Book excerpt: The first time I realised I was actually being bullied was when I was in secondary school and, back then, the bullying stemmed more from rivalry than anything else.

A tapestry of her struggle on how she was treated from a young age well into her adulthood, it documents how abuse impacted her mind, dismantled her emotional state to the point of driving her into subsequent downturns and potential depression.
