Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I was bullied very badly at school, physically and mentally from the ages of 12 - 15. I was often beaten, spat at, kicked, bag being emptied all over the school bus, books ripped, hair pulled, name calling (you get the idea). I'd have to sit in the toilets alone and eat my lunch because i'd get hurt abused if i was seen walking around the school alone at breaktimes.
Unfortunately it HAS created the person i am today in that i still suffer with eating disorders which started while being bullied, i have extremely low self esteem and diagnosed with BDD. I am just a mass of mental health issues. Sadly, even today i am STILL being mentally abused and told i am useless by my step-father AND husband.

I think this is strating to prove that anxiety caued by abuse is way more common than statistics would let on. And Sarah...get outta there...now.
