I was pretty bullied up until Jr. High. I've never been too good at sports, but always excelled at reading and writing. Basically my parents just stuck with me the whole time, gave me the room to explore my own interests outside of school.

That's a great suggestion.
I am actually shocked I was never really bullied in school, but I think I was always the peace-maker and able to do something to help others so in that way maybe I avoided being bullied.
