Yeah, per my reply, myself didn't really lose it from the bullying at home until was out and safe from that decade plus of abuse. Losing it only enough to hurl a book at school had only resulted in my being suspended, sent home, away from the only refuge had ever experienced, and told by my mother that they'd suspended me from school for good.

School administration and teachers were no help, despite being sympathetic, until the police finally took my abuse seriously, and the police didn't finally take my abuse seriously (had previously brought me right back home after a runaway attempt) until myself walked into the police station inconsolable, yet finally old enough to be articulate about what was happening to me, after several days of mental and physical torture, during that week of being suspended from school.
