As the only white kid in all-black school, I was bullied mercilessly all through 8th grade. At the time I just sort of hid in a shell, adopting a sort of "i am a rock I am an island" sort of philosophy. it worked, but it also kept me socially isolated my freshman year of highschool, and i kept things distant and superficial for the rest of highschool, but now I've used those experiences to try to better myself. I'm more social now, and at boot camp I saw how much I've improved over the years. there was one kid who was sort of a bully at boot camp, but we pretty much started ignoring him when he cried after getting some shit on his arm.
