Bully or Bullied?

Were you a bully or were you bullied (or maybe even currently!) at school, work any place of social interaction?
I was bullied during most of my school years, but finally came to terms with it during high school. I did not hit back at them (bullies), but rather developed this strong, keen sense of sarcasm, whereby I would drive them away with getting personal. I know, I know, it's not something that I'm proud of at the moment, but I acted out of desperation during the situation. And it definitely does not justify the situation.
Do you have any similar experiences?

I was never physically bullied, but throughout elementary and middle school, there were always some kids who would find any way to make fun of me, even if it was something stupid. Then I realized something one day. It happened during my art class in 7th grade. There was a "cool" person who was way to self-centered. He came up to me and said. "You are a loser. You have NO friends. You could never be cool." Then I realized that all of their comments were only a vain way to try to make themselves feel better. I also realized that I had only seen this kid walking down the hall with 2 other kids before, even though I had friends no matter where I was going, so his comments were completely unjustified.
I don't know if this is why or not, but I use sarcasm all the time also. Sometimes my friends get mad because they can't tell online!

Luckly for me I have never been bullied when I was young because I have always been a big kid and I think that most people would be affraid to bully me and if they were smart they wouldnt because I can and would make there lives a living hell if they every bully me but I have had a friend that use to be bullied constantly when he was a kid now he hardly gets bullied.
