You people must have went to some really fucking shitty highschools. Goddamn, there is so much resentment in this thread. Have all of you been walking targets?
I was quiet.
I was an immigrant.
Not a FOB, but not too removed from that.
My English wasn't that great.
Scrawny (still am).
Yet, I have managed to make acquaintances with many people in my classes, including many of my fellow Eastern Europeans. I've never been picked on. I have, but only verbally and only in jest. It wasn't done to hurt me emotionally. Just people shooting shit. I don't really understand what kind of a geek you have to be to attract that much attention.
