Childhood is meant to be ruined. When you are older. Not when you are a child and have a grown up do bad things to you in a closet when your parents are supposed to be protecting you but instead they let you and Uncle Billy play alone in the walk-in closet and they ignore your screams and cries for help and the blood, oh the blood why the blood WHY!!! Yes that would be just wrong.

My uncle abused me as a kid. Flat out, in front of family, abused. Nothing was done. I can elaborate if requested.

Alrighty then. I was opening the door to discussing child abuse, but I guess we'll all just one-up the other on how much we got abused.
I knew people in high school who used to have ill feelings towards a situation. They would go to their friend and say "I am having problems with this," to which the friend starts babbling about how much more of a problem they have had at one point, and never consoles the other.
@kadri43 is that person.

I think you mis-read what he was saying. Rather than trying to one-up you, I think his comment was meant to say that he too was a victim of abuse, thus opening up about discussing child abuse as you had suggested. Perhaps I am wrong, but that's how I read his comment. |

It's probably not as bad as getting abused by your uncle but let's say it anyways.
Being the youngest (I have a brother an 2 older male cousins) I was always the one being abused. Whenever they were pissed off I was their punching bag. Also as I've said before I was bullied in grade 7 and 8 and that included the occasional beating. My broken nose came from an elbow from one of my bullies during a ball hockey game. And my fucked up tailbone came from one of my bullies during a real hockey game. My brother has punched me hard enough to knock out 2 teeth (luckily they were the baby teeth so they grew back later on) and I've recieved several concussions from blows to the head by my brother, cousins, and bullies. Also some of you probably think that I am a very outgoing person due to my activity here but the fact is is that if we met for the first time in person I would probably be one of the shyest people you have ever met. That is because of the loss in confidence I gained from my bullies. I wasn't just abused physically, I was also abused mentally.

I am the exact same way. Moreso in highschool, it changed a tiny bit in University, but yeah. Super shy kid. I am not singling this part out to try to undermine all of the horrible parts of your story, it was just the only part I could really relate to directly - I had psychological warfare bullies (mainly this 3-way friendship where the 3 of us could never get along together so usually any 2 would single out the 3rd), but I never really hardcore physical bullying. There were one or two for sure, and some scuffles, pushing, and what not but nothing broken or bleeding i don't think. That was probably because I was shy and usually flew under the radar. My social circle was limited, and (outside that 3-friends trio I mentioned) much of the bullying there was, I was apart of. Often bullying good guys, who didn't deserve that type of thing. I have since spoken with all of them, and apologized. They said they appreciated it. But in the grand scheme of things, those are still actions I have to live with, and them being okay with it now doesn't make it any better. Kids are dicks. |

See I wanna be a GM in the NHL so that shyness could totally fuck with my plans. It could be something you kinda grow out of. I didn't really think I would grow out of it, but you kinda do over time. Especially once you get older. You get more content with your personal life, and in turn you become far more confident. That, in turn, leads to less shyness. Might not be completely gone, but it will be improved. |
