I came across this on Yahoo. Unfortunately, my illness started before I learned to fight back.

"Bullying victims have more psychotic symptoms"

I believe this, I can remember at the early ages in school such as between 8-11, I was bullied, I remember 3 girls jumping me, back then it was alot of hair pulling, but did hurt.
When I got into Middle school 8 th grade, I remember this girl who kept making fun of me and I would tell my parents and they said, I need to stand up for myself.. and I did, I
went to schoolthe next day, during school it was arranged to meet up and fight after school
and we did, everyone was out there, and I just hit her in the face and it was on...
I won! I carried that hurtful feeling for many yrs. and it still hurts to think back.
Like ppl here say there depression started yrs ago, I believe that is my case as well.
Bulling is very hurtful and you never forget it
if you are the one being bullied.
