Childhood bullying sticks with you for life. I'm still traumatised and can't accept when people say something nice about me. My brother was the main offender and even though I cut him out of my life 2 years ago, I'm still battling the traumatised and the scars haven't faded.

I saw a show about how people are getting the hair from their head with the follicles attached so they can get them implanted into their eyebrows. Problem is they keep growing and have to be professionally shaped all the time and cost megabucks.

That’s horrible and I thought being called stork and twiggy as in a stick insect mean because I was so skinny. People used to say if my twigs snapped they’d go up my fanny or arse.
But I have beautiful legs even at 67 and I’m still thin.

Absolutely! I’m 66 and still remember the names and faces of my childhood bullies from 60 years ago. I’m still sickened at the thought of them and what they did to me. Today,I’m a vocal critic of all forms of bullying and a child advocate in many local schools where a child is being bullied. Kids can be cruel and keyboard bullies are even worse. The things said from the safety of a screen are appalling.

I reckon the keyboard bullies are the worst bullies.

Facebook and other on line platforms are rampant with bullying. And it's not necessarily kids, it's adults who should know better.

I represent this statement.

Seriously, I've had a few gooses who have threatened me in SDC.

When confronted with an offer of a face to face meeting, they run for the hills, never to be seen again.

I contracted Polio at age of 10 and had to wear leg braces, very visible and I HATED looking “ different “. The name calling soon started which I put up with for a while but snapped one day when taunted with “ hoppy” . I pushed the offender as hard as I could and he fell backwoods into a wall coat hanger. Lots of blood and the Parents advised the Headmaster they were taking Legal Action agents me. They
were advised by the Head He observed the incident and considered the assailant completely to blame and would give evidence to that fact. As a
true “Gent” he was not present he was marking papers at the time. End of story.

Sounds like a scene from Midnight Express.

NOBODY abuses or bullies a person with a disability or impairment on my watch!

I can totally relate, I was also very skinny and teased about it. However, my main traumatiser was.... my mother... yes, believe it or not!

really that’s so sad.

I was bullied throughout my entire primary school years only because I was the tallest amongst all the students in the school. The bulling would happen every day which affected my confidence so much. I guess I have my genes to thank for my extraordinary hight. However later in life, and a young adult, I was greatful having the longest legs amongst my peers, which kind of probably was my better features. Short skirts, skimpy tips, dancing all night at the disco, ahhh those were the days, that were free from stress, free from school yard bullies, free from financial issues and most of all, free from pain, just a healthy, happy-go-lucky life.

It hurts enough getting them waxed! I only do them occasionally but it's a comfy thing, I get hot in summer lol. I've never understood the need to keep up with the Jones's about everything, especially fashion and beauty trends. I'll paint my nails and wear make-up if I'm going out for a night or to an event but otherwise I'm tok lazy to deal with all that!
