I too have been bullied before, for the things i liked such as acting and singing. But i found the best way to beat them was by continuing what i loved most, it was hard and i mean really hard, but i wasnt going to let them beat me. And this all started in my first year of high school and didnt stop till my third year, but that was because i didnt take action, i held it in and kept it to myself. But that is one of if not the worst thing you could do.
