Message From Someone Who Has Been There

Advice from someone who experienced bullying as a teen.

There are a few things that I felt kept me from ever doing anything that would prevent me from doing what I'm doing today, which is attending University, pursuing a career in Youth/Factual programming.

This would include:

Don't do anything illegal or look into any illegal/harmful
By this, I realised that drugs or crime would've left me with a record, delaying education, and possibly never getting the chance to go to University or any post-secondary school. I refrained myself from many parts of the social aspects of school because of the high amounts of racial intolerance and gang conformity in two schools.

Realise that someday I will turn 18 & realise that high school is just four years.
High school was more or so very isolating, due to the high amounts of racial intolerance and gang confirmity.

The internet is a mixed-reaction, but still very unfortunate way to deal with being abused.
I admit to using the internet to deal being emotionally abused by former legal guaridans, family, as well as teachers in school because I felt nobody else cared enough to do anything. While it is very sad to see kids, myself included look to the internet to seek comfort for abuse, it's likely to continue and could only stop if acton was taken and if counselours were easier to trust, rather than being the "next person who will say they'll listen, but won't.

Committing to Post-Secondary Education.
This is what I'm doing today and I realise that if I ever did anything like follow into crime, trouble, sex/drugs, or do something harmful (suicide, addiction, self-harmonisation) would have prevented me from pursing education and a career.
