I got picked on a lot, but like ****** I never got physically hurt or threatened. I was smart and a little weird. I wouldn't stick up for myself. In 6th grade I went into a class where every day two of the guys leaving the class would say terrible things to me, mostly related to my appearance (I had crazy hair and was a little overweight). There were other people who made fun of me, but I remember having dreams about them and being anxious to go to Social Studies every day.
I guess in elementary school I didn't get bullied a lot, but in middle school I did. I just hung out with the other weird-but-not-dangerous kids in elementary, plus I was good at sports so I had all guy buddies or whatever, in-school friends. Once I got depressed and stopped participating in sports I got picked on a lot more. Plus I wore SP shirts every day. I got all As but never really talked in class or participated much.
So I guess I wouldn't call that severely.
