<p>I was bullied through insults in middle school. Glad it’s over in high school.</p>
<p>What I’ve also noticed about bullying people is that bullies stop after the 10th grade because that would just be extremely immature.</p>
<p>^For girls, yeah. Unfortunately, guys don’t seem to gain maturity in high school. (No offense guys, some of you are probably mature, but the ones in my school? Oh no.)</p>
<p>That’s why I had four senior boys throwing paper and pencils at me in Pre-Calc when I was a junior. All year. And then giggling about it like little girls. </p>
<p>All but one of them failed the class too. </p>
<p>God, it was irritating. Now that I’ve graduated, I can finally bask in the knowledge that I will never see 99.9% of the people I knew in high school ever again.</p>
<p>I went to a small rural school. I knew half the people in my senior class in pre-school. The rest I met in kindergarten. </p>
<p>So, yeah…the same 70-80 kids. For my entire school career. </p>
<p>I’ve had girls **<strong><em>ing right behind me in the lunch line about how much they hated my black jeans and then making up stuff on the spot about me to *</em></strong> me off. I rolled my eyes. But that was freshman year. I guess the middle school hadn’t worn off.</p>
<p>But I’m going to a rigorous college where I’m positive the maturity level will generally be a little higher. It’s about time…</p>
<p>^ that’s true but I think for girls it’s worse because they really know how to hurt another girl’s feelings and push her buttons. I hate people like that that are immature.That laugh unnecessarily at stupid things and don’t know how to treat people right. Once this guy put a sticker on my hoodie during math! [I’m not even a geek lol]</p>
<p>Seriously, I was only a freshman and I was naive and didn’t know how to talk back or defend myself in those type of situations. This year I’ve grown a lot because I’ve called out and **<strong><em>ed on a couple of girls and now they know not to mess with me or they will get a lot of *</em></strong> from me.</p>
<p>I wish I could go back on time and ***** back on them but I’m not sure if I’d want to beat them up (I actually wouldn’t mind beating them up if I wouldn’t get in trouble or took the risk of one of us ending up in the hospital…).</p>
<p>But now I’ve changed so much and know how to deal better with people…and perhaps come off as more intimidating looking (?).</p>
<p>But it’s those type of people that engage in putting people down/bullying them that don’t go very far in life. And they’re the stupid/■■■■■■■■ ones.</p>
<p>I used to carry a pencil around with me in my pocket for convenience, and other people thought I had a boner 24/7 and made fun of me for it. Haha.</p>
<p>My neighbor used to strip my Barbies in preschool :[</p>
<p>Then I painted his Pikachu keychain pink and he stopped coming over.</p>
<p>Actually in elementary school, I was the bully…lol. </p>
<p>But in middle school, there was no such thing. And in high school…I WISHED I was bullied. Seriously there were times in high school where I can finish a day without talking. WITHOUT talking!!
It was so lonely…</p>
<p>^I did that regularly this year. My friends stopped caring about me and became best friends with each other and left me out of everything, so I spent the majority of my school day saying very little. </p>
<p>Not that I really care by this point. It’s not like I’ll be keeping in touch with them anyway…</p>

when i was in kindergarden, and the kids at my school have never saw an asian before (i went to a private prep school in northern chicago, no diversity what so ever). They only saw asians in movies and asked me stereotypical questions like: Can you do kung fu?, Are your parents’ ninjas?. Stuff like that. There was this one </p>
<p>This thread’s depressing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Do you not feel lonely at times?</p>
<p>-shrug- There wasn’t much I could do about it. There’s less than 400 kids in my school.You’re friends with who you’ve been friends with forever. If they ditch you, too bad. You have no more friends. </p>
<p>It’s not like I really cared during the last few weeks. I know I’ll never speak to them again, so why dwell on it? Why should I care? They obviously didn’t give me a second thought. Why do they deserve one?</p>
<p>Answer: They don’t. So I haven’t bothered communicating with them at all since Graduation. No point.</p>
<p>Can’t wait to make friends who aren’t quite so petty in college. At least I’ll have a larger selection to make friends with. Wasn’t really a lot of variety in my school, obviously. </p>
<p>As for being lonely…I really don’t care. It’d be nice to have real friends, yes, that actually care about what I think and have to say instead of the preppy polar opposites that my old “friends” were. </p>
<p>I’ve never actually had a friend like that. </p>
<p>But since I’ve never met someone who offered that to me, I really don’t see the point in getting all depressed over it…</p>
<p>I do hope you will enjoy your college years.</p>
<p>Beneath everybody’s indifference, there’s loneliness.</p>
<p>^That’s not true, you can’t make an all-encompassing statement like that and have it be completely true.</p>
<p>It was by a renowned psychiatrist in my country.</p>
<p>It’s still false.</p>
<p>Perhaps it is, but even the most cheerful person feels lonely at times.</p>
