I was bullied throughout middle school. I attended a public school in a poor neighborhood, it was primarily African American and Latino, and I was white and chubby, so I was an easy target. It sucked really bad, I didn't want to go to school, and it made me hesitant to play outside or cruise the neighborhood I grew up in. I had the same 3 friends up until the middle of high school where we branched off. And in high school, I was picked on a bit, I wouldn't call it bullying at that point.
With all that being said, yes, it sucked at the time, gave me some social anxiety issues, but the older I got, I realized just about everyone's got social anxiety issues from one thing or another. You just got to remember that this isn't all there is to life, there's a lot more to come and the longer you go on, the more minuscule those problems seem. There will always be problems, just like there will always be times of peace and comfort...be awake to that fact, see the broader perspective...everything is in a constant stream of change, nothing is ever the same as it once was....even from the time you posted this thread, millions of your cells, that make up what you are, have died, just as a million more have been created again, you are not the same person as you were 10 minutes ago. Life is fleeting, and you will learn not to sweat the small stuff, even though it seems like the big stuff now

I was home schooled until High School, so I as you might expect I had a very hard time transitioning into public schooling and even ended up changing schools more than once.

I was never really bullied, except maybe once or twice. For some strange reason all the thugs and gangsters never bothered me and most were cool. I say that because they where the only ones to really be sketched out by.

Interesting. I never had to worry about thugs and gangsters. (Small city, public school.) Back in my day, it was the popular kids doing the bullying.
And I still get asked when I happen to run into people from high school why I didn't go to the reunion.
Why would I want to? It's been 30 years, and I've been happier since I left.

One of the biggest bullies was also my best friend... He would be nice to me one on one, but whenever we were with other people, ANYTIME i said something, he would have some smug remark to say. Then he would be nice again. This went on throughout ALL of gradeschool. He got my other friends to make fun of me too. I was just always nice and kinda a pushover It took until highschool to realize it was jealousy... I had little issue making friends with people while he always seemed to have to buy people's friendship. Even recently he talked SO MUCH shit about me and in turn people looked down upon me because everyone would see every little fault I had. Now that we are older, he had to stop because he knows that i will straight up beat his ass if he talks shit about me... But I still hear that he talks shit here and there when Im not around!
Whenever we met girls, and when I say EVERY girl that we met in our lives, EVERY girl, he would make me look like I will never get a job, be a drug addict, ETC. There were a number of girls who were attracted to me that he intentionally screwed up. It wasnt until many months later when I would have a conversation with the girl and hear the stuff he was saying about me.
Whenever he is around, I dont talk, because I know hes gonna call me out and make me look like a fool... Hes AWLAYS been good at talking, which is something I was pretty bad at. A lot of my insecurities are due to him and the fact that it took over 15 years for me to stand up to him
Because I have not stood up to him for so long, its very difficult to open up to people. Its hard to trust people now, even if he isnt around. Its such a fucked up situation that I put myself into!
