Just like to say your story has such weight. I can relate to this, because i have a daughter at high school at the moment who is dealing with the same or few situations as you have dealt with. She was a victim of bullying as you were with your friends. I feel great sympathy for individuals who have been bullied, and i find it disturbing that they can get away with it. Schools should be doing more, to protect the welfare of students personally. This is a great piece of work & looking forward to reading more.
Cheers Michelle
