A ‘proud’ gamer has caught social media’s attention after sharing how playing video games saved his life. The 36-year-old man revealed that he was bullied as a child in school, and video games helped him find peace and manage his anger, which otherwise would have found some destructive outlet. The gamer said he was introduced to the world of gaming by his elder brother and uncles, who would bring consoles like Sega Genesis, PlayStation 1, and Xbox.
“They successfully managed to kick me out of school in my 9th grade cause I did not do well in the finals of 9th grade. I also repeated 7th grade. My mother was against this call from my father. Dad wanted me to repeat 7th grade as a punishment. The real troubles started in the eighth and ninth grades when a classmate, who had failed his eighth grade, started to bully him every day at school. “He turned out to be a nightmare in my life. I used to get bullied in school by him on a daily basis. Physical and mental abuse. It went on till the 9th grade. And of course, my parents did not raise their voices for me.
But the most recommended decision was to change my school,” the man said. When I told them, this person is constantly disturbing me. they did not do anything about it,” he said.
