Morning, how's your day going so far?

I agree with what you say about the bullies @coylygirl and @Sandy_123

I was badly bullied as I went to a private school for a year and a term on a scholarship.  Then I had to got to the local comp and even the kids I'd got on with at  primary hated me.  I had my first major depression at 12 and this lasted until I was 15 when suddenly we were doing our O levels (showing my age here) and suddenly it was cool to be bright.  I think I've been bipolar all my life but was only diagnosed at 43.  I had a few amazing friends and it has been a delight to touch base with them and find out what they've been doing.  Despite the marriages, divorces, kids, jobs, they're basically the same gang I knew all those years ago and they have helped support me.  So take the plunge (when you're ready), you could find yourself with a bunch of New/Old friends 

Sometimes I wonder how the kids I knew at school are getting on but I have resisted going to a reunion . Maybe in another fifty years I’ll think differently. I was bullied from day one by very big kids then spent four years fighting my way through school, left at fifteen and I have never wanted to return since.
