[another person is using this account] ive got bullying problems.. and im a girl.. but the problem is with..?

I had the same problem in the 8th grade....30 some years ago. I always wondered why they were so friggen mean to me. Later - 20 years later - I ran into one of the guys, he was the ring leader so to speak....i asked him why they had been such a sh-t to me. He told me, and he apologized, that he had, had a thing for me and when i had put him down, which I don't remember doing that he acted out and made certain that none of the guys would want me. He wanted to punish me. It turned out that his home life was bad, even though they had plenty of money and it looked like he had it good, his father used to beat him up and his mother drank a lot. He was acting out because of the way things were at his house. Just act like it doesn't bother you, unfortunately this is part of being a kid...it stinks I know, however it won't be long before you are my age and telling someone else they can live through this whole thing.
