I am 20 years old and at university. I had a really tough time in high school. I was excluded by a group of popular girls. They would tease me, embarrass me, and humiliate me. I felt horrible. It actually went on for a couple of years. I became quieter and quieter. Finally, I was referred for anxiety to counselling.

Throughout the years I didn’t tell anyone about the bullying. I thought that I was the problem. I almost didn’t go to university because I hated school so much. The good news is that I am much better. Bev has me on a desensitization program and it is working! If any of you are having an experience of being bullied, go to the school counsellor or your parents. You are not the problem. They are. People want to help.
