Were you teased as a child?

unfortunately NO :( else, it would have been easier for me to handle the teases i get now ;)

Yes, I was teased and I eventually did the same as you. It worked. I know that isn't the solution for every kid though.

when i was in 7th grade i sat in b/w these two boys in science class, and one said to the other "don't u hate it when flat chested girls wear tight shirts" i was so flat, i didn't even wear a bra of any kind! but payback came when during the summer going to 8th grade, i had this sudden growth spurt that gave me some big B's the one that said it ended up trying to go out with me in 9th grade! i should've known my mom is like a size F. i wear double d's now! but the sad thing is when i was in high school, this kid was in the r.s.p. class, for slow kids, and he used to get made fun of all the time, he used to love that tejano singer selina, so people would tease him saying they killed her and raped her, and when he was in 11th grade he shot himself in the school restrooms! i was already out of school then, but i read it in the paper and i instantly knew who it was, it was so sad just knowing what happened and how it came about! i used to hang out with those people and c them tease him every morning!

I don't think I was ever teased to such a level that it became a proble,. Most kids are teased to a certain degree and how we handle it is alesson for adulthood. There is a danger that we can over protect children nowadays. Though, in saying that, real bullying has to be stamped out.

I was very studious when I was in school.........my batch mates used to tease me by callingme "supersonic" which hurt me very badly...........but i never bothered much abot them and I just concentrated on my studies.........a time came when they stopped doing it........

Yes I was teased many times when i was a child. I can remember how my brothers will protect me and chase the teasers. Luckily Ive got 3 big brothers and we went to the same school together. Even then some kids are really born teasers. I was often teased because i was very thin and i was like a walking paper clip. But it did not really affect me cause i never took the tease seriously.

I am a ugly duckling when i was a kid. And it made cry a lot of times.

I was teased too. It's because I have a lazy eye. I had such a low self esteem. Instead of using my name, kids referred to me as "the kid with the eye". Kids can be so cruel! I just tried to ignore them.

No people didn't really tease my as a kid because my enormous size most of the other kids were afraid of me but one time when i was in 6th grade some kid called me a fagott and i was like hell no and i threw a punch at him and broke his nose and knocked him out all in one punch and the weird thing is i never got in trouble.....

I was lucky as a kid, I was not teased that much. I never had to do what you did. But I think that is almost the only thing that you can do as a kid, you have to earn their respect, and fighting is pretty much the only way you can do it. Reminds me of that scene from A Christmas Story... Good job! Glad you got him to stop.

Yes, I was teased when I was eleven. I too wore thick glasses. I was also very skinny and had very thin hair. All the kids used to call me,"ugly." When I was 22 or 23 I was standing outside the nightclub I frequented to get some air. There was a girl sitting on the sidewalk and called my name. She said,"Do you remember me?" I said, "No, I'm sorry, I don't." I finally did remember her. She said, "Wow you've changed! You look great!" I simply said, "thank you." And that was that, however I did chuckle to myself, because she was one of the ones who picked on me, and I didn't think she looked so good anymore, lol.

I remember I had a fight with a boy once in elementary school and I was beaten badly. So, I told my mom when I went home. Mom just was angry and went to the school to warn that boy she would beat him hardly if he dare bullied me again.

I was teased constantly - when I was in 1st grade I was kicked in the face by a horse that left a pretty nasty scar on my face and I had a bruise eye for a long time. Kids used to call me "Horse Face" or "Scarface" and make fun of me. Thinking back I don't really know why I let it bother me, but it made me really self concious of myself until I was pretty much out of highschool. Even tho after elementary school no one really said anything to me but still, all that teasing always stuck with me.

I was teased by my classmates when i was in 1st grade. Because i let everyone in the classroom know that im falling in love with my seatmate. Where my seatmate is the only prettiest girl in the classroom and fortunately i sat beside her!!!.. Because of my pride that time, my classmates get jealous on me. Right there and then, because they do not know what falling love is...they bullied on me...hehehe

Yes, my parents teased me unmercifully and gave me a lifelong problem of low self-esteem. I now realize that they weren't trying to be mean, but they were trying to be funny, but that still doesn't change the negative feelings about myself that I've had to deal with all my life. For starters, they always made fun of the way I sang. I wouldn't sing in front of anyone after that until I joined a church youth choir with my friends, and they told me that I had a nice voice. They made fun of the way I walked, the way I held my head, my friends, my boyfriends... You name it. And it hurt!

in my opinion we use the wrong language, what looks to an adult as mild teasing is often to a child a devestating eppisode of bullying and should be stamped down on hard whenever it occurs. I was teased mercilessly for years, probably one of the reasons why i carved out a career in psychology. The impact of such teasing can be devastating and is something many adults still struggle with in later life. What we should be doing is examining closely the bullies and working with the families to understand the underlying cause

I was actually teased a lot in school. I was teased for being chubby, for being mentally slow, and i was actually one of the kids who got picked either last or next to last for teams in gym class. I can remember walking home from school one day. I think i was only in the 1st grade at the time. A kid would try to throw rocks at me while i was walking home and one day someone that this kid was walking home with, did actually hit me with a rock. Luckily i didnt really get injured but it hurt. So yes i sure was teased. Kids can be so cruel.

In the middle/beginning of third grade my family moved to a new school district. From that point on I was teased. I never did anything about it, but I think that may be why I didn't want to send my kids to school.

i sure was teased in school.i was short as well as a loser in studies,but i did fairly well in sports.anyways i too did what i thought was right and smacked the guy who used to call me names and the effect was for all to see.he never teased me after that smacking.

yes i was teased for having a scare on the right side of my face and the right side of my face being paralized, at first it bothered me really bad but after i thought of it i just laughed with them. i would tell them thank you. i had one kid that would call me popie the sailor man. LOL i would tell him thank you and i eat me spinage (how ever you spell that)
