(6,336 posts)Story of my childhood. I was afraid to go to school from 4th grade to high school graduation. Every time I attempted to fight back (which was hard considering I did not grow until high school) it was me who was the one that got in trouble.
My parents solution was to tell me to suck it up and brush it off only to scream at me when report cards came. The school's solution was to put me in a counseling group with girls with drug problems where I learned if I stayed away from the weed everything would be ok. (I never smoked weed before).
And things at home were not any better. My mom is the type that always likes to entertain, and she always invited friends of hers over, who have kids the same ages as my sister and I. Well those kids would bully me so it's not like I escaped it at home. My mom also just brushed everything off.
