In fact, my courage and my bravery at a young age was the thing I was bullied for, a kind of 'Who do you think you are?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a unique person, I was bullied badly as a teen.
People have told me that I'm courageous, but I have seen greater courage.
Prior to being bullied, I was a very footloose sixth-grader. You know, I was quirky, I was creative - I really felt good in my own body. And when I was bullied in seventh grade, my self-esteem tanked.
I was bullied by a few people who were much older than me. I went to camp to learn boxing. I was 12, and my coach was 24. I felt like if I could fight him, I could stand up to anyone.
I was bullied a lot as a kid.
I like to think I'm quite brave. I stand up for myself.
I'd like to think that I'm brave. That's a really wonderful personality trait to have. I would love to think I'm the type of person to go rescue someone.
My own experience being bullied - it made me a more compassionate person. It made me more sympathetic to the adolescent experience.
My biggest strength is I'm courageous, or if I am afraid of something, I do it anyway. I do what I feel. It's nothing personal against anyone, so that courageousness has been very good to me.
I have always been a coward as a child. I am not very brave. I am very aware of the fact that I am not very gutsy.
