Were You Bullied In School?
Front-Ranger:
We must erase the hate. As adults and parents, we must teach children that this is not tolerable!
milomorris:
Yes, I was bullied. No, I did not contemplate suicide. I was bullied at school, and in the streets for being black. I fixed the problem by kicking ass instead.

I was bullied in school. it got worse in Junior High when I got my first pair of glasses and then when I got acne. Didn't take much for them to find something to make fun of me It wasn't until around the 10th grade when they slowly stopped.
I never contemplated suicide when I was in school (though over the years as an adult there have been some very dark moments for me)

I was bullied pretty routinely in junior high. I remember those 3 years being absolutely horrible. But, we moved at the end of 8th grade to a different state. So, I had a clean slate to start high school, which turned out to be just fine... actually a pretty nice experience overall. But, even during the bad years of junior high I didn't contemplate suicide. I can understand how bullying might lead some kids to feel that terrible though... bullying truly can be a totally demoralizing thing to have to deal with.

I was bullied in school, and suffered depression because of it, contemplated running away from home but didn't. I sought solice in religion, which kept my mind occupied by the never ending goal of being a worthy person.
I am glad to see the education system taking it more seriously now. I think in a way a lot of it is hormone induced among the students, but I also felt persecuted and picked on by teachers and administrators as well. Any step forward is a positive one.
