I also some bullying in 6th and 7th grade and one guy in 7th grade was particularly egregious. I do regret not speaking up about it or not fighitng up, and I'm maybe very, very mildly traumatized by it. I lucked out because the main bully got expelled.

Going into 8th grade, I remember going to a Jewish camp and learning about the power of prayer to pray that I wouldn't be bullied and I just kind of hit it bigger in 8th grade and that led to 9th grade being an even bigger hit. I was very astute to the politics of loooking cool.
