Is There Anyone Here Not Bullied In School ?

I was never bullied in school.

The fact that I went to a small school (graduating class of 70 people) and my intelligence together actually made highschool a very pleasant experience.

I never really got bullied, because news spread quickly at my school, and anyone who would've bullied me didn't because they didn't want the student council (who were smart, popular, related to teachers, as well as friends with me) to find out about it.

Everyone knew that all the teachers, especially the ones who wouldn't hesitate to bomb someone's grade, liked me. (One of them literally would address me as "the king") Besides that, most of the people knew that I knew how to pick locks.

But honestly, I was well liked in school. My intelligence let me pull off some impressive pranks and everyone knew I wouldn't hesitate to help someone understand something in their homework.

I was quite blessed, in fact, I actually miss highschool.

I once ignored someone who tried to bully me who was actually a lot bigger than me. He moved on to a target he could read.

Bullying wasn't as bad at my actual school as it was online. At school wasn't a really major problem. I did get into online communities that would have members who were bullies, and I used to get extremely mad. But in retrospect, I don't think the online virtual bullying was as severe as I thought it was then.

I was never bullied. Is it easier for girls to blend in?

What I see as a teacher is that people who have severe and obvious challenges are not really bullied because the other kids get it. It's the people who are just a little off that get targeted. Like the NT kids can sense the other kid doesn't understand that they're being mean so they dig in and push the limits.

I went to a small private catholic school k-8. There was no opportunity for it. The classrooms were all in the same short hallway. We went from class to class. There were no free periods. I always stayed inside during recess reading. I didn't really interact with the other kids. I was just a quiet kid that mostly no-one noticed. The nuns were very very scary. Even on the buses, if kids started stuff the driver pulled over and got up. It was all very strict. I guess I got teased for things. I had the nickname "tedious" for an entire year for using the word in a pedantic reply to a teachers question.

In high school, not being diagnosed at the time, I had a lot of problems at home, and I got really into drugs. I had a "pack". They weren't really friends. I used to punch people for touching me. I punched a kid in the head once over some minor incident so there was also the whole "he's crazy" deterrent. It took me six years to graduate.

College ... well, it was so big I just kind of flew under the radar. Every class was a different group of people and classes changed very few months so no-one knew me. I expect everyone was too absorbed in academics and no-one had time for that kind of childishness. Those were my best school years.

I wasn't really bullied at all. There were a few small incidences, though nothing serious.
I probably made it through due to being so quiet I had multiple people ask if I ever spoke. I was almost always reading, either that or with my friend. I was mostly known as either "friend's name"'s friend or "boyfriend's name"'s girlfriend. My friend probably also helped deter unwanted attention as she was (still is ) bubbly, crazy, loud, and was friends with people who could and would beat you up if you messed with them or their friends. Also, in general we were part of the misfits group, which was made up of subgroups that overlapped with certain people, that consisted of goths, metalheads, artists, punks, druggies, furries, geeks, nerds, gamers, etc.

So, rambling made short, I really think being nearly invisible and being a part of a rather large group of misfits (albeit a very quiet part) was the main reason I was left alone.

Edit: I have to add that taking advanced classes could also have helped as most of the people in those classes were there to learn, not cause trouble.

I'm unsure of whether I'm actually autistic(probably am but idk), but I was never bullied at all, I guess because I was practically invisible to everybody.

I have never been bullied in my life so far.

I was never bullied. Looking back, it still baffles me that I wasn't since I never had any friends but I was always just left alone. I played by myself, ate lunch by myself, did everything by myself and I don't remember any instance where I was ever picked on. I can only attribute it to the fact that I was always so much in my own head that I wasn't much of a target- there was simply no way to get any kind of reaction out of me. I also viewed myself intellectually equal to adults from a very young age so I stood up straight, kept my head high, and acted so overly mature that if anyone had tried to pick on me, I would have done little more than raise an eyebrow at them for being so childish.

That's about all that I can think of, though. The only other thing that might have helped me is that I was so content to be by myself that I never even made an attempt to play with other kids. I imagine it's hard to pick on a kid for being friendless who hasn't shown any signs of wanting friends in the first place.

I feel like I wasn't bullied any more than the average student, though I only attended grades K-8 before going to college. I think the biggest form of bullying was when the teachers would give me more severe punishments compared to my peers, due to my analytical personality. My more impulsive, emotional peers could get away with more, as long as they promised to try and control their emotions next time.... whereas my analytical personality prevented me from getting away with as much.... I guess the teachers assume that someone with a more analytical personality should know better, but if that's the case, then why aren't aspies automatically appointed positions of leadership?

Don't remember much about middle school & junior high (except the fact that people just pitted me which I hate the most), I did have one bully who stalked me a lot & he would be sarcastic about wanting to be gay with me...that started around 2010 (I think) & ended around September of 2013 during first semester of my junior year in high school.

Their were other bullies too (even in high school too) but hopefully karma will get them eventually.....I doubt karma will get them though.
