I was a geek at school I guess (I like comic books, I was in the top 10% of my class in most subjects) - but no one ever picked on me especially.
It isnt an excuse for it, but most people are bullied because they are the people who are least able to stand up to it. People used to make fun of my weight at school - and if I had got upset about it it probably would have gone on more cos people want a reaction out of it, but if you just come back with "your mum didnt complain about my physique the another night mate, what a filthy slut..." or whatever people dont carry on.
What I probably am guilty of - like a lot of people - is seeing people getting picked on and not really sticking up for people.
I got in a couple of fights, and fought back... and then after that most people get to know you arent someone that they can just steal on or whatever. I remember in my first year two kids from the fifth year tried to take my lunch money - I swung at both of them, got my ass kicked a little, but they didnt think they were gonna take money from me again after that.
