Natashia Lee, formerly Natashia Jackman, recounts her harrowing experience of being stabbed by bullies at school, a trauma that has haunted her for two decades. The psychological scars remain as she grapples with PTSD and the loss of faith in humanity, highlighted by her mother's suicide, which she attributes to the trauma experienced that day. In light of recent school stabbings, Lee is determined to initiate funding programs aimed at increasing safety in schools, hoping to prevent future tragedies and support victims of bullying and violence.
"I lost all faith in humanity. I'd hear a British accent and I would freeze. I do sometimes wonder if my bullies have kids, do they worry about school crimes?"
"The teenager woke on the morning of 10 November 2005 with a sense of dread in her stomach after suffering nightmares about her tormentors who denigrated her..."
"Due to the trauma of her own experience and her parents' horror at the school's inability to protect her from her bullies, Ms Lee relocated to the US to continue her education."
"Natashia Lee hopes that her initiative will provide funding support for schools to improve safety, especially in the wake of recent school stabbings."
