Not sure if I should write this using first person. Some may think it relates to myself, others may find it is comming right at them. I guess I will leave it as is though. I can look at perspectives many can't handle.
You may be smart. Sometimes people who are not feel threatened and will pick on you.
You may have a physical deformity. So because you look different and they are twits they will pick on you.
Sometimes people try to talk to you and you give them no response. So they try to get you to speak and when that doesn't work they try harder. You say more when picked on so they start being mean to simply get you to communicate. Maybe they think somehow you will tell them why you are so quiet or they like you and want to hear what you have to say. Only they don't understand that their harsh words hurt you much more then most people.
The person being mean to you may be beaten at home and treated like dirt so they go out into the world looking for someone they can pick on that won't fight back.
You may scare others. You may say and do things that people find disturbing. They will push you to test out how you behave and depending on the outcome will push even more because they have people they care about and start to feel you are a threat to that. The weirder you get the more cruel they will be. They may care, but not see a better way. They find you threatening and don't know what to do with you. To you the things you say may seem fine. You may have no real understanding as to why people react the way that they do. If you want to understand it can be a matter of degree's. Try looking at things said by those who like lighting peoples property on fire and talk about it as if it is nothing. You may not look that much different to others as the pyro or psychopath.
You may want the world to understand you, but you may find the real answer is to better understand others, then to expect them to understand you. If you want the world to change, you have to start with yourself. Don't expect anyone to do what you will not.
Everyone wants to believe that the rest of the world is the same as themselves. It simply isn't true. So if you want to understand others, you must walk in their shoes.
(Darn it, I seem to have some desire to rhyme.... geeze.)
What are some other reasons people may pick on you? Not asking for reasons you may want to believe, but what were their reasons?
