this is more of a vent/rant thread for me, but i'm curious if other users share or at least relate to certain experiences i've had.
i was judged for the clothes i wore and how i fixed my hair.
i had precocious puberty growing up and developed acne earlier than my peers. they would very often tease me for it, and a group of friends once grabbed me by the arms and face to count the pimples on my cheeks.
on other ocassion, i went to hang out in the area where the alumni played ping-pong. a few kids were already there and one of them reffered to me as "acne girl" out of the blue.
still, i hung out with certain groups of peers and casual friends because eating alone made you weird.
with one group of friends, grabbing my glasses and making fun of my face wasn't uncommon. neither was eating from my lunch without my permission.
this same group invited me to a pijama party, where i ended up sleeping on a mattress without a blanket or pillow. none of the girls asked if i was comfortable, and i was very cold. they either slept on the bed or on the mattress with at least a blanket and two pillows. aside from that, none of the girls interacted with me during the whole night.
tired of them, i tried hanging out with a different group of kind students i knew. half-way through lunch-time, they left the spot where we were eating to go do something. i was alone for some time, and when i saw them again, they walked past me, completely forgetting that i was still waiting for them.
i didn't tell anyone when these things happened, except my parents, who would often brush it off as "dark humour". that was until i started saying that i wanted to die and attempting to harm myself.
when this happened, they gave me a psychologist and personally went to the school to talk to the administrators.
MANY parents were called, but by the time this happened, my mom had already recieved a new job offer (coincidentially) and we were moving states. i wasn't in that school anymore, so no student could complain to me that i got him or her in trouble. that's the main reason why i didn't tell the school beforehand: i knew the students would get mad at me.
