yeah so..
The story
Sorry if this feels too long for y'all. Do skip this if you don't wanna go through it all. I feel like I'm reaching out desperately for attention and warmth by people by doing this. But I'm gonna say it all anyway. I'm a victim of bullying in school. I've never been able to say it all completely word by word before until now. It all started with me falling off of my school van, and of course constant headfalls by family abuse, and developing epileptic seizures. I got heavily targeted by my school mates for this temporary disability i had. I used to eat tabs for seizures, i don't remember the name of it as my parents moderated my medications. It made me lethargic and drunk basically. I barely had any idea of what was happening around me. I was always in a daze. But everyone, took advantage of it and belittled me. Even one of my teachers. It all actually started from 3rd grade, before that i was extremely bright and a top grade student. Also started from my 3rd grade homeroom teacher. She knew i had a problem and would still make me do things i genuinely couldn't and then punish me in front of everyone, announcing everyone that I'm a "Retard", yea that's right, she used that word at me without any sense of remorse or sympathy for me. And this is how no one started respecting me. They'd steal my tiffins, my stationery, put stones in my backpack, pull my hairband and throw them in the dustbin, break stuff and then blame me for doing it because OF COURSE I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON I WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF EVERYTHING AND FELT LIKE A BURDEN. Once my "friends"... my naive ass used to think they were my friends, broke my bench partner's glasses, and blamed it all on me when i was clearly just taking a nap. They beat me in the class in front of everyone. I went and complained to my teacher about it but she did nothing ofc. I got a stray dog bite in 5th grade, and yeah... it fuelled their excuses for bullying me. I joined karate in school to kind of cope with all this, and i was surprisingly very adept at it. But yeah, i became an outcast to everyone there too, except my sensei who used to praise me for everything. 6th grade. I got bullied by my class teacher again. She'd say I'm a crybaby and can't do anything on my own, and call me smart in front of my parents. What a horrid woman. Again everyone ostracized me for that. I finally met my math teacher in 6th grade who was kind enough and understood me and validated me for my qualities. I got attached to her because it was the first time i got praised and felt loved by someone. I almost didn't want to transfer schools because of her. 8th grade scored some friends and became one of the top students again, but yeah, i had no luck in my life, they all got striped away from me at 9th grade, got stuck in an alien class, with no one i knew or no one who respected me. But then again, in 9th grade I became one of the top 10 rankers out of nowhere, all that alone studying paid off. I became the most knowledgeable person in class, which I'm proud of, but still got heavily hated and based by the people in my class. They'd ask me for notes, and then write curses on the back of my copies and give them back. I got tired of it all and asked my parents to change schools but guess what? they said "bear with it" and would ask me for advice if i should. Who in their right mind asks a kid for their opinion on this? If i suddenly caught a liking to some teacher, of course i wouldn't see the bigger picture and say no to transferring. But they thought i was "mature" enough and asked me these and now blame me when i tell them why they didn't do it all. 10th grade i was finally opening up and started to show myself despite my fear of people, but yeah. The world hates me. Welcome corona quarantine. Got sheltered again. Broke me again completely. Couldn't get myself out of the shell anymore and passed 12th like this. I kind of got adapted to the people in the place i lived in, sounds contradictory to my whole story, but yeah, it was the norm i knew. Then my parents, heartlessly, had no pinch of wellbeing for me, and transferred places. Went to the south, where people have NIGHT AND DAY differences from the north. Were nicer but sexist, i couldn't stand them, it wasn't the normal public in my eyes. I somehow managed to put a face at university for the first year and a half of the second, forcing myself to stand out and look cool, look like a well knowledgeable person, who's good at everything. But I couldn't anymore. I dropped my academics, stopped trying, but idk how i somehow miraculously completed my degree. I'm sorry for venting so much. I had to finally let all of this out for once. It's been like months since I graduated my university. I know I shouldn't let this past bother me, but it keeps haunting me every single moment of my existence. I had to let it all out, this app seemed perfect to do so. Thanks for reading till here. I just want to feel heard and seen, may it be even anonymously.

Whoa, that's a wild ride of a story. Can't believe you had to deal with all that nonsense. Some people, including teachers, just suck, period. Sounds like you got dealt a pretty bad hand, plus the family drama, adding fuel to the fire. I've seen and heard of bullies in school getting away with way too much. Sucks your parents didn't help more. "Bear with it?" Seriously? That's messed up. Hanging in there and getting your degree is a win, though. But yeah, those past scars are tough to shake off. Maybe talking to someone offline could help? Don't let all that junk hold you back, man.
Man, that's rough, honestly feel for you. Bullying and crappy teachers are the worst and it's ridiculous they get away with it; sounds like no one had your back when you really needed it. Family should've done more too, "bear with it"? Nah, that's not cool. Reminds me of when I had a teacher who always picked favorites and ignored the rest of us 😤. It's so unfair you had to bottle it all up. You made it through and that's huge. Past messes with your head, but don’t let it control you. Maybe try chatting with someone who gets it? Keep pushing forward; there's gotta be something brighter ahead.
sounds like you went through a lot, but you know, there's always a silver lining. i get that bullying is tough, but sometimes resilience builds from it; kinda like what “what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.” maybe focusing on personal growth could help. not saying it's easy, but your story isn't unique; many have faced similar obstacles. yeah, the education system can be flawed, but it's not all bad. you managed to get through it, right? that's a win in my book. keep moving forward. things usually work out if you stay persistent. life's unpredictable, but that's what makes it interesting. hang in there! 🌟
wow, your story is definitely intense!!! bullying and those toxic educators are obstacles that should never happen!!! you're right to feel frustrated. can't believe people acted like that; it's unfair. but remember that resilience often leads to personal development. “every cloud has a silver lining,” right?? maybe your experiences will guide you to empathize with others in similar situations. you persevered through adversity, completing your degree. that's a significant achievement!!! hang in there; things can get better!!! keep focusing on your goals, and who knows what opportunities will appear?? keep moving forward!!! 😊
sounds like you've been through quite a storm, and it's amazing you're still standing. those people that tormented you, including the teachers, clearly lacked empathy and basic human decency 🤨 how do people get away with that in a setting meant for growth and learning? the education system seriously needs reevaluation; far too many stories like yours slip through the cracks. that being said, it's seriously impressive that you managed to become highly knowledgeable and rank among the top students; that's no small feat considering the circumstances 👏 it's natural for the past to cast shadows over the present, making things seem daunting at every turn. given everything you've endured, have you considered seeking professional guidance to help make sense of these experiences? moving forward, it's crucial to hold onto your achievements and let them guide you towards a brighter horizon. despite the hurdles, your resilience shines through, and that's something to be proud of. keep pushing forward, and remember, you're definitely not alone in this journey.
that’s a lot to unpack, but are you sure the negativity isn’t being exaggerated a bit? life’s full of challenges, and yeah, you had a rough time at school; but focusing on the bad stuff too much might hold you back. i had a tough time in high school too and thought it was all doom and gloom; eventually, i realized some of it was just in my head. ever think about how these experiences could make you stronger in the long run? maybe try to focus on those positives, like your achievements and the few good people you met. you got through it and even graduated, so that's a huge win. keep your chin up and look towards the future—things can definitely get better. 😊
