I was treated horribly in school. For one thing, I changed schools alot, so I got it bad for being a transfer student. In one school, I was tormented because I wasn't an athlete, in another, for trying to be a good kid and staying out of trouble. In 8th grade, my worst year ever, I was tormented for having a deep voice and later for being interested in shortwave radio.
High school I was tormented for many reasons including refusing to be put through a degrading week of hazing by senior students, for not going to school dances, ball games, and other school functions, not wanting to date, and the list goes on. I was so glad when I graduated.
College was OK though, since there wasn't the forced socialization that exists in lower level schools. I was free to talk to and more importantly, no talk to, whomever I chose. I was also free to pursue my interests without ridicule. If it could only have always been that way, life would have been so much easier.
