Let's Talk - Bullying - a podcast by Isa Turp Vlog

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Autism and  obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), I've struggled through a lot of bullying. ever since i’ve been diagnosed with these disorders, my life has been hard. I used to get lots of looks and people talking behind my back asking what is wrong with me. Even the director did not understand what I was going through and wanted me out of that school, because they all thought I was a monster.
Every day a lot of bullying happens in school, online, at home, anywhere all the time. Personally I do not understand the concept of bullying, my question is why?   
 My whole life I've been bullied at school, from the school, online, by my “friends'', on the streets and more.. Bullying can damage a person a lot in many different ways; depression, anxiety, suicid, insecurity, hurting themself and way more. I don’t understand the fun, the entertainment and the achievement in bullying someone and why, you just really want to make someone so insecure and damaged inside just for your entertainment of bringing someone down and changing in a bad way?.
As à kid who’s been bullied their whole entire life I can tell you how hard it is to find and make friends, especially with these disorders. I used to trought à lot of fits, scream, make noise, run everywhere, have trouble concentrating on school work and I couldn't control myself. I used to do these visits with this lady named Anne, she comes from valorise, she helped me figure out what I was suffering with. Till this day i don’t remember most of these fits i made, which were bad. Throughout my life I've learned how to control some of these scenarios.
Because of my differences from other people, I really struggled to make friends. I even made a speech explaining my disorders and my struggles in friendship. I did find à way to make friends at my first school and i liked it there, until i heard how my director couldn't understand what i was going through and thought it was a joke, then one day he finally understood what me and my family were going through and got the school à educator for kids with autism. à couple years later they couldn't stand me anymore and the educator was going to work at another school and that they really didn’t want me there anymore, so i changed school.
When i changed school, in 5th grade, i was constantly bullied and nobody wanted to be friends with me. 2 years later this one girl who used to hate me and bully me finally understood what I was going through and we started to be friends. Till this day we are still best friends.
Ever since I learned how to control this thing I have and be so independent, intelligent and determined, I finally started to make friends. Even though I still dont make à lot of friends it is perfectly ok with having 1, 3 or 5 friends who understand, some didn’t even know I had tho disorders, how much i've gained strength and control of myself. 
In 7th grade i was told by my best friend's best friend, that if someone killed me no one would care, and i broke, usually when i get bullied i feel so insecure and bad for them that if i would tell them how i feel it would hurt them more, i would just try to forget that they even bullied me. Until this happened, a lot of times I've gotten bullied, it hit me differently, more emotionally and all went to my head. At this time I only had that one friend and always told her about this but never wanted to tell the teachers and she helped me get the courage to tell the teachers about this.
After telling the teachers what I've been going through, we had a whole day to talk about how bullying is bad and the outcomes of a lot of people to bullying and the different signs of depression, anxiety, suicid, who to talk to and the 4 actions.
In summary, I think bullying is a bad habit and an action that is useless, unreasonable and awful....
