Abstract: For some, school time means new friends, guitar, football and first love. For some, it’s a time of grandiose plans for the future. But for me, school became a springboard into adulthood with a very hard landing. I was the one who was bullied as a “fatbass.” I was the one who couldn’t help but be hurt by a cruel joke. I was the “ a freak”, whom girls don’t like. And then I realized - it’s either you or you. I understood - and changed my life dramatically. So that one day I could meet my “ex” and play the old game with them, but by my own rules. p>
