Bullying Or Helping Into Recovery?

If those who have mental illnesses are made fun of and bullied instead of given loving guidance for them to seek help then those with the mental illness may, and I said " may", hurt themselves or others. I asked for help for a problem with drugs when attending college and discovered that I had been born with several mental illnesses. Almost all of my childhood I had been bullied for I was "different" than the other children and I often wished I would die. Plus, I'm not trying to scare anyone here, but I've known how to make a bomb since I was twelve years old and today am pleased that I'm naturally docile. Not everyone with a mental illness is docile if bullied. Of those with mental illnesses in society, as is now known of grade school children, if preturbed enough are more likely to act out and hurt themselves if not others. What I suggest to anyone who knows someone who appears to be struggling with a potential mental illness and doesn't appear violent is to suggest to them in a kind, gentle way that there are people who,"...know a lot about ways for them to get to feeling better."  And, if they appear to want that type of help then do some research and get the telephone number of a mental health clinic and call them to arrange an interview with a doctor for the individual. You may not just save the person's mental health, but a life/lives as well!
