Who was your biggest bully growing up?

Question

Answer

My step dad. Very verbally abusive. I got called “pork butt” “pork ass” daily. Also followed “i hope you choke on it” And “by the time you’re twenty you’ll be barefoot and pregnant.” Occasionally i got shoulder checked in the hallway but mental abuse was more his forte. 
He was pretty good at it too, I still catch myself agreeing with him in my head many years later. 
But i am 24, married, own a home, paid off 2 cars, and ttc #1. 
Where is he? Living with his mother at the age of 65 because he couldn’t support himself after my mom kicked him out. Man what i wouldn’t give to rub my success in his face and watch him “choke on it”.

Answer

My second grade teacher. I can still remember her making fun of me in front of the class because I wasn’t good at coloring. 
One of my high school teachers who stopped in the middle of class and told me to close my mouth because “ I looked stupid. “
If I ever saw both woman again I would not go out of my way to be kind to either. I wouldn’t be mean like them, but they most definitely don’t deserve any sort of kindness from me.

Answer

Primary school after I had a car accident and my looks changed. A car hit me in the face when I was 6, so some of my teeth got pushed back into my gums, and the skin on my chin was scraped off. I nearly died, and was in the hospital for 2 months, by the time I got back to school I obviously looked different than when I left. My self esteem took some real blows, as I was a confident little girl before then, I still struggle to this day with confidence 2bh, even though my looks landed when I was 17, the mental scars have been tougher to tackle.

Answer

I didn't become a bully to myself until middle - high school but mainly cause I grew up being bullied. When I was in elementary school i had poofy frizzy hair, I would literally walk into class and my friend would go "OMG YOUR HAIR!" so the whole class could hear. Thankfully in middle school I learned how to style it. Then at a different school once I got made fun of by a friend because I wasn't allowed to shave my legs and I had dark thick leg hair. Before her saying "omg ew" I didn't know there was anything wrong with it. After that bullying eased up until I was 19 and working at a daycare. My supervisor would harass me all the time and talk to me like a child and once my co workers left to take our class for a walk while i was in the bathroom. I was literally gone long enough to pee. Another time some other co workers were talking about me in front of the kids, I know because a child that was standing by them came over to me and said "miss Jen get off your ass". I was pregnant  while working there with terrible back  pains so I would sit when I was able to and always where I was by the kids. I always thought a daycare would be an open and friendly environment but it was the worst job experience I've ever had, I cried at least once a week while i worked there.

Answer

The kids weren't kind, my brother was an abusive jerk, but the bullying I hated the most was at church. I've had more "Christian's" treat me like I'm trash than anyone else. For one instance, I have a deviated septum which causes a slight whistle when I breathe. When I was fourteen, my Sunday school teacher was reading from the good book and the whistle kicked up. She stopped class and was all like, What are you doing to make that noise? I literally said, Breathing? Her response was, Stop breathing and it was hateful causing me to lose some of my love for Church. I still don't go and it's been ten years. I prefer to worship solo.

Answer

My brother. He called me fat, ugly, stupid...seemed like it was daily. Growing up I was told that's how older brothers are and boys will be boys. And people wonder why we're not close.

Answer

Both, I was always bullied in elementary and high school and I was a bully to myself. Because the kids made me feel like shit and so I thought maybe they were right. I was super chunky when I was younger and I thought it would never change so I always told myself that I was fat and ugly even though family told me I wasn’t but it still stayed in my head all the time.

Answer

In middle school it was my best friend ( I was shy and by high school we stopped being friends because she started avoiding/ ditching me to hangout with her new friends she never introduced me to and then after a while I realized I was better off without her) But then she became friends with my older brother so I started avoiding her. ( I don’t need friends who make fun of my clothing , and think they are doing me a favour being my friend because they think they are way more popular than me.).
