Has anyone ever made fun of you for the way you look or something about you that still angers or hurts you?

I'm just wondering if other people's words affected you as much as they did me! It's amazing how much making fun of someone can do so much damage and even cause problems later on in life! I think if kids (and adults for that matter) show what it did to people whether short-term or long-term, they might think before speaking. What makes me so mad is how kids just said things to me to make me feel bad. Sometimes I think they were jealous because I was probably the richest kid in grade school but I was painfully shy. I was skinny and they called me "chicken legs", "beanstalk" , you name it. I was always picked last at teams. One mother even organized a contest in fourth grade of "Guess whose legs these are?" with pictures of legs. I couldn't belive it! I didn't do it 'cause I know the contest was to make fun of me 'cause her daughter was jealous of me. Can you imagine an adult being so CRUEL and making me cry? People constantly made fun of me being skinny and shy. (cont'd)
