I'm terribly sorry to hear about all the hardship you've been through in your life already. Yet, despite all you've said, you have displayed the attitude needed to achieve wonderful great things in this world because you are indeed getting stronger and hopefully, trying to move forward.

I've heard far too many stories of young men and women being bullied in school, and it breaks my heart. Though it might not do much good now, know that everything done to you was unwarrented, so don't let that thought slip into your head, that "maybe I deserve to be bullied, that maybe I'm not as good as they are" because bullies at their core are among the most insecure of folk and they bully other people mostly for the ego boost and to escape their own troubles. You were just the unfortunate target at the time. If I had but time and world enough, I'd try to stop every bully from attacking and preying on people, but sadly sometimes we must be dealt that cruel hand and learn from it as best we can.

Know that now and even back then, you are a person who should have confidence because you've made it this far despite everything. So many people could have easily thrown in the towel all together, but you've managed to pull through and have come through to the other side. There are still a great many challenges ahead to be sure, as there will be for all, but if you approach everything knowing yourself, believing in your potential and ability, no obstacle can forever stand in your way.

Take care all.
