I have never been beaten up or anything but my friends always bug me when I am reading.
"How can you read that?!"
"that would bore me to death!"
and such.
How about you guys?

Oh yeah 3nodding
That bugging does sound very much like what I'm used to. Or gladly was used to. When I was in secondary school people would make fun of me for always reading thick books. Luckily now in my class at the Uni some other people also read fat books, and actually people are more relaxed at it overal. THat bugging is so anoying, especially when you can't block them out and the story is getting really exiting.

I used to read in the cafeteria with my friend but this year we'er in a lunch period with a bunch of our friends who don't usually read and if you ever try to pull out a book in thier presense they start poking you and hovering over you asking stupid questions. I don't even try anymore. I just read in my room but even there I get bugged sometimes. I sometimes have a small outburst then they act all sad the rest of the day. It's a no win situation.

I used to get the usual snickers. Later in high school everyone knew me as a reader and sometimes would come to me for suggestions or ask if I could recommend my current read to them. However, they all thought I was crazy for reading Gone With the Wind when I was in sixth grade.
Now that I am in college, I require a quiet area to read so no one bothers me. The quiet study floor of the campus library is the only place that I am not asked what I am reading and the likes.

That was never a probalem for me. I guess it was simply a part of my persona.

Yeah, my friends always hover over my sholder and say that my book looks sooo boring. Then they grab the book and insist on seeing what it's about. So I usually just read on the bus or in my bedroom where no one will bother me.

If I've been made fun of, I didn't notice. I was probably too interested in whatever book it was. heart

"That's so LONG!"
"Why do you read? I only read for school."
"This book sounds weird."
Yep, all the time.

I actually have never been mocked for reading books. I guess I'm lucky!
Well, actually, I lie just a little bit; when I was just new to everything, I would find myself struggling to catch up in English and Social Studies, etc, but would be really bored in Math class (my old school had better Math). So I would be reading and doing my homework under the table while everyone else learned whatever it was that we were learning back then in elementary school. But I wasn't teased about the reading so much as the hiding!
Eventually, I grew out of this, and started reading ABOVE the table instead, which caused some obvious problems. But hey, at least I wasn't hunching.
Later on, when I was much better at reading, I would often find strangely-shaped or -colored books and just sit around with them - not really reading, per say, but just ... sitting. Conversation pieces, you see.
(I guess I am cheating a bit in joining this guild, because I had never been an especially avid reader - just really INTERESTED in being avid. rofl )

I have been mocked for reading way to much. I hate it. Many people at my old school thought that it was "un cool" or somthing like that. I dont know. I think they were just being stuped, but yes they did mock me.

Mirren Oh yeah 3nodding That bugging does sound very much like what I'm used to. Or gladly was used to. When I was in secondary school people would make fun of me for always reading thick books. Luckily now in my class at the Uni some other people also read fat books, and actually people are more relaxed at it overal. THat bugging is so anoying, especially when you can't block them out and the story is getting really exiting. me too, only I'm not on the university (Miren is my older sister). Luckily, I can sit somewhere else at school, in the breaks. Once I had a book with me, only 1009 pages. But my classmates stared at me as if I was a complete stranger or an alien. they made pictures, irritated me, like no one else can, and more of that kind of crap.
