if i'd been one of the kids at my school,and the bullying type,i would have bullied myself
but that's a bit too abstract.I can see why,even if I'm not quite at ease with it.I was short and stocky and strange,and not in the maths-geek-gifted-pianist-soprano-singer-type prodigy strange,just strange full-stop.Plus I have a strange surname which was and is the bane of both my and my sister's life.
But being teased and (can I use this word?I can't really justify it.) bullied (I said it,but it's not true.It never was true.) made me appraise myself and realise that the bumbling pithecanthropoids out there are infinitely different from me.I am a person and you were and are clockwork toys dressed as people.You made me look at myself and realise that I was different and that's why you bullied (again,really?) me,because there was just one of me and hundreds of you.And the difference wasn't bad or good,it was just different.
So thank you,you bullies,wherever you are (I know where you are.You either work in garages or went to Oxford.)You helped me to realise that 90% of the people who exist are simple animals in t-shirts.And I don't want to be like you and I never will be.So fuck you and your type.But thanks all the same.

I read "Plus I have a strange surname"
...and immediately glanced down at your username, and realised 0.35 seconds later that "Fuckpig" _possibly_ wasn't the name you were given a hard time over.

I can empathise with most of your post! Yay!
