I was a introvert. Not bullied, but it wasn't fun.
sitnspin:
I was the lone Native kid in school. I was also queer, mentally ill, and accused the star quarterback of rape. So yeah, high school was quite brutal for me. It was also a small town, which likely made a difference. My case isn't exactly typical.
BenRG:
The path of least resistance may be safer for you but it has a tendency to also be the more damaging. That aside, we are reminded that even someone of Elliot's physical size and ability can be bullied and intimidated by peer pressure into passive compliance.

I was one of the nerdy kids with no friends in high school, yet I was never bullied.

Not necessarily US. Though I'll admit high school was better than elementary. At least there was no beating or strangling involved there. And less teachers going along with it. Still, there were a couple of right bastards in there, and stereotypically, it's the local soccer hero that was one of the worst bullies. Mind, for some reason or other, the guys actually playing on a national level were kind of ok.
The largest incident in my high school career happened after I bested said soccer hero the single time we had a wrestling class.
Things oddly quietened some time later, after we had hockey. Somehow, the image of me coming at them all bloodied with a half splintered stick stuck.
Marco:
Dammit, Jeph. I didn't want to talk about it too...
