People who wear unfashiable clothes get bullied

Wearing diffirent clothes just give more ammunition to bullies.The reason they bully you because you dont fight back,and once you are known as an easy target other people will join in on the bullying.

I never really got bullied for my clothes, I only got critical comments about it. I learned that wearing the same clothes two days on a row or the same week will get you negative attention so I stopped doing it. I never wore jeans until 6th grade. It was only my mother who made the biggest deal about my clothes so I had all this therapy to fix me so I could wear jeans. Kids had other things to tease me about so they were too lazy to tease me about my clothes.

Kids used to get bullied for wearing "highwaters" (meaning pants whose hems were seen as being "higher" than normal). Also: if kids had non-namebranded sneakers (especially after about 1975), they were bullied. If a kid had "too good" sneakers, they were bullied, too, and their sneakers stolen.

Hmm, I must have been very fortunate. I only ever wear jeans and T-shirts, and a fleece sweater in winter, and I've never had anyone bully me or make comments about it. Granted, when I was little and wore more of a variety of things, sometimes when I'd come downstairs after getting dressed, my mom would send me back up to change for one reason or another, saying she didn't want me to look like a "ragamuffin," so perhaps she kept me from wearing anything that would be too likely to get negative attention. I never have paid any attention to fashion and just wear what I want. I guess people had enough other things to bully me for that my clothes were pretty far down on the list.

I wear some really unfashionable clothing, but I don't get bullied for it. I think my school does an extremely good job in preventing bullying because nobody ever gets truly "bullied." Sure, some of us get left out at times and everybody gossips about one another, but there isn't any significant bullying, which is great!

It could be that wearing unfashionable clothes makes someone easier to bully.

But the bullies do not tell the victims how they choose the victim

I usually combine skirts with metal/indie/rock band shirts or other printed shirts, leggings and tight black hoodie jackets (they don't seem to be trendy, at least they don't seem to get produced a lot..). I would love to wear pants/jeans, but they are too uncomfortable for me (I suffer from vulvodynia) and I don't want to wear loose pants because I don't like the look of them.

Also I buy almost everything second hand on the internet (and sometimes fair trade clothing), so I have clothes that don't fit 100 %, are a bit too long or something like that. Sometimes I'm also not sure on what to combine with what.

I think no one dresses like me, at least I see no one. Sometimes you would think I'm a metal head, but then again I wear things that no one in the metal scene would wear, like shirts from indie bands.

So I guess I look really weird. I sometimes wonder if I have any disadvantage because of that?
