Since I spouted off my life story above, I'll answer this from my perspective:

There were plenty of things that led to me coming close to doing it. Family issues were a big one. The bullying was probably the single biggest factor though. It limited my ability to make friends, made going to school on a daily basis feel like I was walking into a prison, and stripped me of 98% of my self confidence. Now that I'm an adult, I honestly don't care what other people think of me. Back when I was a kid, it was one of the only things I thought about.
