I was bullied all through primary and high school and excluded just for being a little bit different. I can't even say I had one consistent friend over all those years as people came and went, or should I say, moved me along when they got sick of me. People need to be kinder to each other. You just never know what people are going through in silence, because they're trying to not draw any more attention to themselves (especially if that attention comes in the form of further ridicule). High-school might be long over but some emotional scars don't quite heal.
A moving animation of how some of that feels.
