I'm trying to find a word for a summary about bullying, and speaking up . Since I know how it feels, what should I use instead of "From my Knowledge"

According to the article ”Stomp out bullying!” by Jennifer Dignan they state,

Some students don't report bullying because the dont want to be labeled a “tattler”...Talking from my knowledge...

  • You can use quotations (> before a paragraph) to separate the text to be considered from the background for the question. Also, save the elaboration for the question body, keeping the title short and searchable. – niamulbengali Jan 11 '21 at 18:05

    Please be warned that from my knowledge to mean as far as I know is *ɴᴏᴛ* a native-speaker collocation in English. It sounds quite strange to us; we would no more say or write it in almost any circumstance conceivable than we would the even more alien (as) per my knowledge collocation that certain subcontinental learners of English from incorrectly seem mysteriously drawn to using. Please see also 1, 2, 3. – tchrist Jan 11 '21 at 19:50
  • @tchrist Can you explain? We use "AFAIK" as shorthand for this phrase in text messages often. – Steve Nov 08 '21 at 19:16

    @Steve It's "From my knowledge" that native speakers do not use. – tchrist Nov 09 '21 at 00:41

'Based on my personal experience' yields both an in-depth air while keeping a humble tone.

A few suggestions I have are: "From my experience" or "In my experience..." If the summary is informal, you can say something along the lines of 'trust me, I'd know.' or 'from past experiences/events.' However, if this is a summary, I don't think you should be putting your opinions in at all. But I don't know what context you're writing in, so never mind.
