Highschool LGBT: bullied?

I think nearly everyone gets bullied at some point in their life. The solution isn't the same for everyone. Some people get stronger, some people are overly sensitive. Honestly, the trick for me is not caring one bit what other people think and doing what makes me happy. If someone says something negative about me or to me, I'd say nothing and walk away or if I was feeling annoyed, I'd say something back. It was honestly hard for me to fathom how completely moronic most people are, but once I figured that out, it was much easier to ignore them. Also, learning to defend yourself isn't a bad idea, for anyone.
