Matilda I am a little shocked. Did no teacher question your leaving?

Did nobody notice your struggle?

Did the principal call your mother to ask?

So much sadness and neglect in all of this.

There is another form of bullying, teacher bullying, where their attitude to you, is the cue for the rest of the lass to follow, especially girls. I have seen it happen.

So glad you are now a lawyer, and that you are now empowered to be who you always wanted to be. Lovely to meet you.
