Were you picked on as a child?

I was picked on.

yes. not too much in elementary. it was 6-7 grade that REALLY killed me.
random story: once i had these cookies i brought to school, i had decided to do something nice and would share them with my bus-mates on the ride home, in an attempt to make friends. well after break i came in, and the class had taken them from my desk and were just sharing them amongst themselves. they didnt even acknolwedge me, and they were just laughing abotu it and eating them in front of me. and they KNEW they were mine.

in highschool, i have hardly been picked on, although occasionally i get the rare laugh at me. really people just ignore me. i get picked last during sports, and people really dont try and hang out with me.

Me, the quiet kid was always picked on. My cousins and second cousins had there own posse, of which I was never part of. So naturally being the odd one out, I got picked on. The same happened through most of my teenage life. Even today it still happens but in a more 'adult' way, which is more subtle.

Yes, unfortunately in my case bullying was a daily occurrence even more so in high school.

I was picked on from kindergarten until graduation in every different school i went to. (switched schools due to move in 7th grade, still picked on in new school)
Since i never tried to conform to anyone else's standards it made me a target, and i was used to it; people thinking i was "weird" etc since i started school. I guess i had my own built up tolerance to it, as i studied people who tried to fit in to different cliques at school and wondered why they would want to be popular. At first when i switched schools in 7th grade i didn't speak much so i got an inside look at the "normal" boring kids and didn't understand what the big to do was about. Soon again i got the "weird" "freak" labels. I pretty much embraced that they would think me different than the rest of clones.
