Of course, they are. At all five schools I studied, there was always found a motherfucker to bully me. Sometimes there was not one, there were two, three or even more bullies, they used to take away my money and beat me. Teachers always caught them doing that as they were so silly that they didn't even think up to put me under pressure where nobody could see it. And I was responsible for that as if I sneak on them myself.
But teen age, thanks God, has passed, and since then I've not been humiliated. People has become less insane, they realize there must be a reason to make me responsible.
I feel worse when I rehearse the boring school days sometimes disturbed by harassments. For eleven years being bullied, I've become such a coward that I can't just pass by a person because I don't know where to look at. But that's a separate story.
