Yes. Yes I have. I filed a complaint with the OIC of my local post office on my mail carrier this week for him making fun of me in front of three other mail carriers earlier this month. I can't wait for the results on the issue as I am 60 years old and wonder why me.

I suffered the torment with bullies growing up, but I learn to deal with them. Sometimes with conversation and sometimes with force. No matter what you do....bullies will be around and if you stay a victim, then you have no one else to blame for your misery

I was bullied in middle school and part of high school in reverse racisim. It made my life a living hell. I had to carry a knife to school with my for protection and I was ready to use it if need be. I told the teachers and the administrators who did absolutly nothing to help. They just laughed it off. I had one kid slap me so hard it left a welt in the shpae of his hand for two days. When I screamed and called him some names I had to write an essay about calling people names. He got nothing even though I had his hand print on me. In the locker room the kids would slap me and kick me, in the hall ways I was called names, intimidated, harrassed, etc. I am white he the other kids black, the teachers were majority black. It was reverse racisim. I lost self-confidence for a long period of time.
