I let people walk all over me throughout my existence

Ever since I was adopted that family was very abusive and carried into middle school and highschool. I got bullied so bad I never graduated , people would bully me for everything and anything . I had a girl send me a message saying she missed being friends but I grew angry because she sat next to me and never said anything when people would bother me . I never wrote her back. I want to make myself stronger in every way so this cycle doesn’t carry on . I won’t allow myself to be bullied anymore or laughed at.. it’s hard learning everything to make yourself not vulnerable.. any advice?

Try going into the self-development section of a bookshop and getting anything on the topic of boundaries.
Or you could scan online for titles by John Bradshaw - a reasonably good starting point.
It's a long journey but you can succeed.
