Kofi Kingston: I Was Bullied In High School

[AKI Man]

<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>The Sydney Morning Herald has an article on Kofi Kingston, who recalls being a victim of bullying when he was a child.

"When I went to school I was definitely bullied," Kingston told the children who are part of Underdogs, a Sydney, Australia based anti-bullying support group. "I wasn't the biggest guy, I grew up in a town [in America] that was affluent – a lot of people had a lot – and while my family wasn't what you'd call not well off, we didn't have what others had.

"So, it was tough. For me, growing up was just a matter of dealing with it. You'd try to fight it but there were some days I didn't want to go to school and come across certain people because I didn't want the conflict."

Sad for Kofi.... really sad.... I hate to hear that someone was/is getting bullied in school, it really has to be hard.

I never let anyone mess with me, even when I was weak (until 6th grade). Then, when I grew up in 6th grade, noone actually wanted to mess with me, even those that tried to beat me up before.

I was lucky not to get bullied in high school. Stick with your dudes and bullies won't mess with you. They're all cowards.

Yeah, they are cowards, that's why they were afraid of me

I was not fat or very strong but they really didn't want to have anything with me.
