When I stopped caring about what other people had to say. Somehow the phrase 'You're a freak!' makes people feel less big when it's met with 'So?' or 'Thank you!'

I have had only the verbal and emotional kind. The worst pit of hell 'stopped' when I left Gradeschool. Then I went into a slightly lesser level of being treated like garbage in middle school.

It completly stopped for a while during homeschool, which felt very strange. Since then, I have gotten a little snippet of rude here, and a little snippet of jerk there, and unfortunatly mind will replay each snippet for hours to days. It depends on how hard they try me

Until I graduated from high school, I had to tolerate physical abuse as well as non-physical types of torment. During my 10th year in HS, some of the girls who hated me stole my school pictures from my PE locker. Lots of stuff like that all through my education years from K-12. I am 48, & unfortunately, the bullying still happens, but now it happens at work, mostly. It hurts every bit as bad now as it did then. Last week at work, I hit a weak point & hid in the women's room to cry. I know life isn't fair, I know I am irritating to most people most of the time, but it would be really great if people could just see that I have feelings too. I just don't understand why people can't be respectful.

Sorry for whining...

No apology necessary. We're all venting, aren't we?

About year 10 as all the bullies started dropping out of school. After that it was just plain old social alienation.

When I turned 16 I also had a growth spurt I became 6' 2" 188lbs. I would also go into fits of rage which scared teachers so they would stop wiseasses as soon as they started with me they did not want to try to break up fights or stop me from choking people. Its funny when I was little and took the abuse they would stand there and let the bully torment me, they actually would wait for the bully to finish bullying so they could continue teaching. One female teacher tried to pull me off a kid who spit on me so in my rage I threatend to kill her if she touched me and she let go of me real quick. :twisted: I am very much against killing of teachers but this teacher allowed me to be tormented and did nothing to stop it but when I fought back she was quick to pull me off someone. She literally just stomped her foot on the ground several times to get someone off of me, So screw her she obviously was on the bullies side along.

The presant day bullying has stopped but work place insults and harrasments are very common place. I am the one they love to hate. Everytime my co-workers left a drink unattended I would spit in it luckily I was never caught, I started this when one of them told me he would spit in my face if he could get away with it. I told him if we lived in a society that allowed people to spit in each others faces then it would be a society that would allow stabbings to go unpunished. So he would not get away scot free with spitting in my face if you know what I mean.
