When I was young I was bullied for being weird. I wasn't bullied physically but people used to point at me and whisper things like 'hey look it is that weird kid', 'it's that shy and weird girl' and they used to laugh at me. I started getting bullied when I was in 4th grade and I was a really shy person. Even myclass teacher  thought that I was creepy and she screamed at me about how irresponsible and stupid I was so I hated her and many other people. Right now I am in 11th and people still call me the weird girl but now I really don't care. I try not to think about what others say because I like being myself. I don't want to be a part of the crowd so I like sticking out and being noticed, now I am not at all shy but I am funny and I like doing things to make people laugh but there are still some people who think that I am creepy but I just think of it in another way, maybe they are just jealous that I can make so many people laugh and that thought always makes me feel better. In the past people used to underestimate me and think that I was a loser but later on I thought 'hey I should stop being shy, maybe I should come out of it and show them that I can talk to people. If people still insult you just laugh about it and show them that you don't care, then they will stop making fun of you and they might start respecting you. It is working for me so maybe you should give it a go. I am grateful that I haven't experienced the physical form of bullying and what I experienced doesn't sound like I suffered but I honestly did. If you are physically being bullied just stand up for yourself and show the bully your strenght, don't get depressed about it and get all those dark thoughts out of your head, you have to show those bullies who is the boss.
