What was your nickname growing up? And do you like it?

@TheRealBarbossa why did they bully u

@Scousspeter
First elementary school: not having a dad
2nd elementary school: my weight
3rd elementary school: not caring about fashion, and wearing non-brand clothing
High school: all of the above aswell as not being girly enough, and for being an Elvis fan. The last one apparantly was reason enough for someone a year older to beat me up.

(We moved a lot. I wasn't transferred bc of the bullying or anything like that)

@TheRealBarbossa who beat u up and why?

@Scousspeter a girl from the class above me, simply bc I was (am) an Elvis fan. She even told me so herself

Edit: this was the year before JXL released his mix of A Little Less Conversation.

After that release apparantly it was ok to be a fan of Elvis bc he was relevant again.

@TheRealBarbossa wish i was in your class

@TheRealBarbossa aww I'm so sorry screw them! 🫂

@TheRealBarbossa people are so mean

@AngelUnforgiven they ended up as druggies, no good parents who lost custody, homeless, or dead, so I guess I won in the long run?

@Scousspeter I never wanted to stoop to their level, so I never hit back in any way.

That gave me some level of respect for a while atleast.

@TheRealBarbossa good for you! 💜

@TheRealBarbossa i would of beat her up for u

@Scousspeter thank you, but I feel like that's what she wanted. Even after confronting her as adults.

@TheRealBarbossa she probably fancied u

@Scousspeter nah, I was still presenting as female back then, and she's straight.
