Just can't afford it now.

For me primary school was far worse than high school. I was badly bullied from my first day to my last day of primary school. I then went to an okayish high school for about a term before my mental health deterioated and I was eventually hospitalised in our local adolescent psych ward for the first time. For the rest of high school I went to an alternative school and they were good, wasn't really bullied but was still in and out of the adolescent psych ward. But they were good at supporting me and the other students were ok.

I was bullied in every school I went to.

Bullies are among the lowest form of scum honestly.


If I ever lost what little bit of sanity I have and decided having children is a good idea, I would make them go to martial arts classes at a young age. I would teach them to not put up with a bully's crap and to never strike first but always strike last. I would also teach them to defend the weaker kids that are struggling with being bullied.


All bullies understand is fear and intimidation. I would teach any future children in my life how to put the bullies in their place. If they get suspended from school for fighting a bully, I would reward them greatly.

My mother never really believed I had problems in the first place, and then she would tell me just "just ignore it for heaven's sake" and, "Don't you ever embarrass me by fighting, if you do you have lost me...." AS IF I have your support in the first place? Really??

Thank you so much for making this thread, whispershadow I've had problems in school as well, despite getting good marks. It was always too hard for me and I was constantly anxious, nervous and stressed. I just couldn't handle it. The same thing is happening now that I'm going to university. Why must I be so weak? I'm so sorry for everyone whos was/is struggling in school. Just try to hang on as much as you can. It's not your fault and you're not dumb if you're struggling. Sending many hugs to everyone

I had a lot (a hell of a lot) of problems in school.

first their was the anxiety, it would hit at any moment and I'd become frozen to the spot (unable to do anything)

secondly all the hospital visits putting me behind

and thirdly my memory just doesn't retain information. I eventually dropped out at a really young age (which is sad, because I missed out on so much)

my pannic attacks also started in school

so it meant I had to be excluded from events

sometimes that was hard, especially if it was something I really wanted to do.
