Stupid?

I know who I am, and I'm aware of my capacity for things. I don't take compliments well, nor do I take insults well. I used to let people make fun of me, but I'm not that person anymore. I don't care whether or not you're joking, it hurts my feelings. I used to let people walk all over me, but I don't anymore. I'm fed up with all the constant bullying and insulting I've been putting up with. In elementary school, I was practically a doormat. I was easily persuaded into ridiculous things that nearly cost me my future. So forgive me if I'm the type that is defensive when it comes to hurting my feelings. I'm just not as strong as other people are, and I don't have the ability to brush things off easily as other people do. But I for one will not tolerate people calling me names like that involve calling me stupid. I'm NOT stupid. And I will NOT stand for it. I may have made fun of some people because of what they've DONE, but NEVER will I call someone stupid as if they were mentally challenged and mean it. Today's society fuels us up, telling us that calling other people names that have to do with them being mentally challenged is okay. But it's not. It's far from "okay". It's insulting to the person being called that name, AND to the people that are actually mentally challenged. If you can't respect me, how can you be my friend? And how can I be yours?

I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ME ANYMORE; JUST BY DOING THAT, YOU'RE ALREADY INSULTING ME.
But I guess I should be used to it by now.
