I was bullied, had no brothers to back me up, folks were divorced when i was 11, was genuinely/poor lots of my childhood, and I never thought of suicide.
Some of us have more internal grit than others. We all have trials. Some of us handle them better than others.
“I was bullied, had no brothers to back me up...”
Shazam!!! Wow! that brings back memories. I didn’t have any brothers to back me up either when being bullied. Then I got clever, and when bullies thought they were going to have fun kicking my butt I informed them that my bigger brother was on his way over to meet me... “and as a matter of fact, when I tell him you were planning to beat me up, he’s gonna beat YOU up!” Then they’d leave. Lol
