I had a great time in primary school, but was horribly bullied in secondary school. I could never understand why these kids picked on me so much, I tried to be good to people but they would stick pins in me, slap me, put my jacket and schoolbag in the bins, and a whole load of other stuff. I never understood what I did to deserve it, I ended up hating myself and tried t commit suicide shortly after leaving school. I truly believe that the hell I went through at school triggered my psychosis and mood swings. Iām so sorry this has happened to you and so many people here, it is so damaging.

Wish I can do something to reverse the damage.

I was bullied and I was also the bully.
Some things are still triggering. Like if someone touches me in a way Iām not comfortable with, I might fight them or freeze up depending on who it is. Usually girls I freeze up and guys I beat up.

Iāve always been the odd one out, through grade school I had big classes, tall, and curly hair so I was called Napoleon all the way until 8th grade. (I grew up in Idaho)
People started leaving me alone when I could break noses! Haha In High school I decided to join our schoolās gay straight alliance because I was still in the closet at the time. They called me a faker and poser because I didnāt wear name-brand shoes and wasnāt overtly feminine. (I wore docks and film t-shirts so anxy! :P) It got really bad to the point where after I left they still harassed me and had one of the straight girls friends pretended to be my friend and when I went to her house she drugged and raped me telling everyone I slept with her and really was a poser. Very intricate and shitty plans, and I have a lot of issues to this day with trusting people with my sexuality as well as being alone with them. ( I also have a really hard time becoming friends with other gay men too)

Iāve talked to gay men who hate overly feminine gay men and say THEY are the fakes / they give a bad name for all gay people. I am friends (I consider him a friend anyway) with a gay guy at the gym and he was using his sexuality as a joke which I was okay with at first but when he asked me if I know how gay people act, I meant to describe him (because he openly said he was gay to me) but I think I offended him when I said what I did. I asked the next time I saw him if I offended him and he said he was okay and he didnāt remember it.
But anyway I have a similar experience to what you did with the girl (although Iām not gay) and she said I raped her and stuff when she was actually doing that to me. She would give me alcohol and drugs. But I just tell everyone now that I didnāt do nothing and she came onto me first.

I was bullied often in school, especially in the early days. That obviously calms down some in college, but I can feel people talking about me, still.

Yes, I was bullied throughout my school years. It started very early in grade school and continued through high school. Mostly it was all verbal, but some of it was physical too. In college, it got better. I was still weird, but people were ok with it.
I remember one time in high school when I broke my arm, I was hit by a car. This football player also got injured around the same time but not in the same way, he was being chased and tried to run out the door, but missed the bar so ran through the door. It was glass so he broke the glass, got cut, and needed stitches. Then he tried to make fun of me. He said āHow fast was the car moving, like 5 miles per hour?ā Implying that I was silly to have gotten hit by such a slow moving vehicle. So I responded: āHow fast was the door moving?ā That was the one time I was able to insult a bully successfully. Then he just got in my face and made stupid noises.

See, now that I am out of high school, and college Iāve come across a very judgmental and horrible community of gay men where I live. I feel that this would really tie in with almost every community, but I definitely donāt allow my judgments rule out becoming friends with someone based on the way the look, talk, and act. As soon as some prissy judgmental bs comes out I get out of it real quick! 
Honestly sexual assault is so common for both genders. There definitely needs to be mutual respect and understanding that any sort of unwelcome/random sexual touching and advances are sexual assault, and gender has little to nothing to do with it. Nobody has the right to touch someone else without their permission.
Sorry that happened to you!

My bullies were a fat gay kid and a skinny dwarf who looks like if their parents were brothers. I just cant believe I got bullied by them. They tried to bully a friend, but my friend beat up em and he never was bullied againā¦

I was bullied in Jr. High and High school by girls of a certain ethnic group that I am not allowed to mention on the internet. Anyway, they were bussed into our schools from distant neighborhoods and raised havoc among the local school populations.

I was involved with drugs and the people I used to think were my friends were not. I also got expelled from a school and when I started my new one someone made up a rumour I left because I was bullied so everyone gave me a really hard time. I wish now I had gone to the school for people with behaviroul problems as I probably wouldnāt have been bullied there.

I feel for both of you guys @anon1571434 and @lcork9017. I was targeted for being myself several times and other gays were treated horribly. But itās so true that all genders can experience sexual assault. I think things will change but more people will be hurt.
