  • I replied to @SpaceFox@lemmy.ml, and you can find my reply here.

    Here’s the things that actually helped me:

    • Teachers/authority figures making me feel heard and valued. (From ECS to Highschool graduation, I had maybe 4 teachers who really went out of their way to help)
    • Fellow students who stood up/spoke up for me (I had a group of boys corner me in the washroom and start berating me and until I broke down and started crying. A boy, who I didn’t even know his name, but was accqainted with came in and stood up to the group. I will never forget what he did.)
    • Friends
    • people going out of their way to make me feel welcome (when it happened I didn’t know why they were being so nice to me.)

    Things I think would have helped:

    • Knowing that it’s okay to need help
    • someone telling me the things happening are not acceptable or normal
