The Yorkshire Vet's Grace Olson has opened up about the cruel bully who made her life a misery for seven years and eventually drove her to attempt to take her own life
Grace Olson, star of The Yorkshire Vet , has bravely opened up about her teenage suicide attempt, revealing that a relentless bully "filled her life with fear".
Despite being popular in school, Grace struggled to win over one particular girl who she had tried hard to impress. Speaking to The Yorkshire Post, Grace revealed: "I was a very sensitive person...I was one of the most popular people in the school and had loads of friends but a girl at school just didn't like me, and I was so soft-natured that I wanted to appease her.
Now 50, Grace confessed that due to her sensitive nature, she found it difficult not to internalise the bully's cruel words. She recalled waking up with a sense of dread each morning, feeling she had no other option but to end her life. Grace courageously opened up about the moment she reached breaking point, sharing: "It was like I snapped. I just walked home and very calmly I swallowed a whole bottle of painkillers and went upstairs to my room to lie down to die.
