Thankfully I am in college now so there are not any bullies that take the piss out of me, but i was bullied very badly when I was in my old high school, they did everything (Beat up, take money ETC) because apparently I was the school nerd and they liked beating me up because I never fight back, and when I asked a teacher to help me out they actually made things worse. I moved far far away from there and went into a new school and when people started to bully me because my accent was different to theirs. (Moving from Kent to the midlands is a big accent change) Once I stood up for myself because I was tired of getting walked all over, sure I got my ass kicked but after that they didn't pick on me, they actually respected my guts and the people who beat me up actually apologized. now 3 years later I am one of those people that everybody knows (As in they all say hi to me even though I have no clue who they are, which gets scary after a while).
The thing that ticks me off now though is that when I am on my way to college some random group of kids start shouting abuse at me, only small insults so I don't rally care, but I'm annoyed that they think it is "cool" to pick on someone they don't even know, one of these days they are going to pick a fight with someone and get there butts kicked.
