What is the daftest thing you ever got bullied about?

[Rainbowknickers]

When I was growing up my parents had bought their house-an ex council house in a street where at least a quarter of the houses where private-and I got bullied all through primary cos ‘your parents have money’ (they didn’t-dad just refused to rent) what was the worst/daftest thing you where bullied for?

My surname, which just so happened to be the same as a much-disliked television character.

The only thing was, I didn't know about the programme at all as we didn't watch it, so I didn't understand what it was all about and thought everyone hated me. I told a teacher that people were calling me nasty names, and the teacher laughed. I was about 5 or 6 at the time. I thought the teacher hated me too.

Wearing glasses?!

Jesus guys bullies are bloody clueless cowards I’m so sorry we all had to go through this-hopefully it’s made us stronger people-sending hugs to everyone xxx

I got called a crumpet relentlessly. A fucking crumpet?

For being good at netball.

For being fat.

This was all aged 9-12 and I truly believed I was fat and have done ever since even though it’s quite clear looking at old photos I was a straight up and down healthy girl.

For having big feet. I used to buy shoes a size too small so they wouldn’t tease me and now I have the most horrendous bunions.

For being in the top reading class.

For running fast.

Our school was shit at dealing with bullying. My time at primary school was so unhappy!

For being a scholarship student.
For being clever.
For having big boobs.
For being good at sports.
For having long legs.
For having the same boyfriend for 5 years.
For playing the saxophone and not a 'cool' instrument.

🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh, and for my DM being in a wheelchair, because obviously I have control over that 🙄

Being tall
Having an unusual name
Having a birthmark on my face

Being tall and skinny.

I was perceived to be posh as I had moved north from the south. "Daddy drop you off in the rolls Royce this morning?" Er no, he had a Morris traveller with rotten wood! Definitely not posh! Also because I could speak French!

I was bullied by my ballet teacher for being tall. She would tell me off for having long legs, she would never acknowledge me in class (I can even remember making deliberate mistakes to get her attention), and she excluded me from group dances in local competitions because I didn't match the height of the others. I hated my height for years and years (I'm 5'9").

My Mum was posh

For having big boobs

For how I said the number 4

being tall.
my name.
my build.
my clothes.
being rubbish at sport.
being rubbish at maths.
just being me.

I got bullied pretty badly but the thing that stand out the most for being absolutely ridiculous was the girls for months whispered behind my back and kept saying "I can't believe you did that", in hindsight I had done nothing but as a 12 year old I was a paranoid wreck, they got other people to join in aswell.

Same here Littleandoften I'm nearly 5'10 and have terrible back trouble now from slouching to try and shrink myself. I used to sleep with my legs curled up tight every night incase stretching out would encourage my legs to grow.

Being a lesbian I'm actually straight

For having glasses (NHS pink vile ones at that), for having strict parents who wouldn't allow me to have fashionable clothes but the worse out of all of it was that I had the temerity to grow boobs and need to wear a bra before all the cool girls did. Blow me did that not go down well.

Having the wrong shoes, the wrong skirt, wearing glasses, having no clue about fashion, having shit hair, living in a terraced house, not having fancy foreign holidays etc.
I hated school.

We had a certain car, another girl in my years family had the same car.
Apparently we didn’t have a car at all and I was pretending her car was ours
That’s actually sounds funny but it really wasn’t - I was a “lying cow”

For being gay. Im not. although Rachel Weizs in the favourite nearly turned me

For being tall, having the wrong accent, wearing straight leg trousers (in bootleg era), for not understanding sexual innuendo, for eating meat in my sandwiches, for having my ponytail low, for being quiet, for saying anything, for trying out a new trend, for cycling to school, for reading a lot...

It stopped when I moved to a college after GCSEs.

Have a mole right dead centre of my forehead. I'm sure you can guess what I was called at school. Some adults are also arseholes. Thankfully I now love it and accept it, instead of wanting to slice it off my head.

For being tiny, skinny and no breasts - (very late puberty -affected me psychologically ever since).

For eating cheese other than cheddar

Because my parents had ‘dinner parties’. Apparently their parents didn’t have friends round for dinner —because they had so many issues and no friends—

Because I had skinny legs and my tights had wrinkles I was called Nora Batty.

So many things.

I got bullied at work in my first pregnancy.... because I had hyperemesis. accused of faking my own pregnancy, faking the sickness and everything!

I no longer work there...I hope one day they experience what I did and think of me!

Being ginger.
Being posh - my parents both worked in factories and we lived in a council house.
My surname.
Being gay - I’m not.
Having spots.
