Answer :

answer:I have never bullied anyone, but yes, I was seriously bullied in middle school. My father was an Architect for the BIA and built schools and hospitals all over the Southwest. We moved to Albuquerque for a 2 yr. project from CA. when I was in 7th & 8th grade. I was the only little blonde, blue eyed gringo girl in a school of hispanics and native americans and I was bullied to the point that I refused to go to school and was sent back to CA. to live with my grandparents for the remainder of the project length. The hispanic and indian boys were attracted to me and the girls wanted to kill me. It was a very traumatic experience and goes to show that racism is a multi-colored coat. Marcia Brady did not fit in on the reservation. haha
