I got teased quite a bit about what I wore to school, my hair, my boots, etc...I only got bullied in 1st grade, after that I learned to defend myself. Other than the always there smart alec remark...you still live in a teepee, you wear mossicans, you still scalpe people, can you talk with animals and understand what they say....:gigI think about it every once in awhile, and just smile.

I saw a lot of that, too. In Eastern South Dakota we had a lot of kids who were Sioux. But they grouped together....safety in numbers, I guess..... I didn’t have anybody to group with. :idunno

Neither did I, except one other native, they too got the stupid questions, we where also know as "the twins", :smackeventhough we were not even related.
 
I got bullied a lot too but, just by strange guys I didn't know at all. One kept grabbing at me and shrinking violet me, panicked and kicked him as hard as I could in the shins.
Never saw him again.

Another would chase me home - well not exactly, he started the chase but, I could really run when needed. Also changed routes so he didn't know where I lived. My friends said I ran like a tornado . I guess I did.

A guy in my classroom decided I was his girlfriend.He was the big shot trouble maker in school - i don't think I ever said hello to him. He tried his best to impress me - gave me some trinkets I know he had shoplifted. ((dumped them at first garbage can).

Then he tried to to dazzle me with stories how he threw cats in a garage can and poured kerosene on them and set it afire. How do you respond to that? I made sure I was never near him again.

Sadly when I got to high school - the guys didn't have a clue how to act/speak around women. One very shy guy caught my eye - I was braver around shy people. I helped him out and he got over most of his shyness - in time to ask "another" girl to the prom.

Guys used to follow my bus home. They claimed I looked like I was 20. Who in heck would ever have thought that? On a day this one person couldn't follow my bus. He had his married cousin follow it. That's when I started walking farther to take a different bus.

Had enough reasons to be afraid of men, since I was a little girl. When I started seriously dating things didn't change. First date - nice. By the second date they would demonstrate their "controlling" impulses . How come I wasn't home? Why was the phone always busy (son on internet). etc. etc.

Broke up with someone. He started parking by my mailbox after dark. At some point he stopped ,maybe the cops noticed him. He replaced that with calling me several times a day. My mother told him I wasn't home BUT, she thought he looked awfully cute in his tennis shorts. I swear he kept calling for 7 years, and my mother kept talking to him. I'm sure she would have preferred him to her husband. At least he wasn't abusive .

Sorry for the rant. But I noticed when typing, my bad eye stopped tearing. Honestly,
maybe it's hurts that I don't talk about, that are causing the problem. Couldn't get an eye appt. till Dec.10. Maybe it will "please" go away before then and save me the $$$.
 
I was teased horribly being called horse.... face shoved into the water fountain... Pins stuck in the backs of my legs... Slam books... I didn't date till I was almost out of high school.

There is a population of Native Americans here in southern California.... Mostly Kumeayay I have chatted with the Chairman for the Viejas band at a local restaurant during breakfast. Didnt know who he was at the time. Impression of him was he was interesting and just a little bit pompous... I guess you dont become a leader by not having an opinion.... LOL
