I was bullied from first grade all the way up to tenth grade. Around the time I turned 16 I developed a growth spurt and was a big or bigger than the bullies. Thats when they mysteriosly left me alone especially after they witnessed a few of my out bursts It was also the time I was let out of special education classes.

Recently I was kicked out of savage worlds roleplaying group in Buffalo because they believed I was racist because different langauges have different sounds to me. I told them English sounds like sheep bleating, Arabic sounds like coughing, German has a growling sound, French, Italian, Russian, and Some Indian languages sounds bubbly too me. These guys were taking pot shots at my intelligence the whole night and when they accused me of being racist I talked some smack to them. These jack offs know I have learning disabilities. I guess there are all types of bullying.


Todesking, that just sucks. Sorry.

What an interesting way to look at languages. It doesn't sound racist at all.

I wish they had something like that here in Buffalo, NY all the jobs I ever had a had fallen into . My friend Tom got me a job at a resteraunt I worked there for 9 years then quit because I had enough of the idiots that worked there, My other job I was hired from a poorly run temp agency they did not want me at first but I was good at a job they did not hire me for so they kept me for 9 years then laid me off. I stay with jobs for so long because I cannot stand meeting new people. All jobs that I had to interview for I never got. I get nervous, don't make eye contact, I sweat profusely, and I become hard to understand verbally, I sabotage myself so I never had a good paying job. I can force myself to smile and laugh convincingly enough to appear normal in medical situations maybe I can pull it off on the next job interview.

I had enough trouble with "regular jobs" that I started my own business--it's very small, brings in very little money so far, but I'm always trying to expand on what I can do, build my assets so that in the future I can ask for more money for my services. Focus on your skills or area of expertise and see what you can do independently. It doesn't work for EVERYONE, of course, but it certainly couldn't hurt anything.

About the whole bullying thing: I've had to deal with that my whole life. The best thing I can tell you is DON'T PUT UP WITH IT. I spelled out my recent experience in the "Pranks" thread, if that helps at all.
