I suffered from bullying my entire life. I was constantly arguing with my family and I was bullied in every school I went to. I was heavy-set, I had glasses, braces, bad skin, greasy hair, shopped at Walmart & thrift stores because that's all we could afford, that sort of thing. By my senior year, I had three super-close friends I talked to. So when I graduated I didn't even entertain the possibility of remaining in New Hampshire and I set out for Connecticut. I was (and still am, as far as I know!) the only student from my district at this college and I couldn't be happier with my life. I made more life-long friends in three years of college than I did in 12 years of public education. It might take time, but you'll find a support system. You'll make it.
