I WOULD RATHER BE FAT and thats okay because im somewhat of a decent person and people who make fun of other people just wast there time and add to the hate in this world so to anyone that reads this dont hate or discriminate spread some love god knows this place needs it!!!
I've had a lot of experience with teasing, given that I'm a conventionally unattractive, very overweight girl.
I've been getting teased since I started going to school, starting with my weight and the short hair I had at the time, then things started to wain in the later years until 6th grade, when there were this group of 8th graders that would say catcalls to me at lunch, so that ended up with me not eating breakfast and lunch to try and lose weight, but my mom said that that was really dangerous especially because I have some pre-diabetes thing, so that ended. In 7th, there was a guy that would yell things when I walked by, and eventually after he made a comment, I just hugged him. He screamed so damn loud and this was in the middle of the cafeteria, it was hilarious, but after a little while he still said stuff, but at that point I didn't want to waste my time on him. Fast forward to now, I'm a freshman in High School;I'm doing things I love (Art and Drama), I have friends I wouldn't trade for anything,I have a better idea of who I am and what I want out of life and I'm more confident than I was. I'll admit that I don't trust people as much as I should, like I think anyone can have something against me or something they don't like, but that's something I'm working on. Of course the teasing hasn't stopped, but I don't mind it as much any more. There was this one incident more recently where a kid ran up behind me and spanked me, my teacher was right there, so she took me to the office to fill out a report against him, there was another kid there that when I replied to him asking what I was doing there, he said something along the lines of "What's your problem?".
Teasing...
It began in second grade, people made fun of my voice... I still have no idea whats up with my voice, they say I have some sort of accent. By 5th grade I'd grown to be that one quiet kid.
Then in 5th grade they found something new to tease about. I walk on my toes, I always have. Its how I learned to walk. They made fun of it in gym class. How I ran, how funny it looks, "ballerina"... D;
Luckily I don't have most of this anymore, but it still scars me as I'm sure it scars other people when they are teased.
don't worry about the accent thing. Most people will tease you about it throughout high school at the most, but later in life, accent's are sexy. ^_^
People will find any reason to hate someone.
You could take any major star, who everyone loves, and no one who no one would ever say anything mean to them, and I guarantee you that when they were younger they got teased in school. I guarantee it.
I was never really teased while I was in school. But my husband thinks it's fun to tease and pick on me now. And he thinks he's playing, but he doesn't understand that it doesn't make me feel good. I try to tell him he needs to find a new way to play around with me. But he just doesn't get it. It's bad for my self-esteem when he does it. And I don't want my 3 year old daughter growing up thinking it's ok for men to do it to us. I'm getting to the point that after 6 years, I'm begining to be fed up with it and I don't know how to get him to stop!
that sucks. You have to sit him down and make it damn clear that it's not ok. I would stop feeding him, or withhold other privileges until he learns his lesson.

(go to post 75, the 3 guys had been bad repping me for a while, and eventually my cousin tried to defend me and they started bad repping him too, this argument goes on for a while)
