Thread made due to the STAWP BULLYING NAO craze.
But in all seriousness, have you?
What happened?
Have you forgiven them?
Does it still effect you now?

I'm just curious...

I've been called anorexic by people in 6th grade and by my friend in 8th grade. Ironicly I hated her even more for that. Never liked her in the first place.

Back in high school, I was unfortunate to be the only girl in one of my classes. I usually sit in the front row, and one time I overheard the guys behind me smack talking, "No, she's not fat, she's chubby." It didn't exactly hurt my self-esteem since I was more "meh" back then. If that were to happen to me today (which it thankfully hasn't cause I think if I lost anymore weight I'd be in the unhealthy range) I would probably take it a lot harsher than I did back then...

sweatdrop I think due to the reason that I always used to walk around looking like I could kill anyone that looked at me wrong, high school days, I didn't get bullied.

There was one time when, he was my best friend at the time, told me; "You're not strong because you don't work out. I push and lift heavy amps all day." emotion_dowant Oh, would I like to plant my knuckles in his mouth today.

I was always a chunky kid, early childhood was awesome I didn't know what fat was I didn't even notice it on people.
I thought we were all the same and I also got along with everyone too.
But then around fourth or fifth grade, that is when it started to change.
All of the thin girls were in a group, all of the boys who played sports were in a group, chubby kids had a group.
We all stayed in our group.
There started to be a lot of bullying on the chubby kids from the others.
It was weird.
Granted I was still friends with a few people out of my group (they are awesome)
Anyway I'm rambling.
So yeah I had it a bit rough.
I remember kids calling me fat and one kid insisted that I was pregnant which started a lot of hateful gossip.
Uhg.
I didn't even know what being pregnant was I was only eight, my mom never told me anything about that kind of thing until I was twelve.
Maybe I was just a dumb kid at the time? I dunno.

I weighed close to 200lbs my senior year or school. All these 6' girls who weighed at least 300lbs, and these short uberfat girls would come up to me and say I'm fat and ugly n stuff. I'm like 5'6", and so obviously, I didn't say anything back.
Sure, I forgave them. They're obviously blind and stupid, and were wrong. I wouldn't turn down a chance to make their lives hell though.
And it doesn't affect me anymore. I lost weight. And don't ever see them.

Since I was a kid I've always been fat/chunky/chubby (whatever you wanna call it.)
I always got made fun of. I hated it.
I'm still made fun of, but not as much since at the school where I used to go to, there was girls that were bigger than me.
I have lost some weight and still I don't look as big as I really am. I weigh the same as another girl, but she looks bigger than me. It's weird, but... yeah.
I still want to be super thin though.. Society makes it seem like not being stick thin is a bad thing.
Whatever.
I usually don't listen to that BS but I just hate how people think that I'm fat because I'm in some unhealthy relationship with food.
Honestly, being "fat" runs in my family. It's, like, hereditary. Women from my mom's side of the family and my dad's side of the family tend to be at least 1000lbs. Luckily, I haven't gotten there yet and I don't plan on it either.
I want to do the tapeworm thing... but that's illegal ://
I might get the lapband since I heard you can be 15 or something? Well, I'm almost sixteen so.. all good.

-Forgot to add this and i dunno where to put it... One of the people who give me crap about my weight is my "best friend." It hurts. She always makes little comments and finds little ways to call me fat. She also rubs in the fact that she gets more guys in a week than I do in a year. (but it could be because she's easy and hooks up with ANY guy) I HATE her, but I just let her push me around and treat me like crap since it's just who I am. I tend to be a doormat and people always walk all over me. ://

Yes. In short, yes I did. Really badly.

In fairness, the people at my old school bullied me over anything they could find to bully me about, and I went to a really sport-orientated primary school, but I couldn't do sports. I have practically no hand-eye coordination, can't run fast, no grace, I can't swim, I can't aim, and I just panic when balls get thrown at me, so all in all, that wasn't a particularly good mix. I was the butt of everybody's jokes though, so I just kinda...got on with it.

There was this one girl, called Sophie Theakston (ain't it weird that you can remember the names of the people who bullied you, but less of the people who were nice?) who was so much worse than any of the others. In fairness, I can look back and see that she was coming from a really difficult home life, but she had to get sent to counselling about abusing other kids, and I was her punch bag for 4 years. What really makes me happy now is finding them on facebook and seeing how they all (not even one didn't) turned into rich slags emotion_c8

I forgave them, but it took a long time. I once had a dream where I went back and punched everyone in the face. That was a nice day~

It got better when I got to secondary school, but it was a girls' school, so the focus on looking hot, even aged 11, was super strong. Over the following 5 years, I became my own bully about my weight, but that's all in the past :3 Its actually part of my testimony, so if anyone wants to hear it, go ahead and PM me.

Unfortunately I grew up in the barf and starve 90's. The saying was "You can never been too thin." In the seventh grade I was 5'3 and weighed 109 pounds. I was at a normal weight range, but was developing a womanly body. The kids would tease me and say "Hi Big Butt!" I really hurt my feelings. crying It's funny now because some of the former popular kids are now as fat as hogs. twisted blaugh I'm now 30, have two kids, am 5'5 currently weigh in the 170's range, trying to get to the 140's. I'm a little overweight now but more comfortable in my own skin.

I was a chubby kid. Prone to being picked on. crying
But it didn't really affect me because i knew i could slam just about any kid in my age group. Fat kids tend to be strong as hell. After all, packing all that weight around is a workout.
Plus i didn't care that i was a couple extra donuts of a baker's dozen. I ran around and rode bike and stuff like a skinny kid.
Only one time was i pushed to the edge. He wouldn't shut up. And when i tell you to shut up 10+ times, you probably should.
Long story short, i hit him with my bike. And then his friend ran away. He sort of hobbled...

Never got picked on by him ever again. Never really got picked on much by anyone after that, come to think about it.

So, violence is always the answer.

I am still fat, and have only recently become concerned of my weight for health reasons.
Mostly, though, because i don't want to wear 32-40's.

My chest is concaved so you can always see my ribs and I have a giant dip in the middle of chest. The on guy who had a gym locker next to me thought I was anorexic. Ironically he was a very big guy. We ended up being sort of friends. Being tall kind of prevents me from being bullied. That and I'm nice to everybody. Nobody really cares about my body and I don't care to get rid of my pit. The surgery for it would leave a metal bar in my chest for 4 years.

Well, it looks like a fair amount of people were bullied for their weight. I know in my school it was really, really obvious.

I was to myself, I mostly got to watch other people. I saw a lot of really heavy kids, and kids with mental deficiencies get sooo much s**t. Name-calling, prodding, trolling, stealing their stuff, hiding their things, grabbing stuff and running off, playing monkey-in-the-middle with their things... All that. I never really saw any violence that was physical - we had a pretty small school, so it stayed mostly "I'm going to torment you but not hit you" kind of stuff.

As for me, I was always fat, but I was also smart enough - and scary/creepy enough- that other people pretty much left me alone. When they didn't, I just stared at them until they let me be.

Now it's better. 5'11'', from 300 to about 150 now.

I haven't been bullied because of my weight but my sophomore year of High School (First year for where I was going) there was a rumor started that I was pregnant, when really it was how my body held fat, it had been embarrassing but I quickly nipped it and was able to get that rumor out of the school halls. But the fact that that was started hurt.
