Advice from Annie Lane.
You have run several letters about bullying, and I have to add something to this topic. Bullying by teachers in school had a profound negative effect on me.
The parents supported the teachers and did not have our backs. Needless to say, this experience ruined my love of learning and made me feel helpless. I frequently thought about running away. Although I am now happily married and have wonderful kids, my life would have been easier if I had had supportive parents and was not bullied as a child. I always resented my parents for allowing this, but they were bullies as well and believed in physical punishment.
My sister is my best and closest friend in the whole universe. That being said, my sister has some mental health issues that are taxing on me.
