No, it is not. People who get bullied are often people who are different from the rest. Being different is beautiful and refreshing, not something that should be punished.

I believe that is very common, but I don't think it's right. No one should get bullied. We should respect ourselves.

I think that Bulliyng is something wrong. We shouldn't be bullied for being different. Being different means that somehow you are unique and special and no one should bully you for that. You are just being yourself :)

I feel like it is normal to be bullied for being different, but that doesn't make it right though. I'm telling you this as a victim of bullying, I've been bullied my whole life and it's not an easy thing to go through. People bullied me for the smallest things, like not having a lot of pretty clothes, wearing glasses(which I no longer wear) having a birth injury that's very noticeable, but it never stopped me from being myself. Always be true to who you are.

I think that only different people have ever been bullied before. Sorry. But in that sense, being bullied can be seen as a rite of passage. The most brilliant and successful people in the world have all been bullied: Elon Musk, Bill Gates, etc. for being different. Different isn't a bad thing, and the teens you're probably spending your time with these days are all the same. But they're not going anywhere in life, because they're a dime a dozen. You'll grow up and find that people will embrace your differentness. Trust me.

Unfortunately it is. The media has hyped up so many different issues in the recent years that too many people feel as though it's okay to bully others for being different. If you think you're different from others, use it to your advantage. It's what makes you a unique person!

Yes its completely normal, when people see something that they don't recognise their first instinct is to judge or insult it. Just because you're diffirent doesn't mean you deserve to be bullied it just means that people don't understand you and that's why they feel the need to change you, but you are strong, unique and beautiful don't let anybody take that away from you xX

No, it's not normal to be bullied by being different. People should respect their differences. We are all different and we should accept it. Being different is just being perfect.

No matter what people say, stereotyping is a huge part of life. All i can say is, if your strong enough to believe in yourself then you can stand out from the crowd and wont care what others say. I feel sorry for bullies as they're the same as everyone else...and let face it...that pretty boring!

No its not normal to be bullied because you are different . Some of our worst experiences as kids, gave us thick skins as we grow to deal with many problems in a adult world. Wounds heals but vivid memories rarely fade.

Sadly it is one hundred percent normal to be bullied for being different. Most bullies try to put someone down to make them feel better about them selves

Yes is it, even thought it is really sad. This kind of stuff happens because people are scared of what they don't understand, or what is different. So most of them try to get that person to feel bad for who they are.

It is normal to be bullied as you are different , this is definetly not okay though. Society is moving away from their standards though so bullying for being different will be a thing of the past

Unfortunately it is not uncommon to be bullied for being different especially at young ages---that does not mean it should be normal and accepted though. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect and being different is what makes you who you are so you should never let others convince you that what makes you special is reason to be picked on

Even IF it's 'normal', it doesn't make it okay. No one deserves to be bullied for being different. It's not okay. We are our own unique selves and there's nothing wrong with that.
