Hey, sorry to hear about the bullies, I don't understand why everyone tolerates the tragically broken school systems we have (I'm in the U.S., and my experience with school wasn't great either. Nobody cares here either.) I can't give much in terms of life advice, but maybe you'll find this video from Strange Parts interesting, a YouTuber who almost lost everything due to a head injury and got terrible advice from well-meaning medical professionals. I have No idea if this could possibly be useful, but I hate the idea that someone might be able to recover still but never gets the right help. [VIDEO] There's so many different kinds of head injuries, though, and I'm sure they are all very different. But, I still wish you best of luck in recovery.

Sorry to hear about your attack. It reminded me of Cory from Strangeparts, he had a concussion and seems to be handling it quite well, even recovering: [VIDEO] . Hope it can help you somehow. Hope you best of luck with whatever you decide to pursue.
