Growing up with the class bully

I also grew up in Chicago, I got more than my fair share of being made to feel like a freak of nature since I was always very tall, so I was called giraffe,lurch,jolly green giant, etc. Thankfully height runs in my family so being tall is like breathing to me now, but when your a 6th grader who is 5'10", with big boobs, trust me you do start to believe your an oddball,as I mentioned to PMM in another post, NOW I know that when people put others down, they are really the most insecure of all and are just trying to get ahead of others by jumping the gun and pointing out their "weaknesses", or what they percieve as weakness.Shorter kids, especially boys saw that height was what stood out about me and tried to make me feel bad about it, thank goodness I know better now, but I wish I had been equipped with the same wisdom then. Btw,I am 6ft. tall, I have 2 sisters, another 6 footer, and one who is 6'1", my Dad is 6'6", my Mom is 5'6",but my mothers paternal grandmother,(my GGgrandmother) was born in the mid 1800's and was supposed to have been about 6'2", with braids down to her waist (Choctaw) so I believe the height may actually come more from my moms side.

i gre up in utah a non active mormon i weighed 90 pounds and let me tell you there is nothing worse than religous bias, i fought everyday for my dignity for my sisters and they fought for me.  the class bully i remember the most was a girl from a rich family and we were poor.  I met her some years later when i was taking care of the handicapped so parents could get a rest.  Had a very violent young man in my home and 3 kids of my own she reported me as being a terrible respite mother but let me tell you i got the most clients and some who come see me to this day 15 years later she just stuck her head up her butt and couldnt pull it out.  So as i see it someday she will get what karma brings around and i pray she can handle it cuz not all states like utah mormons not that we are all bias
