Oh man, I can throw my two cents into this one for sure. I have been bullied so many times in my life through family, ex-friend's, people at school, and ex-boyfriends. I can't say AT FIRST I dealt with the situation very well, most of my past was struggling between crying and trying to figure out what my purpose in life was. So if your wondering how I managed to get this far I guess I would say make connections.
If people want advice for the bullying situation and are a guest, prowling, or hidden identity, I would say:
What your doing now is a sign of a blessing. You can let your emotions run wild here and I doubt anyone will be a jerk and point at you and laugh because were all here for different, 'anonymous,' reasons, whether it be making friends, having support, or just cruising life, etc. My connections lied with my teachers, English - Teacher's, bless them all. They were my only solace in a world of what felt like hatred. I would also recommend talking to a counselor. Not saying your crazy or anything, but most people think the word counselor is a sin. (I should know my parents always joked about if i had finished, 'fixing myself.') No, most counselors are there to help you in tough times. Some can be a bit eyebrow lifting because they worry too much and think you might step over the line, but I wouldn't worry yourself about that as the other ones really do want to see you grow up feeling healthy in life. Also again, you can always post on here, or any number of support forums designed for helping others through rough situations. You shouldn't feel shy about approaching them, they had their fair share of ups and downs and if your worried about being discovered you can always create another identity. People won't judge you like that on forums, they just want to share, and help the best they can. Etc

Now a days I just ignore these people who are attention-seeking and not worth my time whats-so-ever. They only wish to provoke you so they can see you at a low and they can feel high knowing they were capable of pressing those magical buttons that made you cry, or scream in frustration. I believe in karma so hopefully as mean as it sounds, they will get whats coming on them or a wake up alarm to tell them they need to get over being an XXX, hopefully. I also have took steps to break the bonds of friendship I have with people I know who support the bully over me. In my opinion why be friends with someone, who only treats you just as bad. But yeah, that's just me.
