Another thread asked if people are mean to you because you are deaf. This reminded me of a bully that I had. Wanted to see if anyone wanted to share experiences of a bully who was mean to you (doesn't necessary have to be related to your deafness).
For me, I would say I had two.
One was in 6th grade, he would cover his mouth and say "Haha you can't understand me!" But since I already kind of figured that he would say that and I verified it by his facial movements as he said it, I just said "Yea... I can understand you." Then he'd respond with "No you cant!"...... not a very intelligent guy. Everyone hated him though, because he'd do really lame things like that to "be cool".
The other was in kindergarten (or pre-k?) where we all were taking a nap (ahh remember those days?) and this boy RANDOMLY came up to me while I was sleeping, yanked the hearing aid out of my ear, and THREW it across the room. He got a time out. To this day, I still have NO idea why he did that! I remember it vividly because it was so shocking!
