It's difficult but there are lessons in there that shouldn't be ignored
I agree, it's not only my protagonist the one I put part of my experiences, my other characters who are also more important for the plot have things about myself, I was surprised when I found out my character Telmo had many things about myself and I didn't notice until I started to analyze him.
Some people don't seem to agree because inmediately they put it like "it's a self-insert, so is Mary/Gary Suee!!!one111!" even though the character has clear differences with the author. I think using real experiences makes the character more relatable and more human than creating too forced things. I will make a little spoiler but I won't mention the character, one of y character suffered in the past from domestic violence, yeah I did too but this will be different level since I know some people who suffered that one in the level of getting punched and such. I also try to use what I see or heard, my uncles are a good source from the times they lived and kids didn't have that many rights like nowadays so most of them were forced to work and other things.

That somewhat seems to be the trend with many writers when they are first starting out, its either a self insert or an idealized version of themselves with almost no flaws. All the characters I make all have some part of me inside them, some more than others. Of course sometimes I do make characters who are not very similar to me but I always ask myself questions why are they this way so I know how to write their character.

Sorry for the late response from me.. since i'm starting this gloomy conversations of you guys.. and i'm really really much appreciate for you guys to share this topic with your bad experience on bullying.. I know its hard to forget or erase bad experiences in our life.. but we have to fight it.. really fight it.. and it started when you started to face again you fear..

In my , experience when i've got that bullying i'm drawing bullying myself as the guy who beat the bullier... PUNCH, KICK, SMASH and KAPOWW things filled out as the action effect on my first action comic.. i know it looked bad (hey at least i'm bad just inside my head).. do the fight to solve the problem (but hey i was so naive when i was kid).. but honestly it was helped me.. help me so much to let this fear out my head (slowly)..

these IMAGE is not my draw in childhood but it seem like i felt when i was bullied..
LET your Imagination fight back on your fear guys... cause Once there is FEAR called BULLY it always there, out there.. and it still exist today.. since we let it exist.. unless we don't made it.. and recreate the BULL as new word called MOOChachos..
