Yes - if you was not strong in the verbal combat area, high school could be a nasty place to be - and it was.. Not that grade school was better, but I would say high school with all its drama was worse than I ever experienced before or after.. At college the people at least was grown some. And I had moved to a whole other place, where I was not known to much - and could at least try to "re-invent" myself some.. And I would say, college was better than high school - I was not exactly the best pupil, but I did learned a lot, as I had some great teaches who could put me into the right direction if I was wondering about things.. And at least, I was not hiding in the bathroom, and library at college - even though I often was in the Library, who was a great place, a lot of books, and a woman who did know her business - and was rather friendly too..

yeah, we got the battle scars from high school thats for sure - and we survived - even though sometimes a dark age resurface as it did last night - somehow a bad memory going back over 20 year ago deiced to surface to the top of the memories again - and I was waking up, shaking and scared as hell - at 3 in the morning... Not god at all I would say - and it took some time to get the dream going away again... Little sad to sit there in the living room, 36 year old - at the middle of the night almost sobbing over something that happened over 20 year ago - and who you have tried to get rid of... But somehow I managed to get my composition together and get some hours in the bed before morning light... Another day in Paradise I guess...

Sometimes I wonder, if the bullies really know what they are doing harm to another human being, when they act as they do?.. And I have alway wondered - why I was picked on, true all grades - up to high school.. I have asked one I have befriended on Face book in grown age about it - and he have at least tried to give me an answer - of sorts.. But then again, he was not the worst of my "peer" in school, so I think he might not have the best answer to it..

We have just to continue our fight for decency and for making bulling a thing of the past. No easy part, as bullies are great of hiding their intentions - even can be "kind" to the victims - before they hit, hard on their target... And teachers often overlook - or do not care about many forms of bulling either.. As long as you are not beated to near death most teachers have a rather pragmatic view about bulling.. And even the ones who care, can just do so mutch...
