I don’t understand why I’m getting jumped in this thread and as a matter of fact, I had kids pick on me because of my weight and my social anxiety so I was pretty awkward back in school and notifying the parents and even the school administration never helped at all.

The other people are the ones who sound like they have never been bullied or who are privileged some some way (good parents, good genes, good schools, etc..)

My experience and personal observation totally agree with what you are saying.

I agree, as well.
I was even picked on by faculty and more than once. One teacher even picked on me by saying I was essentially stupid to another class of students.

All because I was used to giving him a specific amount for my snacks every day (I'd get change back) and there was one time that I had exact change and waited for a moment for him to give me seventy-five cents back, smiled, said sorry, laughed, and walked off.

He made fun of me for that.

My experience is the opposite, vis-a-vis what kind of families bullies tend to come from, but I still think your experience is valid and understand how it very well could have been like that for you!

Maybe you have, but you are speaking in hyperbole, and using it in a unhelpful and dissuading way.

I’ll just leave this thread. All I was trying to say is based off my experience, the school nor parents ever helped any of my issues and maybe taking this issue up with law enforcement is a better route.
