Who hasn't?

I just ignored the petty name calling.

n.n

Answer 2

I Got Teased About Being Skinny And Till This Day I Still Do, I Just Forgot About It Because It Wasn't Like They Were Telling Me Something I Didn't Know..

Answer 3

I was teased about being skinny, nerdy and not good looking.

Now all the people that teased me are fat and ugly. Last time I saw one of the girls that used to tease me she was damn near drooling all over me.

Tough it out, high school is just a bad time in life. When you get older you will look back at high school and laugh at how stupid everything was.

Answer 4

Teased & more, and not just in high school. I was bullied & made fun of for years (and sometimes, I still am, even though I'm 33 years old), the earliest age I can clearly remember is 5.
I used to sometimes cry about it, sometimes I'd just forget about it.

Answer 5

Not in high school, but I did when I was in middle school b/c I was the only poor kid in school with a bunch of rich f**kers. It hurt me a lot and I would cry every day, but I would wait until I got home b/c I did not want them to see they hurt my feelings. I will make sure to teach my son that its not okay to pick on someone just b/c they cant afford to shop at Abercrombie & Fitch or whatever store is popular at that time.

Answer 6

Yes.
Once, while walking down the hall after lunch, a guy walked up to me, threw his arm around me and kissed me on the cheek.

I immediately felt elated that someone cared at all about me... but then I felt a hard shove from behind me and all these guys surrounded me, laughing, telling the one guy, "There's your girlfriend!"

I guess I should have laughed along with them, but I was so hurt and so angry, that I started cussing at every one of them, which made them laugh all the harder.

I was not a rule-breaking kind of a girl, but that day, I walked to the parking lot and asked a girl I recognized (one of my bro's girlfriends) to please take me home. I cut school for the rest of the day that day.

The one thing that is very tender and still in the early stages of development when we are teens, is our self-esteem.

I'm in my 40's, now, and my skin is much thicker and my self-esteem is no longer based on what other people think of me.

Answer 7

I have very light strawberry blonde hair which I truly love now. But, back then everyone thought it was so strange and I was teased in middle school. I wanted brown hair back then. I just ignored the kids. Never cried about it.

Answer 8

All the time high school is a cruel place but remember there for youself so dont take it serios life really happens in college and people get over the high school game.

Answer 9

All the time. I tried so hard to be the person that I thought "they" wanted me to be. I dressed as the "preppie" one month, the skater, the stoner (which at the time I didn't even know what a stoner was). I finally decided who cares what people think about how I look. I dressed in whatever I had clean from that point forward.

Hope this answer helps ya

Answer 10

I remember this popular girl once said in front of everyone that I had a big nose! Don't cry about it...forget about it! It seemed like a big deal back then now that popular girl really is a nobody and no one will ever remember that!
