Bullying and friends

[andrewducker]

This post rang a lot of bells with me. I was bullied a lot by boys (at an all boys school) - and nowadays a large chunk of my friends are female. I don't think it's nearly as simple as that, but I'm intrigued.

I was bullied at school, by both boys and girls. I've got an equal number of male and female friends now. Being bullied has made me a bit suspicious of people who remind me of the bullies at school - laddish men and very fashionable girls!

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to steal the poll, but make it more complicated :).

Please do!

I'll point people your way once it's up :->

This thing. The bullying took different forms depending on the gender of the bullies, and for years I preferred the company of boys/men, but now I have a pretty even split between male and female friends, and am wary of other characteristics in people which remind me of the bullies.
