When I was in 5th, 6th grade, and most of junior high, I was mercilessly bullied for the usual suspects: I was fat, bad at sports, didn't have the latest clothes/hairstyle or whatever. The teachers naturally didn't do shit about it and my parents' best advice was to just ignore them (yeah, like that's really going to get them to stop). As a result, I had very few friends (one of whom frequently took advantage and treated me like shit) and almost no social skills at all during that time period and it took a long time to overcome all that to be the somewhat-social person that I am today. Of course, it also went without saying that girls were basically out of question due to my introversion and extreme lack of social skills. Granted, all that seems lightweight compared to what many of you people went through, but that didn't make it suck any less for me.
