Any bullied victim of their can share your stories and how it affected your life now. You can do it anonymously too.
I'll start by people bullying me for being quite fortunate because i don't live in a first world country where people tend to bully someone who has less but here it's like the opposite. Majority of people here are poor and anyone fortunate are actually shamed seeing them as "selfish, privileged, spoiled or whatever". Example would be we had a potluck at school, there was one pizza slice left. For a long time nobody took it so i took it and ate it. One of my classmate picked a fight on me and told me i'm selfish and gluttonous and he is the smartest kid in our class so of course id take his words. I barely get any excellent grades, i just try to pass. Most of the kids score higher than me in class. Keep shaming me because i keep playing video games even though i don't. Not only that i am bullied at school for that but i suffer at home for having such busy parents who neglect us emotionally. Only believing that good food and other luxury stuff is all we need. "be thankful you have something to eat, others dont" i get that a lot. It's like i'm not giving the rights to have a mental illness or something and overlooking that it is an issue. It got to the point where it broke me and traumatized me into having a hard time accepting blessings, gifts, luck and other things. I just feel like i don't deserves all of it. Maybe my heart was looking for love. Of course growing up, i slowly realize that they were bull shit and i know i'm not dumb. Realizing that I just i'm simply not interested in the school topics and realizing lucky people earned what they work hard for but it left me an emotional scar and subconsciously feel unsafe everytime i receive or earn something good. I just got a raise and i hesitated at first then my boss insisted and i actually broke down just a bit. I told my boss it was a nothing and took the raise thanking him while feeling unsafe.

What truly made me broke down was my coworkers congratulated me instead of picking on me and it was like a relief like something i wanted. Those tears were also a mix of fear
