well, my story so far

To start it off when i was in Primary School, around primary 4.I used to play with a girl i was friends with, but ALOT of people did not like her because she was 'fat'. I still was her friend but then i went through 2 years of constant taunts, being called very rude things which at the time i did not understand,

After that 2 years in Primary 6, my friend moved so the taunts ended, I had a good year, i done alot of work in Maths and English but got into one fight (That i lost) and that would later come back as a way to make fun of me.

In Primary 7, I condisered myself to be funny and i enjoyed telling jokes. I didn't really enjoy that year, in my primary we played British Bull Dog. and they always made be go 'het' because none of them wanted to, but then i had enough and they started making fun of me and calling me names and if i showed any sign of emotion it would be "Oh c'mon, gives a little cry baby."

I also keep pet chipmunks and somone made up a rumour saying i "had sex with my chipmunks"
and people at my age being gulible beleived it, so i was taunted and asked about that all year, (btw i dont), after that few months i became very self concious of the way i walked,stood and how i walked down the school steps because i thought if i made ONE mistake i would be made fun off,
right off to maths class, i was in the top maths class in first year, but i was good in maths at primary and i found highschool very difficult, so instead of being good at maths my work slowly decreased and my maths teacher knew and did not want to help and then i was known as the 'idiot' of the maths class (i still stayed in it), but now i am very self concious of how i do anything, i just dont want to get made fun off again. it was the most horrible thing of my life, due to the self concious i found it hard to make 'true friends' and through out that whole year theres not anyone i would call a 'true friend'.

Well thats my story, its not the worse on the site.

Could all this lead to me being depressed in the near future? and how could i avoid it all after summer vacation?

Hi Britishguy, I wanted to know how old you are now, and if things have gotten better since primary?
Do you think things are the same now at work.
I think that due to your childhood teasing, you have lost some self esteem which is very necessary for all of us to have to go on in this world. What helps I think is to think the good things you are good at, all the people that care about you and then start building it that way, because if someone says something insulting towards you, there are ways that someone can answer them without swearing but being a smart ass, specially if you are smart
if you wanna share your story with me and let me know what the scenario is at work, I will be more then happy to help you. Maybe I can tell you exactly what to say and act and see what happens. Luckily bullying has never happened to me, I guess because I never keep my mouth shot if someone throws a comment at me. lol

hope to hear from you! take care

I grew up in New York and I have similar experiences. In junior high school, everyone was constantly making extremely vulgar jokes about sex, sodomy, homosexuality, etc. Depending on where you lived, I would not be surprised that they were making fun of your chipmunks. Tweens these days are really sick in the head.

I was also very self-conscious when I was in junior high. It came to the point that my limbs seized up whenever I was around anyone. I suppose it's nature.
