*Note: Please excuse my Grammar, my English isn't as great*
From the Start of Grade school all up to the 8th Grade I was bullied hard, I was being teased and messed around because I was Asian. I was enrolled in a somewhat ghetto school, when school started I was immediately picked around by the other kids because I was the very few Asians in the school. I'm not sure if it was my grades or my "Good Boy" image but all the Hispanics(If I may) teased me, I was also lead to believe that they were my friends but they just humiliated me in the end.. and no one had my back. Don't get me wrong, I tried fighting back but I can't keep up with all the Verbal/Physical abuse, I got ganged up.
I had only a couple of trust worthy friends so that's what kept me alive til high school. At home, God my father... He Keeps telling me to be a man and stop crying (Around 2nd Grade) due to the excessive bullying, He wasn't very supportive in my cause. Mentally it caused me to have social anxiety and be somewhat of a hikikomori (Which actually made me get into videogames). During High school, it was like a new slate - New School/New Friends, but due to my personality I was usually labeled as "EMO". I Became strictly Nihilistic, Sadistic and Irritated during my school years.
I became emotionless and detached from everybody else. My sister told me all her friends were scared of me due to my straight face and failure to crack a smile. All of high school I Suffered from depression, paranoia, cynical, the utter destruction of trust, and instill burning hatred for anybody who annoys me or even gets me slightly depressed. Most of my years in high school I spent it in DEEP Depression, I was so considering suicide (Due to my Stubbornness and selfishness) , I even had a counselor I met every week to discuss my problems with. The only good thing that came out of it was that I was the most mature out of all my students and retained my gentle manner.
I Totally Agree that "Bullying" Can Change how you become but it can go in a positive or negative way.
All The people who bullied me had this Exact Personality and attitude...
NOTES: Ahhh I really hope all this is readable/understandable , If Not - I'm Really sorry!
