The timing of this is amazing. I only just got home after discussing with my daughter's school principal the long term effects of myself being bullied, to see Shadowfate's comments about his son's ordeal. Then I read of Bamakyttn's and Marlborodasreds's experience of racial intolerance.

In my own case, I was seriously bullied for three - four years due to a lazy eye.

Jseal has it right, the world is very intolerant of differences unfortunately.

well first of all thank you to all who of you who feel as bama and i do. to say i was bullied would be the mother of all understatements. i was rather small as a child well behind the avg height but damn i was fat. and i mean honking huge. i was bullied by someone who never should have bullied me. when i hit my freshman year in highschool is was 5'3 and just over 400 lbs. at this point is was just a matter of my height need to catch my weight. i had already been running with my dad when he had time 3 to 5 miles a day and had been in and out of martial arts scince i was 7 or so. i just could not stop from gaining weight. first day of school someone found out my real first and middle name. and was making fun of me for it. first i ignored it then tried to walk away then tried to laff with them it didn't work. so me being the kind loving peaceful person i am i headbutted him in the nose and asked him if he was done. Bastard threw me head first into a locker. that was when i found out if you keep laffing no matter how bad it hurts it scares people. anyhow when the summer came i shot up almost a foot to 6'2 and topped out at 6'6 have not been bullied scince then. no idea why. but yeah i hate bullies and to all those who were bullied remeber sometimes we just get a late start on being better people.
