Bullying is horrifically effective at protecting itself. One huge reason I never got help with the bullying was fear. Fear that moving me in the class room would further isolate me from my peers. Fear of retaliation. Etc.
They had me convinced I deserved the abuse or that it wasn’t abuse. They were “just telling me to expect to live my life alone and that no one would ever love me” out of the goodness of their hearts.
Why seek help with something that’s “not even a thing”?
That’s why third parties need to oversee student interactions.
- wallace_f 8y agoThanks for this comment. It is accurate at describing my circumstances as well. Although in my case I think I am fortunate a lot of people want to help me, but are scared to, or dont know what to do. Unfortunately, my immediate peer group is where this started.
