I'm straight and I was bullied in grade school.

15. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I am straight and was bullied too. In a "Christian" school.

And I can definitely see the bully in Romney. He's obviously a pampered little jerk who was born on third base and thought he hit a triple.

But you do sometimes have to fight back. My husband was bullied in high school too, until he finally got fed up and fought back. One of the brats threw a Sunday paper at his head, and it hurt. He threw one kid across a couple of desks and punched another in the face. The teacher, who knew what had been going on, didn't punish him at all. But those bullies backed off.

My husband is now a teacher and he's pounding it into these kids' heads that bullies are cowards, ugly, and worthless. He flunks bullies, and lets them know why they flunked. He sits right down in the middle of the popular kid's lunch table and there is NO bullying in the lunch room. But still, he says there are so many ways to bully that teachers can't possible stop it all. It's really up to society.
