Thank you for the subject Hannah.
I was bullied, but I was also abused. I guess that it is really hard for me to find the line between the two.
At school, I was beat up most every day. I don't remember it hurting. By that point I was very good at dissociating. I do remember it though as more evidence that I didn't belong, anywhere.
In high-school, I was once picked up and thrown across a locker room. I landed on my rear, and either bruised or broke my tailbone. I know it had been broken by x-rays, but I can't be sure when.
So.... did bullying affect my life afterward? I don't really know. I suppose that if I hadn't been abused outside the school that it might have. When, however, it was merely an extension of the abuse that I suffered elsewhere, it's like adding one more piece of wood to an already blazing fire.
Dee.
