A narrative that was used against me and other students as a bludgeon. Ignoring the embarassing clear backpacks, wandings and searches in elementary school (I was 9), kids would avoid me for being weird, saying I was at risk of shooting the place up.https://twitter.com/diannaeanderson/status/974392254151278592 …

Later, even adults and staff got in on the act. They'd drag me and other "potential problems" aside and badger us about our home lives. Eventually someone broke into my middle school locker and stole a bunch of my stuff, including a journal where I said I disliked a teacher.(cont

That journal got me out of school suspension for a month and they refused to find out who did it and return my stolen cards. That also led to me being kicked out of my mom's house at 14 and sent to live with my father. Over a journal, because I was bullied often and was quiet.

This went on my record as a stain and led to pretty much constant side-eye from anyone who saw it.

Hey, welcome to my world. When I was in 8th grade I made a list of students who had relentlessly bullied me, who I wished would just die and disappear. What did the school do? Inform them, of course, so they could bully me even more viciously, now with what they felt was validity

The Williamsville, NY school district, Mill Middle School in particular, was staffed by unsympathetic pieces of shit who themselves were bullies and did nothing but to enable my constant day-to-day misery. I hope they all burn in hell.

"Just ignore it", says the school administrator who clearly has never been bullied before, because had they been, they would realize that just ignoring it doesn't make them stop. They change tactics, find other angles, until they find the button to press that *does* break you.

Then they push that button, they push it over and over again, as often and as hard as they can, in order to try to get you even more ostracized than you already are. Because psychopaths and sociopaths don't magically become so in adulthood. But it's uncomfortable to admit that.

And to tie it back into the original premise: it's equally uncomfortable to admit that WE'RE not the people who go and shoot up schools. We're the people who go home and quietly hang ourselves, or shoot ourselves with our parents' guns, in sorrow and hopelessness.

In my case, I gave up and stopped trying. Slept in every class, ignored homework and tests and classwork, sabotaged my adult life by being so deep in depression and ennui with nobody willing to help pull me out.
