Black Arts (not witchcraft but tradecraft). Knowing how to mix certain chemicals,opening different types of locks, and revenge techniques can definitely give one the feeling of self confidence. Although I hardly ever use what I learn (in this area), I do get a certain feeling of empowerment by knowing I can make some a-hole's life very miserable or very short without too much effort. In a way, it is martial arts without the bruises.

I never 'dealt' with it. I got seriously messed up like one of those shoot out want-a-bees. Thank God I never went through high school! I'd have killed one of my enimies without a second thought, and loved it, I'm pretty sure. I became very corrupted, and am still angry that they helped me get there on purpose without feelling sorry! I can't forgive them if they are proud about it! I could have lost my soul!

What pulled me out of this mess (religion aside) was a girl I was close friends with. If she's mad enough now to punch me in the face and spit in my eye, I don't care! The frienship has done so much for me.

She gave me emotional support, and unfortunatly much of my mind was impaired because of the teasing I had in grade school. She actualy made me feel like a human being. She broke up after a nasty attack happened, and when I was too stupid to get the big picture. My mother tried to, and was worried for a time.

My father doesn't diserve thanks here.

All I can say, is that you need support from someone of some soarce, because getting nothing but hatred from your pears most your life, you hate yourself and, of course, don't feel any better. Sorry that I can't tell you any magical, out of the sky miracle technique to fix it in a pinch. I've been recovering for over 15 years now. I'm vastly better though.
