I was molested, hit and verbally abused throughout all my childhood and teen years. I had severe depression, nervosa anorexia, anxiety, suicidal attempts and attachment disorders since the first grade. I never recall bein different at school, but people who knew me told me that I used to shout and scream a lot *my abuser only language*. I used to have soo much anxiety that kept me restless. I certainly have drew attention and this all has caused me to be the *black duck* at school. I was bullied, left alone, avoided and in the third, forth and fifth grades i developed a very aggressive attitude that made me even more alone. But reduced the bullying because i started to bully other kids myself. This soon has stopped in the years following as my mental illnesses become more severe. I was bullied again from year 8 till year 12. Graduated, went to college and my policy was to stay alone, so that they dont see that i am weak. I have been completely isolated for two years. I am very focused on school tho, and my performance is excellent. Yesterday tho i was sitting with college mates and i stuttered in a word. One of them has rolled her eyes with a seriously mean facial expression. The other looked at me in a similar way. I soon excused myself and got up, one of them took my chair fast with a *sigh*. I am terrified that they have discovered that I am someone they can mock. Terrified that they discovered that I am weak and bully-able. I had 3-4 panic attacks since then. I can imagine how they will start makin fun of me. I am 19 now, i dont want to be bullied again :'(

I totally know how you feel, I was bullied throughout elementary school and middle school and in high school I became reserved and kept to myself because of it. I am also terrified of being mocked in any way because I'm afraid it will give people the idea that I am "bully-able".
Those kids you were sitting with seem really weird. Stuttering shouldn't be a big deal at all, it's perfectly normal, it seems like they have some kind of problem. I can never understand why bullies do what they do. The only thing I would be able to come up with is jealousy, but I can never find anything about me that's worth being jealous of, so I end up confused and wondering if I did something wrong. Something that might give you comfort though is that in my experience bullying isn't as big in college. It seems to kind of die down later in high school. So even if you notice someone being kinda mean, it's unlikely that they will actually go out of their way to bully you.

Hi friend! You sound like you need to get professional help. Meds, would help you as well. I know how cruel people are. You do'nt want these losers who are making fun of you to be your friends anyway!!! Are there any groups you could join that you like to do that are offered at your college? Again, you need to talk to a therapist.There are a lot of issues I think you have'nt dealt with in your past. A person does not wake up one day and say" Gee. I have nothing to do today, I think I will be a bully. Just as a ''victim'' wakes up one day and says the same thing. I hope things get better for you.
