I'm also not sure why people consider me "victim-material." Maybe it's because I'm quiet, or because I look at them and they don't like that. I've had people bully because they don't like that I look at them. Sometimes, I will admit it's my fault for staring, but other times it just seems kind of random. The other person was staring at me first and when I noticed, that person gets pissed and started gossiping or making noises at me.
I also notice that being in a group makes a person less likely to get bullied. Bullies tend to target people who are alone, and I used to be alone a lot. Now I don't go out alone anymore.
