I outgrew the bullying by graduating high school and never seeing anyone from my class after that day...
Of course the 3 months after graduation found me pack on 3 inches height and 30 lbs of muscle making me so jacked up even my older brother stopped teasing me.. too bad my bullies from the previous 13 FU@%ING YEARS were no longer in arms reach. I could have taught them how much words hurt.

Up in shirt pocket.

Online research implies it's... like hugs, (oo) affection? (that needs peer review), compassion?! (Now THAT sounds like a scam).. understanding.. but that's ... not.. (⁰'⁰) .. may... may I has the goth kitty gf?

No, you will STILL be bullied about your nose. But now, everyone will know they can get away with it.

My bruh, you and I serve as the metric upon which the women base their life choices. WE are the bar they set upon to delimit the standard of choice. Below us there are none whom shall ever be held. Though we be also upheld by them, the women are made better by us being among the discarded.
They must learn to throw out the entire bowl when rot begins to set in. Even though some fruit is untouched and prime. Lest they might taste of the rot, for it shall destroy them for a grain. Pray not the women pick through the trash to find you... pray to grow tall and strong within the rot, like a mushroom. Then the truly adventurous women shall come, and savor us uniquely.
I am 45 y.o.... virgin, never held hand of woman; and writings like THIS ... is why.

Doubt, hot enough to melt on contact.

Side note: home Ed teacher LOVED me. Never molested because I had last period and my OCD was so bad I spent each day washing dishes from the previous 4 classes. I cook for teacher work days... HIGH reviewed.

So, Jessie. I understand you took up dancing as a career...

In WHAT religion?

If the schools prioritized learning instead of sports, the bully jocks wouldn't be allowed to harass the nerd kids to the point the latter gives up on life and come to school ready to play "stop hitting yourself" with 30 round clips. One week.. that was the difference between me doing it. One week when my 3 worst bullies were sick same time. ][ <- that close (pre-Columbine).

Feature, not a flaw
