Oh yeah, I had that same attitude, and I also knew I was much better than everyone cause I didn't have to make anyone feel like crap to prove myself better to anyone. Still, it never stopped being hurtful.
Now though, when I think of everything, I think if I had been then the way I am nowadays, I think I wouldn't have given a crap, actually, cause really what they said only hurt cause I was still in that teenage process of finding out who I was, so all those doubts I had about myself, am I cool enough, am I pretty enough, etc, were the reason their comments got to me so bad, because some part of me wasn't sure that they weren't right in what they were saying, you know? It was particularly bad when I was 13, the worst time of my life, really.
When I got to high school, I wasn't bullied anymore, but still people would laugh at me sometimes for being too shy, for being too serious, etc, but for the most part I was just ignored, which is better than being bullied. And by then I had already accepted that that was what school was about and one day I would get out of it and never come back so I didn't care anymore.
