I can't bring myself to tell family members about it or teachers (even though I really should) and I'll try and beat it. But if not, I'm sure I'll get help later on in life, as I can't let it hold me back.
It must have been horrible for you as a kid, and a lot worse than me. I'm sure you'll find yourself a good job somewhere or another - never give up mate, as success is waiting for you around the corner, and just believe in yourself. Suffering with anxiety myself I know it's hard, but try!
I wont clog this thread up with Mr Fozz's life story, but yes, it was awful, and in some ways, I am very lucky to be alive to tell the story...The bullying pretty much stopped one day when this kid spat in my face, I picked up half a brick and went after him, he was very lucky, because if I caught him, he would be severely disabled or dead by now as I did intend cave his face in...
Look, I will leave it at that, if you ever feel like talking about anything, PM me, it can easier talking to a stranger sometimes...thats the way I do things to protect my family...Offer is there mate if you feel like it 😀

Life in a Catholic school when you and your parents are atheists can be interesting, especially when you renounce god and proclaim that you've become a devil-worshipper in a sardonic attempt to challenge the orthodox establishment. As a result, I didn't have to go to masses which were frequent and boring.
Socially, I was somewhere in the middle. I hung-out with the cool-kids and was on the fringe of their social circles although I was never fully integrated largely because I've always been something of an outsider - mostly through choice as I didn't find hanging around the Metrocentre for six hours a day particularly interesting. If I was bored, I simply went off and did my own thing.
I can't say I was really bullied. If people screwed with me I would always seek some sort of retribution. I was good at getting people into trouble
You sly so and so ;-) my sister has been good at that, especially when she wants me to get wrong, still quite manipulative and sly to this day, lol
