Ya, I was targetted and bullied, probably because I stood out quite a bit. It got better around high school especally towards the end. I am in no way damaged by it I dont think, i faired alright, learned and now when stuff happens I can make it stop.

Verbal bullying by my "peers" over here; I dealt with physical bullying from my sister by biting her when little, restraining her when big. There wasn't much I could do for verbal bullying by my "peers", i.e., I'd get in trouble for responding the only way I knew how (physical).

People don't realize the pain one can feel by words..., sticks can break bones, but words can break the same bones.
