Teasing more than bullying, I suppose. Like someone else said, it certainly became less, the older I got. By high school, I would say it didn't happen anymore. It's amazing what that did to my trust though. Even today, I find it hard to believe that people like me. mrs. bird on "have you ever been bullied?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-bullied#post-1034378 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:17:16 +0000 mrs. bird 1034378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @LuLu Mom: i'm so sorry you went through that! @sorrycharlie: you have big BEAUTIFUL eyes! silly kids! i was very lucky in that i was rarely teased and never bullied. a boy teased me once about being fat (i was wearing size 3 jeans at the time, so he wasn't even trying to be mean, he was just joking, but i didn't understand that when it happened) and it was so traumatic that i didn't eat for 3 days and passed out at a birthday party. then there was one other time my brother brought me into his french class and said something nasty about me in french thinking i didn't understand- only i took french, so i did, but i pretended not to, left smiling, and then hid under my hoodie and cried. just those two times being teased were enough to stay with me, i cannot imagine how awful it must be to face it on a regular basis. my heart goes out to any that has gone through it and the kids in it now. :sad: there's nothing cool or funny about being mean for the sake of being mean, it just makes you an asshole.

Luckily I did have great friends to stand by me and my older sister who actually brought it to a teacher's attention who then took it to administation. My school handled it well, even though I never had any intentions of bring it up myself. I was the cry in the bathroom but try & put on a tough front in class kind of person. Finally they left me alone since they didn't get the reaction they wanted (tears.) artsyfartsy on "have you ever been bullied?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-bullied#post-1034103 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:39:17 +0000 artsyfartsy 1034103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've been super short my whole life and I've been teased since kindergarten day 1 because of it. I didn't take it personally though. I've never wished to be taller. I'm 5'0 and proud! I did develop faster in middle school than most and was pretty chesty. I got teased a lot and snarky comments were made to me daily. It was mortifying. I still get it today. Whenever I meet one of DH's work friends he tells me they say, "Gosh, your wife has big jugs!!" Still embarrassing. I'm 5'0 and slender so I look out of proportion.

To this day I have somewhat awkward relationships with people because of developing a thick skin I am hyper sensitive. runsyellowlites on "have you ever been bullied?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-bullied#post-1034087 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:35:23 +0000 runsyellowlites 1034087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sorrycharlie: @Adira: Totally agree! I think because you aren't face to face with someone (although bullies seem to bully just fine when they are) it's even easier to forget how much someones words & actions can affect the heart of someone on the receiving end. I've always hated the "sticks & stones" saying b/c the truth is words are powerful regardless of them being said aloud or typed!

Or I'm going to try to keep him off it for as long as possible!!! I think the internet just makes it soooooooo much easier to bully people!! :( sorrycharlie on "have you ever been bullied?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-bullied#post-1033929 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 11:59:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 1033929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Adira: oh gosh..I know. all of the suicides you read about on CNN and the like. it's heartbreaking! eta - because of online bullying* Adira on "have you ever been bullied?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-bullied#post-1033914 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 11:54:09 +0000 Adira 1033914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I definitely remember excessive teasing and I'd come home crying some days, but now I don't even remember what any of it was about!!!! And in high school I was called "Wookie" because of my arm hair... :( But the older we got, the less mean people were, so thankfully people DO mature. And I'm glad Facebook and all those things weren't around when I was in school!! I'm worried about my poor baby growing up in this social media age! swurlygurl on "have you ever been bullied?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-bullied#post-1033908 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 11:52:52 +0000 swurlygurl 1033908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was always pretty chesty, so they guys called me 'Jugs' in high school. It was horrifying at the time. runsyellowlites on "have you ever been bullied?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-bullied#post-1033896 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 11:48:57 +0000 runsyellowlites 1033896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was bullied quite significantly in high school.... I "busted" the group of girls I was friends with about their backstabbing ways (one of the only times I ever made waves) & told the QB that "no, I'm not going to do *that*".... combine that with going to a very small school (had less than 30 in my class) and I made my way to everyone's hate list pretty quick. It got bad enough that I was places doing things I'd never heard of while I was out of town where it was physically impossible for me to have done, and I literally couldn't walk down the halls without being gossiped about. I'm incredibly thankful that it was before the days of cyber bullying b/c the regular at school, around town, and phone bullying was enough to send me into a 5 mth deep depression. I don't know if I wouldn't made it to adulthood in this day & age of bullying. Apparently now I'm much bolder, more confident, and still get picked on. I guess I can just say I'm very popular for being "unpopular". lol sweetiek on "have you ever been bullied?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-bullied#post-1033894 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 11:47:44 +0000 sweetiek 1033894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I only had problems in 9th grade when I was dating a senior who wasn't popular or anything (he was only 2 years older than me, but 3 grades older). The guys in my grade, especially a former boyfriend, made fun of me for it almost everyday.

It sucked. I hope LO doesn't have to go through it, but I also hope I can teach her ways to cope with it, and to never be the bully. pui on "have you ever been bullied?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-been-bullied#post-1033853 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 11:40:13 +0000 pui 1033853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wasn't extensively bullied, but I was often teased for various things.

I really hope to teach LO to be tolerant and think before she acts/speaks.
