@Ayodelebiodun said:

"Emancipation from the mental hold fear has on you is the first step to becoming free from bullies. In most cases, they’re neither stranger nor more baadass; they’ve just managed to conquer you. Don’t ever give in to bullying, especially when they don’t have weapons."

@its_antigha said:

"At this point I think it would be safe for relevant authorities to order a total comprehensive audit of what happens in this school. Trauma like this gets passed on and most times the Victims never really heal. The school authority definitely have a lot of questions to answer.."
