Anyone can have a mental disorder or problem, but what we see on the face is very deceiving, so when someone opens up, please don’t push them away, saying they’re lying and pretending for attention. Going forward, as a child survivor of school bullying, I must say bullying doesn’t just come from classmates and co-workers; it can also come from the teacher; after I had my anxiety attack, It was traced back to how I was treated in class. Therefore, my main goal or plan for the future is to promote child-friendly education without gender identity discrimination.
