You say you've been treated like shit your whole life...I can relate to you in that I have been the victim of bullying, teasing, and sexual harassment. I MUST say that the problem doesn't lie with you though -- it lies with the people who have tried to hurt you. Something is obviously wrong with them, otherwise they wouldn't have done what they did.
Can you try to be more assertive? When I was harassed, I sent a complaint to the human rights commission and it got accepted. Can you do something on a smaller scale?
