[Augenblick]

I was bullied all the way through primary school...although I did my best not to admit it at the time. It wasn't anything serious - teasing, mostly, and the rest of my class basically acted as if I didn't exist. I was the freak, geek, weird kid - still am, but I've learned to enjoy it . I was really shy at that point - REALLY shy, I hardly talked to anyone. So I probably acted as if they didn't really exist either =P I wasn't a happy kid, but it's only now I'm starting to realise that the tiny, stupid little things actually stuck with me. If someone asks me to introduce myself now, my first response is 'Amy. Probably human. Bit weird, pretty boring, shy, geeky. But I don't bite.'

I agree with Lilly - laughing about it really helps. I have a few good friends who always cheer me up, too. And talking back. Being the Quiet Kid, it's sooo funny seeing the looks on people's faces when you swear right back at them =D
