What is it like being bullied in school?
My experience with bullying was confined to my years in Elementary School and Middle School. Part of the problem was that I was hanging out with people who didn't give a damn about me, and were more than happy to make fun of me.I had only a few instances of being physically abused (an elbow to the face is the only example I can really think of right now), so most of my bullying was psychological.I'm not exactly the strongest kid, and when I was younger, I was really scrawny. So kids would laugh at my failure to do pull-ups, or push-ups, and kids started calling me "Bambi".When I was younger I was what you could call gullible, but more in a way I was too trusting of others. I came in late to class one day and someone told me that the teacher switched my seat, when he didn't.Also, I was called gay quite a bit in Elementary school because I was more expressive than the rest of the boys of my class, even though I'm straight.And all through this, I saw the adults (teachers, principals) fail miserably at even trying to curb against their actions. In fact, it usually made it worse, as the bullies would get little to no reprimand, and as the adults always seemed to think that if we shook hands, then everything was good, which meant they knew who reported them.While I know what I went through is minimal to others ordeals, but I still feel the psychological effects of being bullied deeply ingrained in me. Now, I have a mild case of paranoia, where I literally cannot walk out of a room after talking with people, even good friends, without thinking that they're probably talking about me behind my back. I have a hard time trusting people, and I can say that I ruined at least one chance at a relationship because I thought the girl was leading me on. And my experience has made it very hard to take anything anybody says at face value, I always think that they have an ulterior motive or they're just lying.It's also affected my lifestyle. I tend to prefer doing stuff by myself than in a group, and stay in my room than socialize with others. My group of friends mostly consist of girls, because I still am wary of how other guys treat me. It's also made me super self-conscious and second-guessing what I'm saying, what I'm about to do, stuff like that. It doesn't give me much confidence to go with.With every year that goes by, I do get better, but there's always a little part of my mind that is still paranoid, and it will probably be there for years to come.
