She did absolutely nothing to deserve bullying. She was just a vulnerable person that could not fight back against her tormentors.

Yep, I was the smallest boy and shy. That’s all it took for the predators. I finally quit in the 10th grade. Walking to school one day, I just couldn’t go there another day so I hung out in the woods. A few months later, they expelled me for not showing up. That’s when my parents found out. Parents got me into vo-tech where I redid 10th grade but things were no better because most of those kids got kicked out of their regular high school, some for bullying. I quit in the 11th grade and got a job at 17 1/2. There were still a—holes but no physical abuse because their livelihood would have been jeopardized.
