I used to get bullied a lot, used to get beat up at recess lmao. I was the victim of this one evil girl in elementary school, absolutely ruined my social skills forever and to this day i think she is the reason for a lot of my anxiety. It wasnt like a typical bully, she became my friend and then basically manipulated me into thinking i wasnt allowed to talk to anyone else but her, that id be in trouble if i did, i had to obey everything she said etc etc. she also talked about some umm disturbing things that my young brain didnt need to be hearing about. I was crying every single day after school for the entire year, my parents tried to call the school but they didnt do anything. She'd always blame me for things she did so i spent a lot of time in the principles office as well, once my parents and her parents had to have a meeting with the principle discussing something i cant remember, but it was pretty awful. She ended up getting expelled from my school district a few years later. It's taken me up to about the last year to develop some normal social skills and learn how to be somewhat outgoing. I never really talk about her because, how much damage could a 3rd grader really do, right? i feel kind of stupid for letting myself be affected by it, but i never really accepted that being bullied DOES have an affect on you, whether you realize it or not!
