ah that wasn't the case for me, I went to public school most of my life (aside from being in "gifted school" in 1st grade) and while male bullies had no effect on me (I even got socked in the face by a jock likely on steroids and laughed at him and called him a faggot). it was the women who did the most harm, considering I was attracted to them and unwitting saw them as protectors, when they were nothing but. most of the time getting sent to the principal's office for "sexual harassment" or "stalking", two things I had no idea (no, really, I did not) were even things and made matters worse by asking the principal "you mean corn stalkings? socks?" literally no clue. I avoided juvie on the fact I was still introverted and not "all there" but very intelligent, especially in literature (which is odd because most autists are math geniuses) the fact I was in honors english exposed me to the cream of the crop of women and it shocked me too much. while in remedial math I got picked on by subhuman wiggers for no reason at all. things got worse in trade school, there were more JDs there than before and being into hardcore punk and being straight edge was not cool, and was the brunt of attacks by hordes of Slim Shadys and juggalos. after I got out things got better. but those experiences turned me into an edgelord (I'm an American Nazbol, figure that one out, I had an interest in politics since age 12 and could name all the Presidents of the U.S. and was very good at geography)
