On: Why is homeschooling becoming fashionable?

I’m sorry you went through that.

I hope life has been kinder to you following this. :(

Generally speaking, yeah. Someone else mentioned the system preparing you for life later, and I can see where the bullies made me stronger as well.

I definitely don't condone all that as a way to get stronger, but at least I got something from it. Silver linings and all.

Wish I could say the same. I often wonder how things would turn out if I didn't have the insecurities/other mental handicaps stemming from that period. And fantasize about rewinding time with the current brain and leaving a trail of broken bones in my wake :-D
