Sorry to hear that. I was a special education teacher, and many of the students who are placed in special education are very bright and capable but just have learning needs that cannot be addressed in a general education classroom.
I wasn't bullied too much in school. I kept to myself for the most part.
People got bullied more than me because I knew how to tell people to F off... some didn't 🙁

@Maul I'm sorry you had to deal with that when you were in school.
I did alright when I was in elementary school. Then I was bullied by a couple of different girls when I got to jr. high. When I got to high school it was okay again because the girls that were bullying me in jr. high had moved, plus, I had made some new friends.

I was bullied quite a bit in school and never stood up for myself very often because my anxiety was through the roof at the time, which always made me fear the worse if I were to retaliate. Apparently, being the quiet/shy type in the school puts a big target on your forehead.
I was also bullied at school, not by other children but by teachers. It was common place to thrash children in those days. It got out of hand on one occasion and I retaliated out of fear. I was fourteen years old and never went back to school.
When my daughter was being bullied at a similar age I unleashed the four horseman of the apocalypse on the perpetrators and it never happened again. Needless to say I utterly despise bullies.

Absolutely understandable, I was in the very same position.
That's awful! Teachers should know better!
Go get 'em!
I got it bad in middle school.
When I lived in Arkansas with my father and being the new kid in school, rumors got passed around that I was gay. A majority of my classmates believed the rumor. As a result, I was bullied and called faggot or gay boy on a daily basis for 3 years.
The only plus side was that the teachers would sit me next to the girls, who also believed I was gay because the guys would always complain. But that was okay.
Oddly enough, I got used to everyone's homophobia and just went with it. What choice did I have right?
Before I moved back to Missouri to live with my mother, I got caught with a women's bathing suit magazine by a classmate and he went and told everyone. After 3 years of being treated horribly and called homophobic names, the guys realized I wasn't gay and the bullying stopped and suddenly everyone liked me all of a sudden.
I really hate that f word, it's so ingrained in my mind. Kids don't understand what damage they do to others.
Nice bonus! 🙂
Sadly it is something you do just get used to.
Amazing how that works, right? Show an interest in women and you're a god...
I don't like it either, it's very degrading. I really wish people would quit being homophobic. Rumors can be extremely damaging. Every day I'd go to school, I was insulted, threatened, and ostracized just because they were under the belief I was homosexual. One of the teachers even started putting me out in the hallway. I was given a biblical lecture, by two teachers, going on how homosexuality is a sin and is not tolerated. Because of the cruelty I faced and being an adult today, it has strengthened my support for the LGBT community. I know what it's like for them to be hated. It's horrible, its immoral, it's inhumane, and it's despicable that people would treat their fellow human being in a very degrading way.

It certainly is, it's horrifying to hear it as a kid, to be verbally lambasted daily. In my case it started with my own brother and got worse from there.
Even if you were, what does it affect them? That's what gets me, it's something that has absolutely no impact on them, at all. So why use that as a form of abuse? It's not like being gay is a bad thing, it's just an orientation. Depending on your viewpoint I wasn't gay either (not attracted to guys), but it's the go-to insult and they will find every excuse to make you feel like it's the absolute worst label to be given, which is so far from the truth. Some of my best friends are gay men and their orientation, partners, love lives are a mere footnote as to who they are as people, because they truly are amazing, wonderful people and friends. Kids, though...
That's disgusting, for adults to try and stop someone from being who they are (if you had actually been), that is grotesque.
I'm sorry that you had to endure all of that, and over a false assumption. You didn't deserve to have to go through that, no one does.
I have not replied to this topic as I do not really want to think back to the shocking days when I got bullied, hence online makes me feel open and different in terms of who the person I am. School for me was pointless and my conditions synonym makes it harder. Meaning to stand up for myself and be able to control it. That being said when you are at school you are just a kid and those that bullied you are just kids that know nothing eighter and end of the day aren't just them but you got no idea what they are like at home or if they have bad parents, at times them bullying other kids makes their rage go out to someone even that the person gets it so bad.
I had it bad to the point that I had to leave school for a full month, as I was just upset and painful, lets's say I got kicked in the corner by three other kids that are some grade as me, and yet they are large kids.

I was bullied quite a bit in school in the earlier years I remember. It got so bad at one point I never wanted to go to school and it gave my Mum a lot of trouble getting me to come to school and trying to get the bullying dealt with. I was always bullied either for my height or for the bright blonde hair that I had as a child. Once I got into around year 8/9 the bullying pretty much stopped and I started to enjoy school more, unfortunately, that was only for a few years before I left.
