Sometimes knowing you are not alone helps. Anonymous said they have been called stupid, fat and other things. What names have you been called and though it hurt, you survived?

They are jealous. If you had horrible grades then they would tease you because you have beautiful hair or a perfect nose. They would tease if you have a full chest or a small chest. They would tease if you had flawless features because they feel flawed. Everyone feels flawed in some sort of way. Flaws change as people get older. Right now they are flawed intellectually so they have to (out of jealousy) try to make you feel bad. I'm not gonna let them make you feel bad! I got a hundred nice things to say for their every one mean thing they want to try! Grrrrr!

I get stupid as well.

Aren't we all " stupid " in some form with something in our lives ?

I try to remember....When someone points a finger at us along with a derogatory name, the hand gesture kind of looks like a gun. Index finger pointed at me and the other fingers curled back point right back at themselves. .... ( hmmm ! )

You nailed it! Plus who is to say who is less smarter then another? I mean some people have years of book smarts and yet others have years of street smarts. Meaning would you put a professor from Harvard on the front line with a seasoned officer? No! I'd want that officer to come to my rescue. Not book boy! But yet if my kids want to be doctors... I want that Harvard professor teaching my kids medicine over that seasoned officer teaching my kids medicine. Neither one are smarter then the other. To me calling someone stupid just shows how stupid the caller is. (Wait a minute... I think that just called myself stupid! 😅) I gotta ponder that one! Maybe I should have said "to me the act of calling someone stupid just shows how unintelligent the caller is!" There we go! 😊 much better! 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅

That's horrible! Do you know wearing glasses is popular now a days? My kids for years asked if I would get them the plain glass (no prescription) glasses to wear because they were in. They even asked if I'd take them to the eye doctor just in case they needed glasses! Lol! It still hasn't gone out of style. I don't think it will go out of style either.

Yep I am being 100% truthful! They are a piece of fashion like ear rings or a hair band. A couple years ago, there was a pair my oldest daughter had bought. Then her sisters ended up "borrowing" them then their cousin ended up "borrowing" them! They went around for a long time! 😊

I'm part of the fat club i loss 100 lbs so far. I need to lose 60 -70 lbs to look good .I been called names from Disco Hippo,  Fat boy,  Big O all cause I'm Big and my last name starts with letter O and i even had this teacher call me that nickname and he should of known better.  I remember his name Mr Grant . I suffered lots of bullying in school from people and even Physical Education Teacher made fun of me.  Once this Physical Education Teacher  Mr Conte  said , well you may be ready for gym class but i don't think it's ready for you. One thing we can say it this way . Sticks and Stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me.

Thanks for sharing your story wow it makes you wonder where this world is going to , i do believe when one wants to change their gender it's all due to them having too much of the other hormone in their body is what makes them want to make a change but who knows i guess it remains to be seen. We live in world you never know what one day to the next will bring and you wonder what makes the brain work the way it does too. SMH!!

I am appallingly insensitive. I have zero sensitivity to when people insult me. Truly, I care more about the price of lettuce in Sarawak. I DO care about the effects of such treatment on people I like.

I have been called fat, b*!@h, dumb blonde.

I grew up near Daytona Beach, which is a beach you can drive on. One day, I was down away from the crowds and walking out to the water and a car drove by and some girl screamed out that I was too fat for my swimsuit. My reaction was why I sometimes got called the B word. I screamed back that she needed some f___ing manners.
