Thank you for sharing the videos, I know when I watched the first one I bawled my eyes out, like a few mentioned before, I was also bullied and I was bullied relentlessly off and on through elementary school, but especially through middle school up to 9th grade, the worst years for me were definitely 7th and 8th grade, some of the bullying even became physical. The first time i was ever called a dyke, lesbo etc was in 7th grade, I can remember how i felt, how it hurt and how badly i just wanted to escape. Finally by the time I was in 10th grade those that bullied me either moved away or found other ways to keep themselves amused. It is so easy for people to tell those who are being bullied to ignore it or to just laugh etc.. but when you are at that age, when you're still trying to find your way and discover yourself.. words can hurt just as bad as punches.
I am so glad the Trevor Project and other support groups are out there now to help our youth.
