Hmmm, I may be one of the odd ones out of the crowd here. I was one of the most bullied kids in my entire school up until high school. I would say roughly 80% of it was racially based, and the remainder was about my height. I got bullied in high school, but not nearly as much as in elementary and middle school. I never stood up for myself because I was always so strictly taught to follow the religious teachings I was raised with. That an eye for an eye was barbaric, and I shouldn't hate people who did wrong to me. I was told it would eventually end, but it didn't. People thought I was weak, defenseless, and a lot probably thought I was stupid.
In high school, I was bullied physically as well, but I resisted this bullying. Problem was that the teachers were jerks and didn't pay attention or care that it was happening. I was hit with sharp metal objects and was threatened with a knife more than once for merely standing up for myself.
