I am in my early 30s now. From childhood, till the age of 18-19 I was bullied alot. Mostly becaue of me being fat. So I was a joke to all the other kids on the street and in school. I also lacked in sports so due to it there were alot of public embarrasment moments. I never called out anybody or stood up for myself so it encourged more people.
During my teens it got worse. Physical bullying started to increase.High school was not a good time for me. Kids used to wet their rags/handkerchief to make them hardended and hit me with it. I got many rashes due it. I was once slapped so hard that both of my ear drums got ruptured. I already had an existent issue with my ears so this time they never truely healed properly. I still dont hear about 40 percent from my left ear.
Where were my parents all this this time? I never really told them. They maybe have heard something once or twice during my childhood and when I was in High school they suspected me getting bullied, but I always denied it. I don’t know why but I never wanted for them to know.

Have you met or seen any of the high school bullies now that you’re on your 30s? If so, what was it like meeting them all these years later?
Went through similar. Life is better now. But I struggle with body image issues to this day and I’m 37.
How was life after high school ?
Sorry to hear that mate. I was also bullied like two years ago… hopefully those guys feel a bit sorry now
I’m sorry that happened to you. Nobody deserves to be bullied. How are you doing now with everything.
How’s your life now? How bad has it affected your mental health? Have you ever bumped into your bullies again?
Man, if I were there I would’ve totally been your friend, and kicked those loser asses. I’m sorry you went through that. I hope life is sweet for you now, and that you’ve found your people ❤️
Why wouldnt you fight back?
I’m so sorry. My heart breaks for what you went through. Have you ever explored why you never felt like telling your parents? Do you have a relationship with them today?
So take some ozymic and glow up put that behind you
I don’t have a question. I just want to express my sympathy. I was a quote-unquote weird kid and got picked on a lot, so I know the struggle.
Do you still get bullied? I’ve seen a ton of bullying in my workplace, and it makes me sad

Sorry my man! You are a lovely person.
I was bullied for just being awkward. Parents knew but too drunk to care.
Did you ever think about doing something like what Dylan and Eric did in 1999?
How are you now?
did you ever have a mean era when you were a young adult? I wasn’t bullied super badly, but I noticed that some of the regular victims ended up having a very aggressive outlook when they were in their early 20s. Many were pretty much always begging for a verbal fight with someone.
It’s understandable, of course. They finally hit an age where the bullying literally cannot continue without actual adult consequences, and what’s a scary part of growing up to everyone else is actually a huge power jump for a kid who was bullied.
Anyway I’m sorry you were bullied my dude, and I’d I were around back in the day, I would have kicked their asses for you just like I did for my siblings. Also kids are fucking trash at processing literally any and all brain activity they experience so I hope with age you start to think back on those horrible moments and see the hilarity in their stupid ass baby insults
like this one girl one made me cry by screaming Harry Potter Pizza Face and as a grown ass human being that’s now my favorite go-to insult for anything that disobeys me.
u/rs735dx did you work at loosing weight?
