Trying to move on

Laura

Throughout high school I really struggled with bullying. Having friends then losing friends and not knowing why. Having mean rumours spread about me and all the embarrassing things that come with that.

I’ve left school and now am happy at my college. But the thing is I lie awake just thinking about it all. Reflecting on how I could’ve done something differently.

part of me is scared I’ll never be able to move on from the bullying. Part of me thinks what if this is all I’ll think about forever?

if anyone has had a similar experience and can give some well needed advice I’d really appreciate it.

  • Hi Lauren,

    im so sorry that you experienced bullying at school, that must have been such a difficult experience and it’s so wonderful that you are having a much better time of it at college. 
    It’s the bullies that are intrinsically damaged - that’s why they bully. You were just unlucky enough to have stumbled across those dysfunctional and damaged people, and to have become the focus of their horrible behaviour. 
    But they are gone now - thank goodness. So it’s time for you to recognise that they are now just memories from your past - and you can ‘let them go’. 
    Things have changed for you so please don’t let the past and those toxic bullies ruin the present. The past has gone - wave it goodbye and enjoy the present. Live in the moment - this moment. Let the past go. Be at peace with it, accept that it was challenging, but now that period of your life is OVER, it has GONE. 
    I’m so happy for you that life is now better for you :)
