I got bullied for most of my life because I was small, geeky, and actually cared about school. I'm also bisexual. Because of these things, I was constantly bullied as a kid and I still am. It took me a little while to realize that I was still being bullied after I changed schools because "bullying" at my new, private school consisted of spreading vicious rumors about people you didn't like, whereas at my elementary school, "bullying" was name-calling, pushing, and fighting. I stood up for myself in elementary school, but by the time I got to high school, I didn't care anymore and all the rumors really wore on me. Now that I'm in college, I'm wiser and stronger.
