While I wouldn't wish being teased on anyone, I think it eventually leads to a kind of solidarity in adult life. The few people I know who weren't picked on in school are people I find I can't relate to on much more than a surface level. There's a sensitivity that comes with feeling like an outsider at some point in your life.

I got teased my entire school life. What they were picking on I don't even understand.

Kids will tease you for just about anything.

At school, I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking.

Children tease each other because you're short or you're tall or you're a redhead or because you're ugly or because you're smart or because you're dumb or all kinds of differences and as parents we have to deal with that and strengthen our children to be comfortable with themselves and also to show empathy and acceptance towards others.

I was teased horribly as a child and beaten up a lot.

When you have a kid, you have to be more mature.

I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.

I'm childish and silly. Most people tease me because I'm a bit daft.
