Why did I get abused at such a young age?

I was abused verbally, emotionally, and a few times physically. It wasn't by my relatives, but my "friends" in elementary school. We were classmates, but it felt like they formed a huge group consisting of the whole class, save for a few people who weren't even my friends and I hardly talked to. They would push me, call me stupid and a loser who needs friends, they would hurt my feelings every day. I didn't want anyone to know because I would be humiliated. They even went so far as to tell my mom that I told them I hated her. When I found her, she was in tears and told me what happened. After that, I was furious because they can hurt me all they want, but doing anything to my mom would have been too far. They even once wouldn't let me sit down on a bench near them and would block me from getting through. I was crying afterwards and they acted like they didn't see me. I hoped the teacher would notice and if he didn't, then he's pretty ignorant. I know one reason was because I was ALWAYS getting the highest score in class for everything and in every grade I was in. I want to just say that I have been with most of those people through 1-5th grade. I am in 10th grade now and the past has haunted me for all I can remember. I want to let go, but I can't. I have anxiety and OCD and those conditions don't make a thing better. I am not suicidal and I am overall a happy person, but to be truly happy, I feel as if I have to let go.

    usually when children or classmates tease you

    or bully you is because they have experienced

    it in some form or another. try to let go, it's not worth

    it's not worth going over it , I'm trying to find some kind of reason why

    just look at it. see it for what it is. file it away in your mind.

    . you have a long life ahead of you! soon you will look back and say

    Wow why did I get so upset over that!

    time does heal all wounds. you will always have the scar

    but the hurt will get better and easier with time. just always remember

    do unto others what you would have done to you.

    you are a very sensitive and loving person sometimes people get jealous that

    hold your head up high your shoulders back

    and be proud of who you are.God Does not make mistakes!

    Pretty much the same thing happened to me. I'm in 8th grade now and it still kinda does. In Elementary school i had one friend, out of the whole class. I'm a girl and my only friend was a guy. Then in 3rd grade he moved away and i had nobody to play/hang out with during recess so i ended up sitting alone. In 4th grade I made friends with one person, but that was really it. My friend came back in 5th grade and i didn't know what to do. So the other person got upset. I only had 3 friends, though. Nobody wanted to hang out with me. I was home all the time because I had no one to hang out with. Then in 6th grade nobody at all wanted to sit with me. Then, i started to get teased. People were making fun of me because I didn't talk to anyone. The same thing happened at my house. My brothers are so mean to me. I still to this day get made fun of a lot and get teased for not having a lot of friends. They don't know it, but it really gets to me. So I've been through pretty much the same stuff.

    Forget them, if they haven't changed then trust me you will see karma at it's max in a couple of years when they're in rehab or pumping your gas. Those type of people don't go to far in life. Thinking about the past is useless and does nothing. No matter how good or bad your past is, it is what makes you who you are today so just see it as a bump in the road that you have gone through.

    I went through a similar situation.i kept a grudge against those people, until I realized that in elementary through highschool, kids act dumb. They like to bully either because they r miserable, sthey r lonely, have problems at home, their parents dont want them, r teased badly by an older bro or sis, r jealous of others, etc'.u r better than,those idiots who made ur life hard.achieve ur goals and later on in life prove to them by ur achievements that u r better than them. Dont hold a grudge cuz maybe they forgot about it.u be happy and smile always! :-)

    maybe you have to talk to them and let them formally apologize to you. they have most likely grown up by now and maybe feel worse about the situation that you do. in my experience with bullying, me talking to the bullies after we have grown up a lot really helps me to let it go
