Was it my fault?

I was not the brightest kid out there and school was a though place for me growing up since i always fall behind academically. Everyone made sure to let me know how stupid i was, students and teachers. The other kids would laugh at me when i can't answer a question at school and the teacher would get mad and would sometimes yell at me when i'm not performing well at the subjects. It also helps that i can't fight back or told anyone.


3rd grade was the worst for me. I had a very abusive teacher who would openly made fun of me in front of the whole class and he also phisically punish me by hitting me with a book. I had a hard time making friends that year because my classmates thought i was freak. When i was 11 i was sexually harrassed by an older man. A family friend who i thaught i could trust and i could still feel his hands touching me to this day.


Middle school is when things started to really fall apart for me. I barely have any friends, i was always bullied, and people were only nice to me when they want something from me. It really sucked.


I'm in college right now but i still thought of these memories alot and wondering, is this meant to happend to me and was it my fault?

I should have been stronger, i should have say no, i should have been smarter, all of this is my fault for being a stupid kid. I blame myself for all the horrible things people do to me because i'm too weak to fight back. This is all my fault and i deserve it. I just wish i could be stronger for myself. I always feel the need to apologize to myself but i can't accept my own apology because deep down i feel like i deserve all the horrible things i got.

Hi Oliv,

I hope this message finds you well. I am so so sorry that these things happened to you growing up and I want you to know that these things ABSOLUTELY are not your fault. You were a child and you had no control over what happened to you. No child deserves what happened to you and these things do not define you. You are an amazing person who is worthy of love and a great life and I don't want you to let these things make you who you are. You are strong and beautiful and amazing. We are always here for you. <3
