Unfortunately yes; I was taped to a tree in elementary school for what felt like an eternity until one of the teachers found me.

I'm so sorry that happened to you, must have been so awful. Hope you managed to get through school ok after that and had support.

Thanks, I didn't have support (neither at home nor at school) and bullying was a regular occurrence for me. Took me a long time to become a social person as an adult...

I'm glad you managed to grow into being a social person. Fwiw you sound pretty badass to me getting through all that shit.

Thanks. I wouldn't consider myself fully equipped when it comes to social skills (can't read body language at all), but I at least do socialise and know how to function around other people that I could pass for a normal person. Took me years of intentional training to bring myself to the point of actually talking to people without subconsciously assuming things about them (either malice or apathy).

Like duct tape? How much tape does it take to hold a kid up?

Asking for a friend...

They took an entire roll, the tree wasn't a particularly big tree.
