Day after day, I would be beaten to a pulp. My face would lie broken and bloodied. I received a broken nose twice. A fractured collar bone. And 2 broken fingers.
Not only that, but constant mental torture. Being told I'm worthless, that I should go kill myself, that no one loves me and no one will ever love me. To make matters worse, the teachers would also abuse me. Physically and emotionally. Teachers would tell me I was a worthless student. One called me a little pussy in class.
You want to know what the worst thing they did to me though?
During gym when we would change clothes, if I looked at them in a "weird or bad way" they would hold me down, pull off my pants and cut my legs. One slash for every time I looked at them.
I still have the scars.
Making things even worse, the on campus officer didn't believe me. When I showed them what they did, he said they were self inflicted and I only wanted attention.
I hated that place. I got the hell out. Before I did though, I did to them what they did to me. I fucked them up good.
My god. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like having someone you love treat you like that.mimssy said:*hug!*
I went through the mental part of that. It was the worst thing I've ever endured. I didn't even have a family to back me up or make me feel loved when I got home- just drunken swears about how I was nothing.
The hardest part of the abuse for me was that it stemmed from someone I loved with every fiber of my being and he betrayed me. He used me, lied to me, manipulated me, raped me, and told me that he loved me one day and hated me the next. I thought I wasn't worth being treated with compassion or respect.
Then he turned his friends and mine against me. For the longest time I had no one to turn to. Even my teachers would look at me and wonder if the things he said were true. I graduated with 2 people who would still call me a friend and those guys had been beaten and abandoned too.
No one should ever be made to feel that way. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, and I'm glad to know that there was at least some satisfaction at the end.
It's been 2 years and I've put a lot of it behind me (moving 450 miles away has certainly helped). Most days, it seems like a bad dream that happened a lifetime ago. It's a weird feeling to know that I've been through all of that and so few of the scars show through to the people who know me. I'm still very cautious about people I don't know and it takes me a long time to warm up to people. I still find befriending men easier than women (though to be honest, I'm a little afraid of men now), which seems weird to me all things considered.Julianking93 said:My god.

The mental anguish must have been horrible. I hope you've recovered from it at least a bit, though no one can ever blame you if you can't.
Just know that no matter what someone says, does or tells you, you always have someone to turn to. Someone will always be there for you. Be it at home or even here. That's actually how I got over my shit. The people I've met here have become my only friends and I trust and love them just like I would real life friends. I truly do.
I know it may be much to ask, but you need to move on. Don't focus on the past. I know it's hard to do and there will be days when you break down (trust me, I know) but know that what's done is done. It's over now and you're away from it. Live your life.
I hope you have indeed managed to come back a bit from that.

You can't trust teachers or anyone in the school to help you with your problems, because if they do they will get sued by the tormenters parents. The teachers you were stuck with sound like a bunch of selfish pricks with fucking mouths on them and the campus officer sounds like a fucking joke, not many people would go that far for attention. Punishments for bad behaviors in school are a god-damn insult, you should have contacted the police instead, but it's good that you stood up to those bastards. I can now see why you hold onto this.Julianking93 said:Physical and mental.Blatherscythe said:snip

It's great to hear you've overcome what has happened to you. You've moved away and gotten far from anything near those people which is actually a great thing to do. Get a fresh new start with new people, which is what you've done.mimssy said:It's been 2 years and I've put a lot of it behind me (moving 450 miles away has certainly helped).

I can convey the actions taken against me with ease and little emotion; however, discussing how I felt during that time and how truly fragile I can sometimes still be has been difficult at best. My biological family still doesn't know (and my folks and I no longer even speak). My friends that I have made into my family can never truly understand because they weren't there and few, if any, have ever been cast away like rotting trash (a fact that I am happy about for their sakes). It seems odd how optimistic I can be and am rarely seen without a smile (and an honest one, filled with true happiness).
While I can never forgive him, I have made peace with my past and those demons seem as harmless as a sleeping kitten. A new town, a new start, a new life. I don't regret it because I'm happy where I am today.
I'm trying to let go, I truly am, but it's so fucking hard to.Blatherscythe said:You can't trust teachers or anyone in the school to help you with your problems, because if they do they will get sued by the tormenters parents.

In all seriousness, it's great that you have moved on. It takes a lot of strength to do that, and I applaud you for it *hugs again*
Thanks a lot, man. I'm still not out yet, D.C. was a temporary thing. 1 more year and I'm out of this literal shitbowl....then I can pursue my dream of....being an Actor!! You heard it here first! Tagball will become a famous and highly respected actor....until he is convicted of punching a midget.Blatherscythe said:Well your out of there and you don't have to put up with his bullshit anymore. Hope things get better.

I wish I could just make peace with it. They got what they deserved. Broken teeth, broken ribs and nearly deformed faces after what I did to them but why is it that I can't let go? I feel as if I held back. That I should have done more to them.
I still see their goddamn faces and their stupid fucking grins on people out in the street and when I do, I want to tear their fucking head off.
I really need to let go of that anger. I know what it will do to me if I hold onto it for too long.
