This is a difficult story to tell but I feel it may help another person in my class with a similar situation.
During my Sophomore year I was bullied and verbally abused and tortured by a group of small-minded nitwits who called themselves The Brads. They are personally responsible for making my Mind Heart and Soul miserable and agonizing that year and the rest of my years there with repeatedly calling me names and making sounds of snakes, pigs and whatever stupidity they came up with.
I was very naive and unprepared for this type of repeated onslaught everyday at school.
I am responsible for the evening I was drinking beer one evening after a football game when I was a pompom girl of which I enjoyed the companionship of the girls but I had an alcoholic blackout and when I came to I was being sexually assaulted and yelled at the boy Dan Bohan to get off me and he didn’t do so right away til apparently HE was done with me.
Ashamed and guilty and at a loss to lose my virginity to this blockhead. I left crying and hurting terribly over this event.
So the very next day at school I was called Snake Sizzler and whatever those bozos came up with although I tried to stop it it just encouraged them to keep at it for all day.
Needless to say, I went crazy about it and I didn’t feel like exposing my problems to the office since after all no one forced beer down my throat that evening.
I have had miserable and unbearable years living with that bullying episode but Praise God I am a Christian and a member of AA and I will individually confront the individuals responsible for this and By God I am already Free of Their Bondage and Evil Misdeeds because I forgive them but they will need to hear in Public what They the Stupidest Group of Piss Ants did to ME.
Thank you to All who have known this incident and wholeheartedly supported me. May The Heavens Bless Us All to have compassion empathy understanding and forgiveness to All.
