Can't say I ever was. Anyone who bullied me in school either didn't know I liked it or didn't care.
My opinion on those who pick on others because of it though is thus [in reply to Reb's comment]:


Kids will be kids. You tell them to grow up and they do eventually, but it takes time.
When I was in school I got bullied for loving Harry Potter. I just ignored them and moved on with my life.
What's it matter what they think? I love it, and they missed out on something awesome cause they never gave it a chance.
And if they did and still dissed me, I just thought they were acting like idiots. Continued ignoring them and went on with my life.
Later they did too. I'm friends with some of the people who bullied me on FaceBook now! Point being, they grew up.
I hate twilight [for a reason, so don't call me on it], but I have friends are fans of it [you, Reb & Hunt, for example],
but in a way I grew up and look past that. What we're fans of and what we're not fans of doesn't mean we're bad people.
The people who pick on us for what we love aren't necessarily either. They're just blind. And need to grow up.
[No idea where that came from or if it even relates to the topic, so forgive me if I rambled a bit, but felt like it needed to be said.]

I agree. I wish I could ignore it but I just can't. It's very hard for me. And funny, huh? Some of the people who used to make fun of me for drawing wolves and editing videos said hi to me on facebook and I actually had a pleasant conversation with them. As if nothing happened. I was like 'what...?' And the other one even apologized on skype. There's a new group of people now, though, who don't even talk to me and yet find a reason to talk bad about me behind my back... I'll take others' advice and try to ignore, but it's easier said than done, lol.

Well, yes, this has happened to me. In 5th grade during lunch I was drawing Balto and Jenna and some one came up and started laughing and asking me what the heck it was that I was drawing. It made me feel really embarresed, that's why I want /no one/ at school finding out I have an account on Balto Source, Brother Bear Source, etc.

I am bullied.

Can you give us a reason,why people bully you about your liking Balto?

Not really, I change my profile picture on facebook to Balto last december because everybody was changing there profile pictures to cartoons for some reason, I don't talk about Balto at school though.

You do mean "Don't" right?

And I understand how difficult it must be, but you shouldn't be so angry. Like I told Hunter in a previous post, they'll grow out of it.

Ironically enough, a very similar situation happened to me. xD Through Primary AND early High School, there were certain people that used to pick on me for whatever reason.. but at the end of High School, a lot of them became good friends of mine and I became popular. I don't hold anything against them, because I'm a forgiving person and they'd obviously grown up. The ones who still hated me for whatever reason just didn't matter anymore, they were nasty people who didn't deserve my attention. I had
a lot of friends, and I was happy. Since I left school and moved to the country capital, I actually miss them all.

My point is, people DO change and mature. Kids.. are just mean, and find some weird enjoyment is making others feel bad. xD But it won't last.. not unless they're the way they are for a reason i.e. awful home life.

Yea people tease me cuz I watch My Little Pony and I don't really care though.
