Bullied in School?

0000

I was sort of bullied when i changed schools when i was 14 (we moved out of my hometown and i had to go to a new school - still primary school because at that time primary school was up to the age of 15). i was very isolated for a couple of years and then i was very intimidated at high school, i was usually unnoticed there because the thing i wanted the least was drawing attention to myself. i think that the fact i was bullied had a tremendous impact on me, i changed a lot - before that i wasn't really a shy kid, i was quite popular and had a few close friends.

I was bullied a lot from kindergarten up to high school. I went to a small private school where all the classmates knew each other, as such I was the kid pretty much everyone picked on for nine straight years. The worst was when people would try to provoke me and this other geeky/weird kid into fighting one another. I once even got a detention for getting in a fight I didn't actually get into. Grade school sucked.

I had a few problems in elementary school but it ended quickly when I became invisible.

Bullying at home is what really messed me up.

No one in my high school gets bullied. I guess my school is really nice.

In elementary school a bully tried to pick on me so i hit him in the face and shoved his head in a snow bank, never tried to bully me again. I guess i was the bully there, but he started it.

I was mainly picked on in middle school because I was one of the quiet/nerdy kids, never physical, just taunting. One kid tried to get physical, but he was probably half my size and tried to shove me while taunting me, I pushed back and never heard a word from him after that. It pretty much stopped in Highschool, probably because I disappeared in the crowd (my Highschool was big).

I was bullied occasionally in middle school, especially by racist comments and innuendos, since I was the only student there with any asian ethnicity.

But like most people in this thread, I was somewhat 'invisible' in high school. Had a few friends, but wasn't really known to the rest of the class.

I was bullied during my early childhood. I don't think it was too bad, at least not as bad as the way my parents handled the situation. (PROTIP: If your kid is being bullied, humiliate him and make him feel guilty about it. That will totally make him stand up for himself!)

After elementary school it became less severe as I began to modify my behavior to fit in. By the time I was in high school I didn't get bullied anymore, not in the least. I had the whole silent loner who you don't mess with thing going on, they bought it. It seems you don't need to be tough, you just have to LOOK tough.

I've always been really passive, so a natural target for bullies. In Elementary school I did get bullied a bit, but mostly I was always alone. The most obvious nerds had it worse. However I always had the constant fear of humiliation lurking around my mind.

In High school, I did something weird... I kinda embraced it and became the classclown, a joker. In the least it made me more extroverted and I had girls interested in me for the first time ever. There was always a very fine line between them laughing with or at me, and I'm afraid the latter is closer to the truth.

However, I don't know what you call it, when you're entering university, "hazing" is the correct term I guess. Well to make a long story short my joker persona backfired disatrously and I've been scarred ever since.

So I can relate.

Even better: being inconsistent in that.
One day my mother made me feel guilty or punished me after other kids treated me bad, the other day she would tell me I'm very special and the others just can't qppreciate it because they're so base and don't see it.
The worst thing is that my mother was more popular among my classmates than I was.

I can't even hate her. It's just her f*cked up personality.
