I didn't so much get bullied except by the nuns but was made fun of and pretty much excluded.
This continued thru high school and even after I lost a good deal of weight I still wasn't accepted.
I know the school years were some of the worst of my life.
I tried very hard to teach my kids that they did not make fun of other people. My oldest son was more like me, didn't have a lot of friends and was the brunt of jokes, that thank goodness has changed but none of my kids were very happy during high school.
It is so sad how so few people can make so many peoples lives miserable.
All you have to do is look around and see how many young people are committing suicide because of bullying. I think the laws have to change so these people pay the price for their hideous actions.
