Answer :

My parents called me a bully all the time. I had bad grades and my parents would constantly compare me to the other kids who have good grades. Those kids bullied me all the freaking time because my parents would only get after me for fighting back. Even if those kids did crap right Infront of the parents I'd get in trouble simply because the other kids were too smart to be the bullies
