Bullied, Then Blamed for Breaking Down

I used to think anti-bullying lessons were just another box to check. But the truth is, no one teaches you what to do when it’s not just kids in the hallway—when it’s the teacher’s silence, the way the class laughs, the way you start to believe you deserve it. I remember sitting in the bathroom stall, tracing the tiles with my shoe, wondering if I’d ever feel safe in my own skin. The school counselor said, "Ignore them, focus on your work." So I did. I got the grades, but I lost the parts of myself that used to feel real. People say it gets better. I’m still waiting. #SchoolTrauma #NotJustGrades #MentalHealthMatters #Education
