Absolutelly, as a kid I was bullied as well and what that happened  was not suicide or insanity, it was:

1 - Self-observation to understand if part of the criticism was deserved. Most of it really was.

2 - Effort to overcome part of the weakness.

3 - Accepting the weaknesses that were not fixable (like being a short guy).

4 - Realizing my place in the social arrangement and finding ways to get into the spots I wanted.

5 - Growth, understanindg the social fabric.]

Most of this was unconscious, cause it was simply the process of growing more mature and becoming a adult.

Don't you think you could've done all that without being bullied?  Why don't we try and teach people to realize and overcome their weaknesses without being assholes?

Yes, the middle of the road is always the best path in these scenarios. What I have seeying SJW doing is saying we should own all of our weaknesses, which I disagree with: if I smell, taking a shower is the way to go, not owning my smell. If I am fat, then change of eating habits and exercise, not only owning.

However, with the weaknesses that are not fixable, we have to see them as they really are, or else we become a easy target to bullies. 

For example: when people make fun of me for being kinda short, I just say "Indeed, tall guys look cooler, but nothing I can do about it". People usually realize that this is true and relax. I won many girls with that line in my atheist days.

If I start to scream and jump saying that is hateful, I will be ridiculous and people will rightfully laugh.
