Tintin my friend .. I suspect that there are many on this thread who have experienced unwarranted bullying and mistreatment from peers in their youth. But allow me to tell you what you will undoubtedly one day discover. You will look back on them and realize that they have remained stagnant and have been stunted in their growth. And you will thank God with all your heart that you are not one of them. And yes good friend .. I too speak from personal experience. I would much rather have one good friend of Godly character like yourself than I would one-thousand others whose comfort is found in the things this fallen world has to offer. This time of pain in your life will come to pass. And those partly responsible will one day wish that they could be half the person that these trials and tribulations have shaped you to be. Your bitterness will turn to pity for them ... and your anguish will turn to prayer. And your soul will rejoice that He Who is faithful and trustworthy has completed His good work in you .. both for His name's sake and for the building up of your faith. Let not your heart be troubled .. neither let it be afraid. You believe in God .. believe also in Me (Jesus). The genuine fondness expressed for you throughout this forum is a testament to your standing in Christ .. and is a testament that you are cherished by those whom God would have for you. Be of good cheer. God's crown of glory awaits for the likes of you 
Everyone, thank you for your prayers and encouraging words. I love you all! I was mad at God, at my life, at myself - at everything before the shitake mushrooms hit the fan. Now, I just want to be close to Him and to my family and friends. Nothing else matters. Not books, not LOST - nothing!
