Back in my preteen years I was not only "different" but I was very heavy, had acne and had no friends. I was THE target for bullying and I allowed it to happen. I felt I deserved it AND they picked that up from me and it encouraged them to do it more. It stopped when I was 15, because I felt it was time for me to lose weight and I did, I bought make up to cover up my acne, I joined some outside organizations and learned some great social skills that way.. even though at high school I was still considered an "outcast", the bullying stopped. They must have felt that I knew I needed to treat myself better and they stopped. If you let others know that you accept who you are no matter what, the bullying will not continue. However, bullies are very unhappy people who seek out those who they perceive to be "weaker" than them.. and picking on them is a way to bandage up their severely shattered ego. At times I was bullied online but I always now shoot back at them.. they always have to throw in "nutcase" or "psycho", but the bullying does stop. If they know in one way or another you will not stand for it.. they will leave you alone and find someone else to pick on. You seriously enjoy this kind of stuff happening to you? Because you deserve so much better treatment than that.
