This is very important to talk about. I think I still have issues from being bullied and I am in my 40s now. My issues are anger, but more importantly social anxiety and much worse social skills than I wish to have at this age.
Just in case any psychologist are reading this, I would like to point out a type of bullying that I experienced but it is never talked about. It is basically sexual harassment by closeted homosexuals. One kind of assumes that homosexuals are these fey, thin mild mannered and fashionable kids, but in reality a lot of the fat nasty bullies were self hating closet homosexuals. I was always a target for them because I had this childhood disease that made me very thin and tall and pale, and apparently that is very attractive to those scumbags.
And they bullied me verbally and physically and always made me feel like shit. The worst part is I did not know what was happening to me because I did not know much about homosexuality (I grew up in a communist regime that preferred to sweep that stuff under the rug). So I grew up thinking there was something seriously wrong with me.
There is a lot of talk about bullying of gays in school, but there is also the problem of bullying of heterosexuals by homosexuals. To solve this, schools should teach their kids about homosexuality early. Probably as soon as puberty because by then these kids will be confronted by it. And while schools do teach that sexual harassments is wrong they should make it clear that the same holds true for homosexuals. I have a feeling that a lot of gays think they are special and above the general society rules about sexual harassment. Even in my forties I still get my drinks spiked from time to time! And most importantly teachers should be taught to recognize and prevent sexual harassment in the homosexual context as well as the hetero one.
