nope! occasionally i had other kids pick on me, but nothing bad. i never had the experience of other people going crazy to get a response out of me though... despite being schizoid, it's very easy to make me cry. >.<

and now that i think about it, i was always so quiet that i was able to fly under the radar and go unnoticed. i was usually nice to others too (though i was an evil brat sometimes... XD ), so i didn't really give anyone that much reason to dislike me.

not really. i was asked why i was so quiet alot, but was about it. Got the 'dont ###$ with the quiet kid he may shoot us up one day' domments a couple times.constantly had girls trying to make me talk so i guess i got lucky with the situation. was mostly a 'jock' in the sense i did alot of sports, so quite a few of the 'popular' kids didnt really ###$ with me cause i was a teammate.

Yes I was bullied, mostly in high school, and by my own friends. That's probably the main cause of my (secret) schizoid PD, but I was also abused at home in every way possible. And even with teachers when I asked for help when I was 12, I was brushed off and told to talk to the counsellor when I went to my next school. Mostly though, with the bullying, as it was with girls (and my friends), I was taken advantage of. My willingness to help was used by my friends to do their work for them in school. And I was backstabbed by so many of my friends. Eventually I just gave up on having friends and just stuck to myself. I also moved a lot, so went to a lot of different schools. Since leaving school, (I'm now 26) I do have friends, but mostly to try and look normal. And they are on a surface level, so when they leave or let me down as they inevitably all do, it doesn't worry me. In fact, it's easier. It's so exhausting trying to keep friends!

Nope, not by my peers. Sometimes other kids took little jabs at me but but mostly in a teasing sort of way. Mostly blended in, nobody had anything against me but nobody really adored me, except a couple abused girls who apparently didn't mind my indifference.

I did have kind of a reputation for faking sick a lot, though, I missed about 30 days a year that way and it's a wonder they never held me back. I just hated school and preferred to spend the days alone.

Was bullied a bit by school faculty, though. Especially my 4th grade teacher... nasty woman. Former lawyer and she liked being in control. She also liked little girls more than little boys. Used any excuse she could to take me into another room and scream at me. Eventually I sent her some very hostile hate mail and got suspended. In the conference with my parents she was positively seething when noting that I addressed her by her first name. I wasn't really an asshole as a kid, but I pretty much couldn't help it in her case.

I was a fat kid and I remain a fat adult.

Thing is, basic survival instinct kicks in with potential bullies so they don't try to pick on someone bigger than they are unless they have some serious backup. There was a group of four of them that irritated me occasionally, one day going as far as to throw rocks. I can't remember what I did, but I figure I just ignored them.

In high school there was one big bastard who was probably 20 and still struggling to beat the 10th grade, he tried to bug me on occasion, but I had an unusual ally in the other school bully who was the same size as the first and kindly thumped him when caught. Memory's fuzzy, but I think Trev liked me because I wasn't scared of him. Helped him once with science too, I think... maybe. It's been well-on 15 years, so I might be confusing the facts.

Regardless; being the fat kid with the frame to carry it was useful at keeping bullies at bay, for the most part.

Stabbing a pencil through another kid's hand when in grade 5 probably helped. Small town, reputations stick.

Homeschooled until high school, heh. Wasn't the greatest situation at home, though - ended up being responsible for eventually getting my family split up by social services. Hilariously, you are apparently considered a fit parent if it isn't sexual/physical abuse - they got to keep 3 of our youngest siblings :shock: - and were only monitored via weekly visits for about 6 months.

I don't want to know how they turn out :cry:.

There is something profoundly damaging in watching your twin brother be ostracized and forced into the role of family scapegoat and being unable to do anything about it. Considering he was very, very, similar to me and was in that position for virtually no reason, I lived life on a razor's edge. One mistake = life at home ruined. Ruined = being locked in a closet 23/7 (with a bucket to piss/$#%^ in) when not at school/eating. I swear, minimum security prison is probably a more pleasant experience.

As for bullying, I don't play fair :D I only got into one physical confrontation (a sudden surge of adrenaline/seeing red freaked me out quite a bit) but he kept trying to pick on me so I eventually got him expelled.
Causality. There is no escape from it, we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the why. Why is what separates us from them.

The biggest bully in my life was my dad though it was basically all verbal and that somehow always isn't as serious as if he gave me a black eye. The damage is the same if not worse, I'd trade all of that for 1 black eye for sure!

Now to bullying outside the home. There were incidents at school but I'd never let it get to me. Once, this like 1 head taller 2 or 3 years older boy kept pushing me down the stairs and I didnt flinch, kept going at him, no fear, no shaking, I was acting like he doesn't exist... and he'd push me down again... I'd just get up and go again like u have to kill me to stop me mind set... Well obviously he didn't kill me and stopped, prolly thought I'm crazy. Was pretty much prepared I'd have to fight this giant asshole. This was the worst incident I can remeber.

I had to get into a few fights in kindergarden and then in school. Just let me be you morons! I guess many of you can relate to this. I always did shy away from people but never from a fight if I didn't have a way out fists will fall. I was usually without backup... go figure eh.

As I started college such incidents stopped, I guess most of those "animals" don't attend college anyway, hehe From what I could tell from my experience most of them are cowards they prefer "targets" who don't defend themselves, they are a pathetic excuse for a living being.

I kept to myself throughout middle school/high school and was never bullied. In elementary school I got along pretty well with everyone. I don't know what happened between elementary and middle school.

Yes and no . The very first year of elementary school I got bullied by other students and trough elementary school I got often beaten by a teacher. I cannot realy remember when , but I found out by my teachers behavior that fear and acting like an ape is a good way of keeping people at bay,so one day I just found the "boss" bully and knocked him the ###$ out . After displaying my dominance in this primitive group the rest of the bullies left me alone. :lol: Sometimes they would gather some courage and come strutting towards me like a bunch of chimpanzees , but they never realy bothered me again.

I actualy became some sort of a bully myself and I would usualy bully other bullies, ironicly. I where no saint though , I did some cruel things to some that did not deserve it, but I guess we all have said or done things we are not proud of.
In later years there where few who bothered me because I got a reputation of being a coldhearted bastard and I got the peace I wanted.

I were bullied in school, but not because of my SPD.
I actually were sad about it, but I never showed it to anyone.
I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid
