Being a nerd, in general. I remember being a nerd. An ACTUAL nerd.

I swear to fucking god, if I hear one more person claim you can be "nerd" and be popular, good looking, or have a partner, I swear I'm going to lose it. It's like, gaslighting! No. You are not a "cool" nerd. No, nerds do NOT have girlfriends and healthy sex lives. Nerds do not go to the fucking gym! Nor are they Chads and Stacys. You are a fucking HIPSTER. A douchebag, phony, fake-nerd hipster.

It's annoying as shit, because of the diagram posted below. Now these shitstains have ruined Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, all of American comic books, video games, tabletop games, and everything else that used to be considered "nerd culture." Some of them are both SJW's and actual nerds, instead of the females and phonies who have come in to culturally appropriated (ironically) nerd culture and claim it as "theirs," when they used to mock nerd culture back in high school some 15+ years ago for all of us actual nerds.

I was bullied for being overweight but it seems now many people are overweight I've grown all my life as being Obese and now I do accept myself as a guy who lost over 100 lbs but got to lose more like 60lbs, I believe people should stop being sad and crying about being Obese and learn to accept that this is a major issue of many health problems and get on a diet to lose weight or resort to weight-loss surgery.

I was bullied for being learning disabled (it was the early 90’s when the concept of my disorder-ADD- was still new), wearing glasses, having a NY accent (I moved to Florida for 3 years) and because of the mole on my face. I even kinda got cyber bullied on this site because of the mole recently.
ADD is not something that I can control for starters, my accent is a part of my personality and charm and I love my mole, so I have no problem owning it.

Biggest thing I was bullied for was having glasses and being bigger and more developed than other girls. Now everyone wants to wear "cool frames" and I'm constantly getting asked where I got mine from. Like from my damn optometrist. Tf.

melanieeeB · Answer

My full eyebrows and my small waist

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

Being a geek/nerd and wearing glasses.
Picture it: coke bottle glasses, chubby, and wore baggy, non-fitted clothes because I was insecure with my body.

Let's just say junior high and high school, I was a walking stereotype, lol.

Now you see all these "influencers" and cool people dressing that way or wearing glasses, it's considered trendy 😒

Yet if you're unattractive, it's not cool... yeap, sounds about right.

for being short? i dont think its trendy but people used to make fun of me for being short but at the same time call me cute and pretty, but yeah basically never got bullied other than just being called short

StrawberryShake · Answer

Being super thin. Now that K-pop stars are a thing, it's more attractive I guess. The difference is they are forced to be skinny and go on dangerous "diets" but I just have a super fast metabolism and my body was built that way. I'd still like to gain a lot of weight.

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

I were bullied because I wasn't the most athletic guy, I were really introverted and basically just stayed in my own company.

I had also been deal with bullying because I were one of the quite students in school unlike others kids I haven't goof off at school I mainly focused on my course work so I can get the fuck out of that hell hole.

SaraSmithishere · Answer

Well, I was never really “bullied”, but I’ve always been active, ever since I was a young kid, and I’m really into nutrition and wellness. I don’t think teens cared as much as me, and maybe they thought it was weird that I ate so healthfully and never really indulged in pizza and other junk foods. It seems like healthful eating has now become more trendy, at least in certain social circles.

BazookaTrouper · Answer

Accused of being gay by classmates when I was in middle school where that word was used it as a condemnation when they'd go on their witch hunts to investigate what males are insufficiently aggressive heterosexual horn-dogs. Fast forward to the 9th grade in 2011 and suddenly they're all pro-gay and tolerant. Yeah right.

I saw their true colors that they don't want you to see...

Liking anime. I don't watch it nearly as much as I did when I was a teenager but man... If you watched anime back in the day you must've been some kinda weirdo. Now everyone thinks anime is cool.

Wearing glasses. I still do and have since I was six. I got called every name in the book. Now people wear glasses that don't even improve their eyesight but just as a trendy fashion statement. It pisses me off because I actually needed them to see and half these assholes probably bullied someone at some point for wearing them to see. It infuriates me every time I see someone wearing fake glasses.

Diodoro · Answer

I can't even remember honestly. It was middle school and it didn't last long lol most kids are into a lot of the same shit. They just make fun of other kids for different reasons

WhiteSteve · Answer

Liking rap music (as a white kid), haha. Wouldn’t say I was “bullied” in the strictest sense of the word, but “ostracized” by other white people.

AdithyaR · Answer

Liking anime. Although I'm really happy there's more anime fans and it's more widespread; it does annoy me that people who used to bully and make fun of anime fans are now running around screaming Eren Yeager.

The brands of clothing I wore because they were from Walmart but now kids wear them from more expensive stores even though you can get them cheaper at Walmart. Makes no sense.
