How do you get over past bullying?

I've was bullied in high school to a point where I would eat my lunch in the girls bathroom stalls because I knew anyone wouldnt bother me in a locked stall. When I would take an test the football player that sat directly behind me would start jabbing me with there fingers into my back and chuckle quitely at me and they did this purposely during test because they wanted to distract me from my test also they knew I couldn't say to them please stop pocking into MY back because if I did the teacher would possible fail me he was absolutely strict about people talking during the tests he would say " don't even ask to borrow an eraser from the person sitting next to you". Also in another class(art) I was cutting out things in a magazine for a assignment that was due when a guy with a torn up edge magazine page comes up to the table I'm sitting at and says "will you go to prom with me?" And he's staring at me also his pack of friends from across the room where watching this happen to me before he even got up out of his own chair. I was so embarrassed this was happening to me that I literally couldn't talk and the guy that was asking the question started to look angry at me because I wasn't answering him that's when I started to shake after an embarrassing WHILE I managed to spit out "please leave me alone" because he wasn't leaving in till I gave him a reply but before he left he put a token on the table for me the torn up magazine page and on it was a flower just to add to my embarrassment all through the period it was there on my table mocking me, laughing at me. After a while my legs where only shaking. People literally make horror films about this (like Carrie). Many things happend but Ill stop for your convenience. Anyways how do I get past this? It's been two year now and I just can't forget what happened to me during high school. I just wish these certain things didn't transpire but they did and that unfortunately is my reality.
