had a middle school ex in seventh grade who called me a “weird bisexual” and “bowling ball /bowling ball stomach”. had another kid who was a popular girl spread a rumor abt me that i was a lesbian with a crush on her bc i asked for her number but stuttered saying it because i was very socially awkward. i was fat shamed sometimes in school and shamed bc ppl thought i was a lesbian because my ex-friend outed me when i said i had a crush on a girl
Same but extroverted; if you weren’t a bully or hot it was just as bad
I’d say end of Sophmore year of HS it got better after initially being much worse, and went up from there; but looking back that might just be the bio-male “period of confident invinciblity”
