I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving, though I completely understand why Dom.
I'm a victim of bullying myself, so I really do understand where you're coming from.
With girls it's, in some ways, more vicious, in others not so much. With boys, physical size comes into play. That can go both ways. Girls, however, tend to attack on a social and psychological level. I'm not sure that I've really overcome that, but it's made me who I am, and I'm not sure that I could have faced the issues that confronted me in the "real world" if I hadn't lived through that torment.
I interact on message boards all over. I'm always amazed at the simplest comments, or opinions, that bring out the worst in people. I read responses that I recoil at, and think, "there's no fucking way you'd look someone in the eye and say that." No human could read body language from another and beat them down like that, even without a threat of backlash. It's sickening.
Anyway Dom, trust me, you're smart enough, and able enough to fight through whatever life throws at you. You have a promising life ahead of you. Make the most of it, no matter what monsters you face.
People who think cyberbullying is actually serious.
