Do people laugh at you when you get angry?

Yes.

Back at vocational school, whenever a bus runs late, I would feel angry and cry out of frustration. The other students would make fun of me and imitate my crying, upsetting me even more. They claimed to have forgotten about it later, but would continue anyway.

I'm not gonna lie, it was the hardest two years of my teenage life.

As a kid and teen, yes, but I think that was more about them than me. Apathy and cruelty is just a bully thing. They just pick on easy, reactive targets. When I grew bigger, showed that I wasn't afraid of getting physical, and stopped reacting to them, I faced a lot less bullying.

Sad to say that the method I work with is just to make them afraid of me, one way or another, or to proverbially walk away as far as I need to to get them out of my social environment.

As an adult, and having grown up under constant bullying, I now also understand the culture of hazing and the kinds of people whom expressions of anger and annoyance aren't effective against. I just learned to treat them differently.
