Bullies were born and bred to terrorize kids like me. When one thinks of a typical bully, they think of a snarling budnick of a boy, slamming the small kid up against the lockers. I would have loved it if that was the only kind of bully I had been forced to deal with. The worst torture didn't come from a big muscular boy, or any boy. It was the

Oh, man, that would have sucked. I got picked on a bit at school too, but it wasn't as bad as that, and I don't think I ever cared enough about popularity to try and behave that way. Girls can be so cruel.

oh this entry had me cringing the whole time! It's insane how a couple of asshole kids leave such a footprint on our lives.

I never had it too, too bad. I guess the most was just being called a 'fag' constantly. I was never really a target, but I wasn't anywhere near cool enough to be ignored by bullies all together. I do have a vivid memory from elementry school where this kid that didn't like me for whatever reason completely covered me in mud. Heinus! Ok I'm rambling with my own stories in your LJ so I'll stop. Good entry, it made me want to hug your 10 year old self!

I was like you in school too. I cried almost every morning before getting on the bus. I remember wearing makeup one day to feel pretty and the girl on my bus proceeded to tell me I looked like a slut and the entire bus started doing it to me too. I was maybe 12? I remember begging my mom to buy me name brand clothes that we couldn't afford in hopes that they would see that I was cool. It never worked. They made fun of me more for trying to be like them.

It was really bad. I hated myself so much back then, I just wanted to die. It was a terrible, terrible time.

In high school, I made friends with the feaks though and stopped caring what people thought of me. I became much happier and honestly, the teasing stopped. It was a real eye pening experience for me.
