Answer 1

True. Geez...this is going to be a huge list. But...I was made fun of for...

--Being too fat,
--being too poor,
--being "too smelly",
--talking "too prissy" (using good grammar, not cussing),
--being "too smart",
--being "too nice",
--dressing too poor,
--being called "pizza face" for having bad skin days,
--talking funny (being the new kid in school, moving in from out of state, so I had a dialect, yeah),
--being called a wuss, crybaby, a momma's boy,
--being an over-aggressive half-psycho to *compensate* for the "wuss, crybaby" crap,
--For wearing dress slacks to school when other kids wore jeans (my folks couldn't *find* cheap jeans in my size...and the ones they found always shrank),
--For wearing horn-rimmed glasses (and being called "Clark Kent")....and on rare occasion (once or twice total) having to tape the frames together until I could get a new pair from the eye doctor. -_-

I got this crap at school *and* at home from my own family.

And yeah, it left scars. ^_^ Sorry. But hey, I get it now.

People will reject you unless you're young, tiny, cute and/or rich. They will, that's all they do. I get that. ^_^

Hey, whatever works, you know? Whatever lets you sleep at night. Good Question by the way....

Answer 2

False

Answer 3

Oh yeah, I've was called toothpick, zit face, no chest (still am very small, but that's what the good lord gave me, so it's all good). I'll tell you what, a lot of these same people look terrible now (I'm 53) and I'm told how good I look for my age, people can't believe I'm as old as I am, but that's because I take care in my health . I don't use fancy creams, just good old face cream, but I live a clean and healthy life. I've been told I look about 40-45 at the most and they all look like old men now. Who's laughing now, me. Only I don't gloat about it. I'm me and that's all I can be.

Answer 4

False

Answer 5

TRUE...MONKEY! Cause I had hairy arms! Sniffle, sniffle.... I tried everything from bleaching to shaving. (don't try that one). It did really hurt when I was a kid. But, now that I'm out of the cruel school environment, I really don't care. If I don't notice, then other people don't either. And I found out that arms were quite a way down on the list of what men noticed on the radar.

Answer 6

True...

My nickname is Krissy, so I was called Pissy a lot...

I also had a teacher at school call me crusty (a play on words for Kristy...I'm assuming)...I'm not sure why for sure other than he thought he was being funny...last I could tell, I wasn't really crusty...

I got made fun of a lot for my last name as well. The spelling of it as well as how it actually sounded made for great laughs, I guess...

Answer 7

Not when I was a kid but ever since I came to America I can count over 30 women who have called me a chink or a coolie

Answer 8

True: People from school always admired me but my parents called me every name in the book. They put me down and really damaged my mind. They were mad at each other and took it out on me. I'm grown now and still affected by it.

Answer 9

True. I was teased in elementary school because I had acne and a broad nose (I still hate my nose to this day lol).

Answer 10

True. But it was a one-time thing. "Indian Giver" I gave someone candy but somebody else wanted it, so I gave it to him instead. We're such nice little kids.
