Sometimes you have to give yourself a little assist to aid in your own rescue. Don't sit around and wait for others to throw you a line and save you because you might end up drowning when you could have helped yourself.

bokal2703 I don't think it is necessary to discuss your past with a current boyfriend or girlfriend. But if you think that past is something that can affect your relationship with him/her, then do so. Besides whatever it is that is behind you, if your partner really...

bokal2703 Well, I guess at the first instance that he/she was bullied, he/she shall seek the attention of his/her class adviser or anyone in authority in the school. It is advisable to inform them so they can talk to the class bully so that such case will not worsen.
