A victim of bullying said he once took sandpaper to his face to try and get rid of his acne after years of abuse.
Liam Hackett shared his experience of growing up as an LGBTQ+ person in St Helens and has recalled years of abuse at the hands of his classmates in a bid to help anyone else going through something similar.
The 31-year-old told the ECHO : “Bullying was a really big part of my life for as long as I can remember to be honest. I always felt like I was different from my peers and I remember even at primary school being bullied quite heavily by my classmates.
