So, I was teased as kid very, very badly. I was made fun of a lot all through grade school until I moved away and went to a different school. After I moved I was teased by a bunch of boys that lived in the neighborhood for about a year, until most of them moved away. Pretty much until high school, I was told I wasn't good enough, wasn't cool enough, wasn't pretty, and that I was 'weird.' Even my suppossed to be "friends" that I had, would make me feel bad and beneath them. They would make comments in not as obvious ways, with snide remarks and downright mean comments. My hubby was teased very bad, and that forced him to drop out in the 10th grade and get his GED. We have talked about it, and as much as I hate to admit it, it still has an affect on me today I think. Its not something I dwell on now, but it still hurts me a little today when I think of it. Sometimes the teasing wasn't just name calling and such, but I had kids actually push, hit, or physically intimidate me for no apparent reason. It wasn't just normal kid teasing, but I was made to feel low and miserable pretty much everyday. Were any of you bullied/teased as a kid, a bullier, and how do you think it affects you now? Can you ever get COMPLETELY past it?
