"Fear adults will do nothing: Kids may be skeptical that adults can, or will, take steps to stop a bully."

My parents knew I was being bullied both emotionally and physically in junior high because I came home crying most days. My dad never seemed to care about my existence. My mother got angry at me. I got the "ignore it and they will stop" line, but when I still got bullied, my mother seemed to think my distress was a passive-aggressive criticism of her. (Probably because she knew the bullying was largely her fault because she moved me to a school where I wasn't safe.)

My teachers knew I was being bullied because they saw it happen. It was standard operating procedure for them.

Hiding didn't work for me. After two years, my parents took me out of the public school system. They didn't want to discuss what had happened. They said, "That's the past. Forget about it now." And this is one reason I have never been close to my parents, and one reason why I have a permanently bitter heart.
