i guess everyone here had experience being teased on or picked on or ridiculed to make it specific when we were still in school/or even at home.. (its common on our elementary or even high school days) can you still recall or remember it???actually i was outside a while ago and heard our neighbor(actually children) teasing each others by calling them names or sort of things... and curious on it...my brother actually called me flat or square face..and im wondering why..im really not that square face thing honest
...and sometimes teased me for having a flat nose and everything....what about you guys??

Hello vanities,
When I was a kid, friends used to tease my name as it sounds slightly similar to a name of a fruit. I was very angry but since I was a shy little girl, I didn't fight back. They loved to tease me too as I always be the only left handed person in the class. I hate it when they asked me this question sarcastically, "Which hand you use to eat?" and I always replied back, "When you want to cut food, which hand you use to hold the knife and which hand to hold the food? Are you sure your left hand is clean to hold the food?"

Hi vanities! That brings back very upsetting memories for me!
I don't think that children have any idea how terrible this
kind of thing can really be and how it can affect someone for
a very long time! I was picked on when I was in school. It
was Junior High School! It was awful! I didn't want to go
to school! I would cry all the time when I got home and I
was scarred to go to school. Children can be very mean and
hurtful. It left me thinking that I was ugly and that no one
wanted to be my friend for a very long time. It messed up my
self confidence all through High School. I eventually got
over it, but it stayed in the back of my mind forever!

I was never really popular in high school but neither was I sloppy. I didn't get teased very often. One of the biggest bullies in school during my time was my cousin so that kind of saved me..
My siblings had a nickname for me which translates to having a slightly sharper canine teeth. I don't think they are that sharp now, though. We still fondly call each other's ridiculous nicknames every now and then when our moods permit it.
Sometimes, it's just really out of fondness that we ridicule our siblings with names. For me, I really like it because it only pops up when we're hanging out together, which doesn't happen very often now, and when we're having so much fun....

Hello vanities! I remember being teased when I was in Elementary. I remember when in 1st grade, I had diarrhea so unintentionally I poofed inside the classroom. I guess I ate something that made my stomach crumbled. So everyday, my classmates teased me about it until 6th grade and so when I was in highschool I transferred to another school and live a normal life in school.
