Ignore it? Nah. I was 6’ and 110 pounds in high school. Tall and skinny. Did everything I could to put on weight, including eating three dinners a day for a few years. Worked out a bunch, too.
And I was a geek. (Still am actually.)
But I finally got tired of being bullied and kicked one of the bully’s ###.
Funny thing is, after that we became friends, and if any other student tried to bully me, HE kicked their ###.
Turns out he was in an abusive family and was just looking for validation. Needed a friend.
The teacher I mentioned earlier though was just a jerk. He ended up fired. (Messing with my father is a BAD life choice.)
And yeah, I do realize I won the “parent lottery.” My Mom is equal to my Dad. Both have always been supportive and protective, but never overbearing.
These teacher pukes would not have lasted 2 minutes if they pulled this stuff on me. Mom would have shredded them unless Dad got there first.
Feel sad for the bullied kid who did not have such support.
Guess you were “lucky” and “smart”. I did not put up with it either, I was very vocal. That was tough on my older brother.
