I wasn't bullied in 1st grade. I was quite popular.

I did get bullied for a couple years in middle school, but I got over it relatively quickly because I grew up to be a 6'3" psychopath and the bullies backed off. And then I bullied other people in high school.

My school system never really had a ton of the "traditional" cliques you see on TV. No one gave a shit about sports so we didn't really have popular jocks or cheerleaders, and most of our smart kids had social skills so they didn't really act like nerds. We had a few metal head kids but no one cared, we had a few skateborders but they weren't seen as being super-cool or anything. All of which meant most people were relatively chill and it was fairly easy to make friends and be popular unless you had crippling anxiety issues or weird hygiene issues or you were one of the 2-3 nerds who didn't quite seem to know how to act human.

Between TTRPGs and CCGs and running track and having a pretty good sense of humor I always had a pretty easy time making friends and being fairly high in the popularity pecking order. I was never going to win Homecoming King or anything, but I also wasn't going to get soda dumped on my head like the one weird little toad boy who was in our class for a few years.
