Bullying is something we’ve all witnessed at one point or another, people don’t even think twice to calculate the damage their words can do to someone. Sick of the bullying culture, Pakistanis are sharing the reasons they’ve been bullied for, and it’s the saddest thing you’ll read today!

This is so heart breaking:
For my weight, acne and after the acne improved, acne scars on my face.
'Tepal Danedar' & 'moti double-roti' were some words used behind my back.
I never took them seriously.BUT I know someone whose bullying in uni lead him into psychosis. Its not a joke. #SayNoToBullying https://t.co/u6xMPdRIWH

My hair, my nose, my skin tone, for having facial hair and for rejecting a so called popular boy at school. https://t.co/KkFWEkv9dW

Sadly, a lot of women and men are still bullied for their skin colour:
By extended family for being darker than my siblings.
But kudos to my dad for telling me don't listen to anyone, go have fun in life. https://t.co/tijgSIvBXt

Appalling!

That’s a new low:
Was bullied at hospital by the seniors and MS Because govt officers are not supposed to work and i was changing the trend there by treating the patients myself instead of referring them to Private setups and making them question others for not working and getting the salary https://t.co/MQgXhbUZPM

Not swearing
Not participating in locker room talk

Never understood why people bully girls for being into sports?
Bullied for my weight all my life, since when I weighed 45kgs till now, for having fuller lips, for having tanned elbows from playing football to chubby cheeks and list goes on https://t.co/H1hKFbvOOv

We need to learn to be kind:
For being a very shy & bhola boy from a Village to a Air Force School of Elite Kids. https://t.co/MNnipTAHuQ

What even!
I was bullied for having an opinion. For being so WOKE?
For being someone who refuses to accept the stereotypical narrative.
I still get bullied.
I get called as an attention seeker, shokhi, ishtehari bold, and what not.Has it changed me?
Well not even a bit. https://t.co/WX9wOSgvhb— Mahnooooor (@mahahahnoor) June 9, 2020
“Kuch bola karo, mila jula karo:”
For being an introvert 😪I have always been humiliated by Amma, Phupo and many others. https://t.co/zTjj91qtoF

Yaaas, queeeen!
For being fat, I was fat as a kid, no one wanted to be friends with me. Apart from that I was generally bullied, they just disliked me at home and outside. Eventually it stopped because I think I reached a point where I became intimidating and stopped giving a fcuk. https://t.co/V5DQLyqYCk

Can relate, and the assumptions that come with it:
My really thick glasses 🙁 https://t.co/pzvQrN59Qm
— Wana 🌲🌳🌴✌🏻 (@wana_da_chinaar) June 10, 2020
This is insane 😔
My glasses. This guy who was a grade higher would take away my glasses for fun & make me run after him. I could barely see. Went to principal & told on him directly to her (I was in kg). She then took me to his class & asked me to point him out infront of every1.
I felt powerful. https://t.co/q2XR5JqRAv— 🐤 (@RuneMarauder8) June 9, 2020
People were appalled at the replies:
Reading retweets of this makes me so sad that there are people who were bullied at such young ages for such petty things like looks, physical appearance, accents, languages etc. When are we getting over that shit? Call them out when u see a bullies trying to ruin someone's life. https://t.co/BOYZQ4lMO4

Being bullied really takes a toll on self esteem and mental health, so the next time you’re about to point out something to someone (even if it’s with good intention) please think twice!
