Yes, I have been. It’s consequences have led into adulthood. I suffer from low-self esteem,depression and substance abuse. It also caused me to attempt suicide in the 7th grade. It caused poor performance in school aggression towards others but yet constant seeking approval of others leading to sexual vulnerability.

There was nothing I felt that I can do about it. Everytime I went to teachers, it made the problem worse. It even caused teachers to bully me for my constant whining and crying. This was over ten years ago when bullying was not a big issue as it is now.

I wasn’t bullied, but I was the kid who stuck up for other kids who were bullied.

I didn’t but knew kids that did. It was very sad.
