It does
I got verbally abused (but rarely physically abused) every day for about ten years. It's only quite recently - ten years after I fucking left! - that I've started to get over some of the problems it caused me, and even now I'm quite difficult to get on with. I'd honestly rather live on the streets in a cardboard box full of sick than go back to school with those cunts.

Same here but luckily I got over it.
The desire to go 'back' and inflict pain on them has passed as well. The best revenge really is being happy with yourself.

I can't blame kids for being kids
even if they all were an incredibly pendulous, syphilitic set of scrotes. I blame the teachers, one teacher in particular, for turning a blind eye, and for telling me (essentially) to MTFU when I came to her in tears and covered in bruises when one of their 'circle berk and call her names' games got a little rough. Her I'd quite cheerfully set fire to, the evil harpy.

yes, grown-ups I do blame.
Like the mothers who said "Do you think, as an only child, Roota might be a bit too used to getting her own way?" when my mother objected to her child and her croneys putting me in a circle and booting the little legs off me.
