Internet addiction for me since young as well. I had online friends who used 4chan but didn't want to go on it myself, so from having always explored anywhere and everywhere online, several years ago I ventured into altboards. I did start going on one board on 4chan too but only on that one.

Being into niche music or interest subcultures (or anime), especially in the 00's with budding Web 2.0… you either ended up on a bbcode forum or the newfangled image board 4chan. 4chan provided anonymity that many take for granted these days. It's been really cool to see communities like CC sprout up now that imageboards have pretty much become their own subculture, even if it had to happen a long time after I was a teenager.

>bullying throughout all the different schools i've changed. i went to a total of 5 different onesYeah, switching schools doesn't help with getting away from bullying. I tried that twice, even changed to a school in a different country, and still eventually ended up getting bullied at every new school I would switch to as well. Bullies are universal. The only thing that can help deter them is standing up for yourself verbally, or as a last resort - physically.
Anonymous 249507
>>249506i stood up a lot, both verbally and physically, in elementary but it didn't work and only gave the bullies more power to humiliate me "since i can't control myself and my actions" so i gave up
Anonymous 249508
>>249507Kids are just assholes so, if the school won't do anything either, you'll just have to tough it out in that case until it is over. I did and bullies eventually grew sick of picking on me, moving onto someone else. For some reason or another, it didn't happen at all anymore by the time I started high school. Then college - bullying tends to be almost nonexistant during this period. At least not by random people you are not even close to and don't even know by name, like I was in middle school.
People say bullying happens in the workplace too, but then I think a huge advantage of work over school is that people have more freedom to choose where they work than where they go to school. Also more rights - like sueing for harrassment. If you're not full-time working age or in college yet, you should at least hold out until then.
