Is it normal to be bullied for being different?

No, it is not! Difference is what makes us ourselves. One should be proud for being themselves, and no one has the right to take that away!

I am afraid it is. People who have insecurities or differences of their own tend to pick on other people to make themselves feel better.

Yes, it is. It has been that way since the beginning of time, and unfortunately, that's why some people succumb to society's expectations instead of being themselves. Bullying is a broad subject and could be happening for numerous reasons. However, if you're being bullied for being different, they're probably just envious of your unique traits and are projecting their envy onto you instead of being the bigger person. Therefore, the best way to handle this situation is to simply love the unique traits that set you apart from everyone else and don't let them get to you. Best of luck!

No, it is not normal. But, despite that, it happens almost every single time a different kind of person shows up in a community. In my opinion, I think this happens because humans naturally don't like changes. The easiest way to deal with something new is to compare it to what they're used to, which usually results in bullying

Yes it is normal. However that does not make it right, nor should we condone it. Bullying, while common is not necessary

It can be normal in society. But honestly everyone can be bullied. It's your choice to ignore it though. Don't forget that.

It is normal to be bullied for being different because the bully doesn't understand about diversity and people with different strengths and capabilities too and so they tend to pick on people in different gender,community they came before they arrive here but if it becomes an issue the sooner you resolve it the sooner you have the urge that you've been held back less a huge concern.

Being different is nothing to be ashamed or uncomfortable about. People often don’t understand differences between themselves and others. They do not take time to put perspective into what they feel or say. Unfortunately, people speak before they understand what another person is experiencing. Bullying is never okay but is a wide occurrence in today’s society. Difference is never a weakness but a strength. People do not always think of differences as strengths because they may not experience them personally. Often times the bully may experience things that make them feel alone or unheard. They may pick on others because they are avoiding their own troubles or because they wish to feel supported. That is not always the case though. Do not feel belittled by bullying. You are stronger than the words people may say. They do not understand how powerful and capable you are of being the outstanding and strong being you are!

Unfortunately, that seems to be the reality around the world. Often times, people who stand out are the one's who are picked on put down. But most of the time, that's not the fault of the person being bullied. The problem lies with the bully who is likely trying to make up for something that they lack- they're intimidated for some or other reasons and believe they can overcome that feeling by beating down on the person who reminds them of it. It's almost always a case of low self-esteem and a lot of self-hatred within the bully. But this can be very difficult to see if you're on the receiving end of the bullying.
