Rant Bullying

60 Upvotes

So I was picked on and teased by these two guys last Thursday. I was walking near the JC and these two guys called me names , “ugly”, a girl” and many other names. They even said no girl will like you etc. I have been bullied my whole life and I guess I’m used to it but it still hurts and is never ok. I’ve been so insecure about myself and my body.

For context:
Growing up I was overweight. Like during Covid I weighed 220lbs. I was picked on by everybody at school and therefore didn’t have any friends at all. But during Covid since we in quarantine I decided to work out more and diet so I lost 60lbs in like a year and a half. So from 220-160. Ever since I’ve been in the gym and trying to better myself. I have some health issues and if you guys know what gynecomastia is , I have it. So because of that i feel so insecure about that my whole life and was teased/bullied for it.

I’m a guy btw

Hi

I'm a foreign student, and I struggle with writing in general

My areas of interest are academic papers and business communication (cover letters, reports and whatnot)

Please recommend writing courses that aren't too hard but are still educational. Thanks in advance.

Does his class have curves for the midterms and finals? Both of these exams make up 70% of the class grade. I know he doesn't give extra credit assignments.

General Sap complications

2 Upvotes

So, my sap appeal was not approved, despite meeting all requirements (apparently death of a sibling doesn’t count, even with death certificate but that’s a problem on its own) and now, I am looking for loans to help me to pay for school. However loans that do not need SAP requirements are still being rejected because of guess what, sap. What do I do

Rant Bullied

I got bullied 3 years ago in the JC. This tragic incident happened after walking in and I started getting brutally harassed and verbally assaulted. This has left me traumatized and at a loss of words.
