In my case, I was exceedingly awkward, had low self-esteem, was weak and short and didn't know how to fight, had terrible fashion sense, pretended to be dumb and pretended to be interested in the "Cholo" lifestyle in order to try to fit in with the rest of the idiots there, which I failed at miserably because I just didn't fit in and it just wasn't me, and it could be seen from miles away.

I also had NO achievements or anything to be proud of, which further contributed to low self-esteem and self-worth.
I've radically changed since then, with the only thing nearly identical being my height.
To those who were bullied in school: what caused the bullying?
I didn't speak American English so well and was extremely rebellious. I actually excelled in sports and wasn't your typical weak target physically but I fit the target socially. I was extremely awkward socially like at first, people ask me "Wassup?" and I don't know what the means. I kept saying, "Hello!"
So I pissed some people off along with being all awkward socially doing things like tackling them to the ground at PE. I think that's kind of a weird thing like tackling prom king to the ground repeatedly while being all socially awkward and not understand much English. And I had a bad attitude because he'd get up and call me fag or something and I'd try my best to talk back in broken English. He didn't like my attitude.
So I got jumped a lot including one time when I accidentally broke a boy's arm. Actually, everyone thought I was like some martial arts master because of my Asian blood but I didn't have that background and I just moved my arm to block when we lunged at me and I think I got like a one-in-a-million lucky movement where I accidentally broke his arm. Things escalated from then on.
That one-in-a-million swipe thing I did that broke an arm got lots of attention so I developed a further rep for being some martial arts master. But that got me in way more trouble because one time these people I thought were so friendly to me invited me out to recess and they all circled over me. Then they attacked me and I couldn't fluke some martial arts miracle a second time. So I just got beat up.
Even after I got all beat up and down on the floor, the martial arts rep thing stayed with me so I got jumped a lot after still -- in the halls, at recess, after school... including one time after school that I got a gun pointed at my face while a girl was screaming and probably saved my life convincing the guy to leave me alone. I just seemed to have this rep for making trouble even though I was mostly trying to keep my head down.
I was the overly intelligent guy. I always had straight A's. I never sucked up to the teacher.. But because i didn't talk like everyone else. Because i refused to get into trouble.. I was bullied a lot, to the point where several guys chose to beat me up a few times.. It ended badly for them but thats a different story.
I honestly feel bad for them. The VAST majority of the people that bullied and abused me in school, and later on in foster care are either extremely low value people, and either dont have jobs or have shit low paying jobs.. Or are in prison..
Most of my friend group turned against me and started bullying me because they found out the guy one of them had a crush on liked me. Then I expressed my distaste for religion and stopped believing. Then i was incredibly obviously a tad gay. Then I got new and better friends. Left school because of how relentless they all were.
Because I was chubby and considered an easy target. Middle school was extremely tough for me because the boys were relentless with the teasing It got to the point that I would cry and beg my mom to let me stay home everyday. I was suicidal and miserable at 10 years old. It was bad.
For me, in highschool it was because I came off as weak and a loner, in reality I was dealing with childhood trauma. Basically before highschool I would get into fights all the time because in order to cope with my childhood trauma I would convert fear into anger and was for all intents and purposes a berserker, something would happen and a switch would flip and suddenly I would just be fighting anyone and every one (Half the time I was experiencing gray outs, I basically was unaware of what was happening and operating on pure instinct so I was not really in control of myself). By the time I got to highschool I had become afraid of myself and started to bottle up my emotions (going the exact opposite direction which was equally unhealthy) which because highschool kids are stupid they took as a sign of me being weak instead of a sign of me trying not to snap and potentially kill some one. Fun times.
I was the new kid. I was one of the only black kids. I was found cute by some of the girls. I tried hard in school and made them look bad with my good grades. I was more athletic than many and made it a point to show it. I pushed back against the leader of them because I wasn't gonna be a bitch. I didn't get bullied per se in that they regularly fucked with me, but I didn't have any friends during middle school b
Because I was outcast day one when a kid tried to pick on me and I stood up to him. They also made sure other new kids wouldn't be my friend because of it.
Highschool was great for me. Middle school not so much

I look around at other students, I was shy so they took a part of my weakness and they physically abused me and verbally abused me, maybe I should file a lawsuit against the school district my mother was always calling the guidance counselor in school cause of me being bullied
I think I was bullied for a few reasons. I was quiet, shy and small growing up so I think it made me an easy target because I didn't look like the one to fight back or defend myself. It sucked, wasn't fun.
A fat big pricked tried to intimidate me once because I was very small compared to him in 2nd grade til my friend punched him his mouth for me.
Besides, that point I was never bullied. I was more than willing to fight and did fight a lot growing up. I wasn't no sissy boy who was going to be punked around.
Short chubby goody-two-shoes. Also cause my parents got a divorce, but around that point I switched sides (I had muscle it was just a layer below the surface) and started bullying them and some other kids instead.
Bullys project their ineptitudes onto other people. Especially those who are vulnerable. Vulnerability makes anyone or anything susceptible to an attack or theft. The best defense is good offense
My brother was popular and would humiliate me. Then another group of mean girls hated me because I smiled at one of their boyfriends. They all ended up joining forces and made my life hell. They literally all blame me for this to this day. They lied about so much. Bullies are just narcissists, children.
It wasn't at high school but it was at college and there was a bit of cyber bullying and one women theated me and some women in My tried to become friends with me to just used my trust to get closer to guys that I did have a relationship with.
I got a bully at my work place and I even told the manger and they didn't do nothing but move me around. I also kind got verbal abuse by a member of staff forcing me to full day of work too scare and I was crying and she didn't even listen at all. Ans I wanted to go home. wnd I did tell that my mum about. The manger there is are women and they tried to find my ego to stay in the job place that. i dislike.
99.9percent of the time the cause is u being a weak coward n not standing up for urself, i was bullied 3 times n know i could of prevented them all if i jus told bully to fuck off or something.. only when i stood up n fought back did they leave me alone
