Not bullying but constant comments on it . Unsuitable topic of homework . Getting into trouble . Teachers give no support . Sexuality . I don ' t know I hang out with a lot of people but I still feel alone . They don ' t do anything if you getting bullied . I don ' t talk about my mental health as I feel I can ' t trust anyone ...
