Childhood Abuse - Tumblr Posts

surviving csa means never playing truth or dare

I was bullied for 7 years by mainly the same kid. I told teachers and got various responses such as "Why don't you try being like other kids, then?" And "Just ignore him."

I ignored him and it kept happening.

I yelled at him one morning and I was the one who got in trouble for "disrupting class"

I shoved him back after he slammed me into my locker and I got detention for "starting fights"

I reported him to the anti-bullying counselor, and we both got called out of class to have a "face-to-face" and talk things out. It got worse after that.

What made him stop was when a girl a year older than him grabbed him, slammed him into the wall, and told him to leave me alone. He never messed with me again.

So, yeah. Scare the shit out of bullies and they'll leave you alone.

My parents: what trauma?

Me: uh-

Your kid won’t listen if you keep putting them into fight-or-flight responses

Felt like I should say this
