I suffered 13 years of bullying at school.

Nothing is 'going on'. There is no grand conspiracy surrounding you. Teenagers are not disciplined enough to pull something like that off. Very few people are at any age.

Almost everyone you will ever meet, will spend most of their time thinking about themselves, not you.

Most people make what they say up as they go. What you have encountered is a few coincidences and spontaneous acts of peer group pressure, nothing more.

The most important thing to remember is THEY WILL FORGET ABOUT YOU, THE MOMENT YOU ARE OUT OF SITE. They will move on to another target if the opportunity arises, or not. It only random fun to them. If you meet them 10 years from now they will probably not remember why they treated you badly. It was NOT important to them, it was just a moment of childish superficial stupidity. They have NO INTENTION of causing you lasting harm. They don't know you well enough.

The pain you are feeling now is your OWN. It was caused by them, but its energy source is you. Only you can deal with it.

Try to remember it was not important to them, so it should not be important to you.

I always found that if you knocked a bully on their ass, they never fucked with you again. I suppose the reason I never had a problem with bullies growing up was because my father would beat me. So when you have an adult that outweighs you by 100+ pounds beating you like you are an adult, someone your age really cannot harm you. Even my father was a bully, because when I was a teen I got tired of his abuse and told myself if he came at me one more time I was going to put him in his place. I knocked him on his ass with some sort of stick and held a gun on him, telling him if he ever tried to touch me again I was going to blow his head off. After that he still would yell and scream at me, he would threaten me, but he never again touched me. Guess my "father" was just another bully and coward.
