Almost 4am and cant sleep

Do traumatic events from your past still keep you up at night? I wish my husband would hold me and rub my back until i go back to sleep but hes sleeping peacefully and i have to get ready for work in an hour anyways so might as well kill time until then

When I was 13 a much, much older kid hit me in the face from the side. Had a ring on his finger and it cut my cheek open and I went crashing down to the ground and got knocked out. So I stood up with blood pouring out of my nose, mouth, cheek and nobody did anything. Everybody just stood around, even teachers. I remember my jumper, my green jumper just covered in blood and having to walk to the office all on my own. I dream and wake up to that one a lot.

@Allelse im sorry that happens. I have no idea why teachers dont do anything about bullying. Kids have passed away due to it. It makes them mentally ill. Its the world we live in i guess and its brutal. Sorry you had to experience that and your elders let you down

@DarkSideoftheMoon Teachers never gave a shit, oh sure they had their 0 policy on bullying and violence!!! But it was rubbish, blood and snot all over the place. There was always some poor sod going off to the sick bay bleeding out of his face. Worst I saw was a guy who was headbutted and down he went. CRACK!!! Goes his skull on the concrete and while blood pour out of his head he started having a seizure. The ambulance came for him.

@DarkSideoftheMoon Oh yeah!!! I once saw a teacher slam one of the students against a bunch of lockers. And we had this one kid who would just go off!!! And they'd just tease and torment the shit out of him!!! And nothing was ever done about it!!!
