It Gets Better (You're Not Alone) by a Straight Guy.wmv

My name is Matthew (MD Bowron) and I was bullied throughout my life, from Primary School (Australian equivalent of Grade and Elementary schools) High School, and Adulthood. From this bullying I obtained such psychological problems such as low self-esteem, paranoia, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, panic attacks and schizophrenia. I have been hospitalised and medicated based on these past experiences. But it is this dark conflict that had nearly driven me to suicide a number of times, has inspired me to become a writer, to try to find a way to make peace between different warring groups, and to post suggestions of how to make peace between warring communities in my posts on Youtube. This is probably my most difficult post, and I'm sorry if some of it isn't very clear. My microphone's junked. I know that for those who have gone through bullying it can be a long road before you think there'll be any improvement. But I guess what I need to say is, you're not alone, it does get better. The self-obsessed idiots who bullied you in order for them to feel confident about themselves will learn to grow up and see the effects of their own actions. You'll find groups where others have been bullied, and find new friends, not just locally, but internationally. Life may sometimes seem not worth living, but life itself is such a miracle that we should at least try to find our peace within this life. I hope that you can see that bullying can have some dreadful effects. But, as we need to learn, you're not alone and it does get better eventually. Yours sincerely, Matt (MD) Bowron
