There, there, it's ok to cry. Here, have a tissue. That's it, a good blow. Let me get rid of that for you.
So let me understand this. It's hard when you're whispering into your hands between sobs. Shh, don't even think of apologising.
So they stole your bag at the bus stop this morning. And then? Oh right, they filled it with dog poo. But only after they'd taken your lunch out and fed it to the hedgehog.
I see. How did they get it from you? Remind me. That's right, I do recall. That explains the cuts and bruises. No, I'm sure the black eye won't take too long to heal and fade.
And then the bus came, and they didn't try and stop you getting on today. That's good. Yes, I'm sure that you'd rather they hadn't let you. I don't think I'd have enjoyed being tied to the seat by my hair either. Still, it was nice of the bus driver to cut you free. Don't be silly, you'd never notice the missing clumps.
I agree completely. It was totally unnecessary for them to spread the contents of your gym bag all across the field. I'm sure the missing shoe will turn up before too long.
Did you manage to borrow some money for lunch? Yes? Good. Lunch IS better when no one has spat on it, you're right.
No, I don't suppose they will leave the key in the cupboard door anymore. It's a shame that everybody was in lessons and no one could hear you. I agree, it's not nice to come round from a panic attack on top of a stack of boxes in the dark. They could have done you serious harm by not taking the bag off your head.
Well I shall be having a few choice words to say to his mother about that. But the teacher did let you shower to get it out, right? At least you didn't smell of chocolate yoghurt for the rest of the day today.
I'm sure she didn't really mean it. You're not to listen to her, anyway. She's just jealous that her vocabulary hasn't developed enough to come up with something better than "fat smart-arse bitch". I think I have an eraser here, so you can get it off your books. I'm sorry about your painting though.
So who did you sit next to on the bus on the way home, anyone nice? I never realised the windows opened far enough to get a persons head out either. You do indeed learn something new every day.
I know, they made an awful mess of the pavement too. We're going to be cleaning egg and flour off of your clothes for a while, I think.
Look on the bright side Christina, you're home now. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.
Sweetheart, please stop crying.
Sweetheart?

You are a very sweet woman stin, but when someone is attacking you, you need to bring up your inner psycho, and fight back with everything you've got. No bully will beat on you if he thinks himself/herself highly likely to get hurt in the process. Don't be a victim.

It sounds stupid, but maybe they needed some bullying to put things into perspective for them. Then they might have realised how reatrded they were acting and decided to prove themselves. Oh well, at least you've shown them you're a better person now.

Seb, I live in a village of 500 people. Sadly, I can't avoid them. We pass the time of day if there is no way of avoiding contact.
However, I do take great pleasure in walking past some of the ones who I don't live near and saying hi, then watching their expression of shock when I tell them who I am. Especially when I see them vastly overweight, working in the convenience store, on the way to the dole office or pushing a screaming baby around.
I've come a long way from the spotty kid with braces, bottle-bottom glasses and lank, greasy hair.

Christ, all I had to put up with was childish "frenchy" comments (and english comments when I lived in france). Sorry it happened to you.
I know you said you had utter contempt for them, but have you ever talked to them since then?

I never found solace. I put all the memories away, hid them in a dark corner of my mind where I try not to go too often.
The kids who did it are still arseholes. They're just grown-up arseholes now. They're doing their mindless dead-end jobs in a mindless dead-end town, blissfully unaware of what they did to an innocent little girl.
The only way I came to terms with it at all was to stop wasting emotion on them. I don't hate them anymore; they're not worth it. I just hold them in my deepest contempt.

I spoke to the kid that beat me up on the phone. My sister gave him my number in a club because he wanted to apologise. He sugested we meet up for a drink because he genuinely had no idea the effect that his constant abuse had on me.
He admitted he was a cunt and we said we'd meet up. I was terrified but agreed because his entire persona was different on the phone, the snotty little shit voice was replaced by a pleasant sounding young man.
I never went for the drink, he was really busy with his work and mad the effort to call and text me a couple of times to try and organise it, but it never happened. I'm kind of glad I didn't have to go through with it, but I got my closure on the whole thing and I no longer fear anything.

Every day Paul. Every single goddamn day.
I considered it a good day when they only stole one thing or locked me in a cupboard or ripped my homework up. On a bad day, they did all of that and way, way more.
Fuckers.

I struggle to find solace in the fact that these people turned out to be nice guys in the end. I don't know who to blame... Satan? The parents? How can I forgive years of abuse from a person that has become someone else?

Peckerhead -
I write to clear my head. I find just writing to be an enormous release a lot of the time. When I post what I have written, it forces me to write coherently and to actually formulate something which makes sense.
So in short, yes it does help.

My mom made me get these awful haircuts, they were mullet-like and just all-together bad. Kids at school called me Oprah (though I'm nowhere near black, overweight, or rich). And then they called radio stations and made fun of me. Sigh.
I know. I don't get it either.

I had therapy - about seven years of it, in fact.
The first time it came up, I couldn't even remember being young. The second time it came up, I cried for seven hours solid, then went to bed and quite literally didn't get up again for a week.
Not again thanks, going through it once was bad enough.

If you haven't already tried, you should probably get therapy for it. No doubt you've tried though.

You want the back story?
I'd love to be able to give it to you.
8 years of my life that I can't remember. EIGHT FUCKING YEARS. 8 years of pictures of a girl who looks like me, has my face, my smile, the same shitty-arse haircut. But she could be anyone. I can't promise you she was even me, although I'm assured she was.
It's a Pandora's Box I don't open very often. It hurts too much. This is nothing but the laquer on the top.
