What makes you the way you are?

[xlindee]

 

I got bullied for a lot of things, and happened from infant school, through junior school, and all the way through senior school.

As some of you know I was - and still am - best friends witha guy. We got teased and everyone thought we were boyfriend and girlfriend, and pretty much got the kissing song everyday "Caroline and Charlie, sitting in a tree...K-I-S-S-I-N-G..."

Charlie was always physically abused and I was the ONLY person who had the gall to stick up for him. It got worse in senior school - this guy started on Charlie when we were about 12 which resulted in Charlie going home for lunch afterwards to avoid the bullying. Then halfway through year 10 - when we were about 13? 14? - Charlie left school completely and got home schooled. Then, a year later, Charlie moved two hours away to get away from the bad history and I haven't seen him since May 14th last year - our first Mika concert - because we both have college and work, and neither of us drive.

Throughout school I was verbally abused; they poked fun at my hair, got groped, had this one guy (occassionally two) trying to provoke me so that they could laugh at my reaction (they only continued when i ignored them, i couldn't win), I got called "a f***ing ugly ginger c**t"...actually i was called ugly on numerous occassions, got called posh because of the way I speak....

 

All pointless and stupid things. I tried my best to ignore their comments and let it wash over me like water on a ducks back, but not anymore. The slightest remark that someone makes and they get a full blown attack right back at them (depending on my mood) and make them shut up. I NEVER started anything, neither did Charlie, but I make sure as hell that I stop it.

 

I was also teased when Charlie came out as gay and because I fancied the popular guy. I heard rumours that he fancied me back and the whole year knew he didn't apart from me, so I was made a complete fool in front of everyone and couldn't go down the corridor without hearing his name. It was downright awful, and was the main reason as to why I never went to my prom. Which, actually, I've never, EVER, regretted. I hated so many people so what's the point in going to a prom with a bunch of people you'd rather see the back of? It would have been untrue of me if I went, and I've never looked back.

I hate narrowminded people:thumbdown:

Actually, those are very stupid reasons to bully someone.

I know what it feels like to get bullied. I used to be fat (when I was like, 10, 11 years old) but then I suddenly grew a lot and got thinner.

It always felt like I didn't fit in. I was always ''The fat ugly one.''

I was one of the smartest girls of my class, yeah. The teachers always gave me compliments.

Those were other reasons for the kids to bully me.

They used words to bully me, but they also pushed, kicked and hit me.

That was probably the reason why I became more shy. I always felt as if people were looking weird at me and talking about me, and sometimes I still feel like that. When other people look at me I think: What's wrong with me? Does my hair look weird? Can you see my underwear?

I still feel like I don't fit in, but I feel a lot more confident, and less ugly.

You must try this:

 

 

It's called absolute dry . You put it on and then you don't sweat for a week . It hurts while applying it but it's sooo woth it! haha.

 

 

Ypu do sound really to hang with. happyness is the thing!

Thank you so much!!!!

I've tried tons of non sweating deodorants but they work a tiny tiny bit and then I sweat again. Thank You so much!! I will definitely try that!

I wonder if they'll have it in the US...

 

Yep, happyness makes most things better.

I was bullied too. But it made me stronger. I was shy when I was like 9, 10 years old. But then, when kids started to bully me, I started to fight back. Now I'm not shy and I don't care what you think about me. I think that helped me to became what I am now.

And I also feel like I don't fit in. So I decided that I don't fit in anywhere. That sometimes makes me feel bad, but I'm getting used to it, and for me it's not as bad as it seems.

I forgot to mention the fact that my eyes are almost black so people struggle to see my pupil:naughty:

Well...that's quite interesting.

This is a nice thread Let's see, what makes Babzz Babzz

 

I'm obsessed with music, especially rockmusic, and if I REALLY love a band or artist I will do anything for them and travel anywhere to see them. For me there's nothing more amazing then being at a gig and rocking out.

 

I only ever fancy musicians. Yeah go on, call me a groupie

 

I have a thing with ladybugs and have one tattood on my foot. If I see something with a ladybug on it, I have to buy it.

 

I love everything that is red with white polkadots.

 

I make fishbags.

 

I'm in love with England, especially London. I wish I was born there, but second best is to move there once (and marry some hot British rocker )

 

I used to have really really really big boobs, H-cup and I wasn't overweight, they were just big. But I had them reduced to a D-cup. Before the operation I hated myself, I thought I was the ugliest person ever to be alive, now I'm happy and confident. So yeah, I'm 100 % pro plastic surgery. If you have anything to say against that, don't bother I couldn't care less.

 

I like writing and reading slash fiction (go google if you don't know what it is...) It may be considered controversial or perverted, but every man watches porn on the internet and that is considered perfectly normal. Writing really good slash is an art

 

I play guitar, I used to be in a band but we split up last year. I'd love to be in a really awesome all-girl glamrock band Also I'm a very skilled airguitarist and plan on participating in the Dutch Airguitar Championships next year.

 

I do things my own way. I don't believe you need degrees and diploma's to be someone.

 

 

 

Btw I think it's really cute that all you American girls are virgins until marriage. No chance over here

personally, i think its pathetic to bully anyone for any reason, but im sure that's what you're trying to say.

At senior school I withdrew myself a lot. I, too, was known as the goody-two-shoes and teachers picked me out for things. don't get me wrong, i had a few friends and had a few acquaintances, but when you're bullied (even the tiniest bit of name calling) it takes over everything you know. I didn't think it was that bad when I was that school, I didn't even think it affected me, but looking back it damaged more than I realised.

I was very quiet at school, very shy. I was scared to do a lot of things which, actually, held me in very good stead.

I never drank, never smoke, never lost my virginity to some random, never stole, never did anything stupid. I sometimes had those kinda people trying to rope me in but I always said no because I was too scared, but it's something I'm proud to admit. I'm glad I never did it, I would have been ashamed of myself if I did. I stayed true to myself as much as I could - i didnt even wear makeup because everyone else was, and i didn't want to be like everyone else. because i got bullied, i did wonder why people didn't like me and i guess i wanted to try and be friends with as many people as i could, but because i turned them down i never got them....not like they're the type of people to be friends with anyway.

So yeah....I didn't really talk an awful lot in school, but now I'm quite chatty, love meeting new people, doing different things, going to different places etc, and I'm more than happy to prove that I won't be taken for a ride.

well, depending on my mind. I'm often chatty but I'll have my quiet moments too, when I'm in a daydream/philosophical mood.

I used to be fat too (when i was 10 and 11) then i somewaht thinned out. dont get me wrong, kids still call me 'fat chick' and im no size 0, but im not fat and unhealthy either. the way i look at it: you can either be comfortable with your body and live a happy life/ or you can be an unhappy anorexic/bolemic/depressed person withj no self esteem. and that gets you nowhere in life except for a hospital.
