I was bullied in elementary school and middle school, but not in high school after I hit puberty. Bullies just want to pick on people they think are 'weak'. I was also bullied during college, but very subtly. I was a depressed, numb kid with no direction or sense of purpose in life, minding my own business. I had difficulty 'growing up', i still felt very much like a kid, other kids used to call me an 'old person', because I wasn't like them, I didn't dress 'hip', I didn't smile, I didn't seek attention and I wasn't popular with girls. I was too numb to get too upset about it back then, but looking back, it kinda hurts that people were so mean to a depressed young kid who never hurt anyone. Maybe I was a bit awkward, but I was a nice kid.

I'm 24 now, I still get judged based on my appearance now. I got pretty sick a few years ago, lost 20 pounds in about a month, I was too numb with depression to care for myself, I didn't have a friend in the world, lived away from family. I took too long to realize that my health was deteriorating, took me even longer to gather enough determination to go the doctor. I was blessed with good looks when I was younger, now I've lost it. People either ridicule me or look at me with pity, so I've always been bullied in one form or another. I just can't fit in. I'm constantly being judged.
