I was the school anti-bully. Big ugly b@$turd like me... defused most situations with jest and jocularity (see a pattern?
), never needed to resort to physical anything (too much effort). Stood up for other kids mostly - got in between the bully and the picked-on.
Not overly tall, but my immense girth certainly began at an early enough age
Played Ra-ra as a forward for many years right through to University (when I decided to get slim to get more...err..you know...)
Got teased HEAPS - water off a fat duck's back. Self-depreciation worked too
. Didn't bother me one single bit - nickname in primary school was either Louie the Fly (obvious) or Rolly Polly and it stuck. Heck, my father either calls me Big Fella or Hugh Jarse.
