Much of my school experience involved bullying on a regular basis (as the victim). To be honest, because of bullies, my view of humanity and myself became cynical in general. Even my own father bullied me (but that's another topic). Even in elementary school I was bullied for being short and having a "different" last name.
Due to the bullying, I became shy and more and more introverted. I remember a time—during elementary school—when I would get into fights (more defending than anything). I never lost a fight, but it certainly didn't feel good to have physical attacks coming at me.
The worst physical act of intimidation was when this kid who was 1-2 years older than me and a lot bigger pulled out a knife and said he would slit my throat". My reaction was to go to the bus driver (where it occurred) and tell him about it.
I have many stories and theories about why bullies bully. I want to do a decent amount of blogging on the subject. If you want to read my content, click on the 'bullying' label at the bottom of this post.
