I thought I had it bad.
And I did. Bullied, unpopular, red headed stepchild, no girlfriends, etc, etc, etc.
Finally abated a bit when I fought back and punched a low rung bully in the face. Still it was hell both at school and at home.

I may be a little fucked in the head, but I moved to the other end of the country, had a good time in college, and am largely successful (worked at some famous companies, current one is very famous and treats its employees well), married, have two boys, loved and respected by many.

Did I contribute to the bullying? I think not, most of the cool kids had a stable household. Bullies would pick on the mentally handicapped. There was no real gray area I could see, just cool kids, normal kids, the bullied, and assholes.
