I was in fights when I was a lad in school, right up through Grade 9. After that age I got wise enough to never get cornered where a bully could 'teach me a lesson'. But there was a lot of whispering behind my back that I was a fag, so that didn't help whenever I got up the courage to ask a girl for a date. I've been bullied emotionally, and verbally as an adult.

what happened to me was being punished for reasons i couldn't work out, people forcing me to scocialise when i just didn't want too.
i used to cry a lot and stop quickly, i was thought of as sensitive because of that.

i was diagnosed with other things and i had to see some psych professionals. i even got sent to this school or kindegarten for a while (some special needs place i have no clue) when i was younger, it didn't help much. i don't remember anything about it, just that my mum told me that every time she would mention us visiting it again (we went back for visits a few times) i would throw a tantrum.
