not really. a bit by my brothers but i suppose thats normal
I was bullied in elementary school by older kids because my sister egged them on to do it. Then I went to a new school and got bullied there. Junior high school and high school I had no problems.
Yes,
In middle school.
I think that’s pretty standard.
My bully ended up becoming my best friend,
She’s still my best friend and its been 20 years.

I was bullied in middle school. Pretty badly. Then I became friends with a really popular girl. That ended the bullying.

Yes I was bullied in middle school.
But come to think about it more carefully, I was bullied all my life.

I was bullied at school, at high school and at work because of my schizophrenia. At school and high school I didn’t know I had schizophrenia, but my symptoms made me a different person. When I was working I was hospitalized and diagnosed. Because of schizophrenia I started to be a week and vulnerable girl and I was humilliated so many times at work.

Yeah I worked in the trades over here and was bullied at work. Really came across some idiots but you usually found that they were bullied too and it was just a sick, repeating cycle.

I wouldn’t tell anyone at work I had schizophrenia.
Just several isolated incidents at school. I never got picked on regularly at school. But I got bullied because during my high school years my friend who I had known since 5th grade started going over to this kids house across the street to hang out.
The guy across the street hated me. I really never knew at tne time why he hated me. We got along fine when I first met him, we were even on the same little league team. But around 7th grade he turned on me. I remember the exact day when I made the wrong decision. My friend from 5th grade invited me over because he was going over the guys house. The choice flashed through my mind. I could go hang out with him and the other guy (who I didn’t like much at this point) or I could be alone because I had no other friends. I made the choice that sealed my fate and chose to go to the guys house who didn’t like me.
And I started getting bullied relentlessly but then other people started coming into the picture who I liked, but this guy who didn’t like me was the place everybody hung out so it seemed impossible for me to not go there. And so I got just really sadistic verbal and physical abuse then the situation got messier because some of my so called friends started picking on me too. By this time my self-esteem and confidence were in tatters and it became almost normal to be abused.
But eventually my friend from 5th grade started treating me better and we had a bunch of good times in high school and we became close and we stopped hanging around the bully and I made a couple of other friends and we did all kinds of cool stuff and I got a little of my self-esteem and confidence back and I was very shy but I started hanging out in “the field” at school where all the stoners hung out and smoked pot and I started getting stoned with them. We weren’t great friends or anything but they tolerated me and then things changed and I started selling joints and dime bags on the field and people started knowing me better and accepted me to a point. Anyways, this is my story and I’m sticking to it. And incidentally, years later after I got sick I told my dad about the guy bullying me and picking on me and my dad told me after listening that the guy was jealous of me because the guy was fat all through high school and I was in good shape. Unfortunately I have a little weight on my me now but I don’t resent skinny people.

That has been my experience as well. I was in a trade and was bullied mercilessly for my weight and appearance, but like you said it was a vicious cycle.
I never bullied anyone though, I refused to be apart of that cycle.

There was a girl on the cheerleading team who used to make fun of me sometimes. I was also on the cheerleading team. I’m not sure why she singled me out, but it was obnoxious. It bothered me but mostly I was just confused and annoyed. Later she tried to become the cheerleading coach after high school, but they wouldn’t let her because she was also a stripper.

Yup. Death threats and all. It was a pretty terrible time in my life and I don’t believe I’ll ever forgive all the people that did it.
