Toughness is not being a bully, it’s having a backbone.
I allowed myself to be bullied because I was scared and didn't know how to defend myself. I was bullied until I prevented a new student from being bullied. By standing up for him, I learned to stand up for myself.
The bullying was hideous and relentless, and we turned it round by making ourselves celebrities.
I was the kind of person who got bullied and loved the attention of it.
I realized that bullying never has to do with you. It's the bully who's insecure.
Being bullied is something I experienced in school, and it is not fun.
My own experience being bullied - it made me a more compassionate person. It made me more sympathetic to the adolescent experience.
I think that being bullied is a shameful experience.
