yes it was sad, and i was in the point of crying as well. It's sad but true this kind of thing do happen in real life.
I'am dutch and have not been there for many years, but this dutch movie was good !

I was bullied in every school until I was 16. I was bullied primarily because my parents made me wear traditional (Pakistani) clothes at school. Even when playing outside or just going somewhere, children I didn't even know would yell terrible words at me. That was my life growing in het Netherlands. My family never really took it seriously. Neither did school.
I'm 37 now, and still this movie made me cry. I cried not only for the victim in the movie, but because of my own experiences too. I cried for both of us and every other innocent victim of bullies.
Even adults still bully others. Sometimes I'm bullied even at work by other adults. So it's not just children who do this. Many adults are horrible people too, they don't teach their children to leave others alone. In some cases the adults are at least as horrible as their bullying children. When schools also refuse to do something about it, you're helpless.
Some years ago my son was being bullied and beaten at school, primary school. Whenever I asked the teacher to do something about the bullying boys and girls, they just talked (sometimes) and of course the children said they wouldn't do it again or they denied, only to continue bullying after those 'talks'. My son cried himself to sleep for months. He became quite sad. There was nothing I could do, I wasn't even allowed to change schools.
Luckily all that is over now. But it still makes me cry, all that.

I am very sorry for your experience. I can empathize because I also experienced similar transgressions. Sometimes I am angry at myself for not using my experiences as a motivator to better myself, and as I am a grown adult now, I am still the same loser I was labeled as those decades ago. Meanwhile, some of those bullies have made a status for themselves, becoming successful doctors and surgeons, lawyers, finance people, etc...I am just angry at myself for being so jealous when I haven't done anything with my life and the people that hurt me every day have, without any repercussions.
shareI understand your feelings, but look at it this way; would you want to be like nasty horrible people? Instead of being jealous, think about what YOU want and try to achieve that.
Remember, the best revenge is being happy. And maybe you think you achieved nothing, but perhaps you've done more than you realise. Overcoming horrible things happening to you and surviving all that is already an achievement, perhaps raising children and doing something decent with a talent you have, even as a hobby. (music? writing? painting? anything) Maybe you're a great friend and that is more important than having status.
I'm not saying all succesful people are bad of course. There are non-bullies who have been succesful and you can look at them for inspiration. I hope you don't mind my saying all this, not judging you nor want to offend you. In case I did offend, I apologise.
(and I am speaking from experience; my career was destroyed because of bullies, still I wouldn't want to be like the nasty bullies, I usually don't even think about them, instead I realised that nobody can take away what I love most: writing and reading, I'm even close to publishing some decent fiction, even if it wouldn't sell I'm still doing something I always loved and am happy with that)
