  Well, I got picked on too when I was in primary and secondary school.
  
  And every time I got bullied, my dad would scold me and pin all the blame on me for being a 'weakling'. According to him, it was all my fault for being bullied as I was weak in the eyes of others.
  
  I can still remember some of the things he shouted at me:
  
  [b]'They bullied you because you are WEAK!!!'
  
  'You are a weakling! That's why they picked on you!'
  
  And the most hurtful remark of all (when I was 12):
  
  'What's wrong with you? Why can't you be like everyone else?'
  
  
  My young mind interpreted the last remark to mean that he wasn't proud of me for who I was and that he was disgusted at the fact that I was so weak that I got bullied easily.
  
  As a result, I withdrew into my shell and didn't get along well with others. My reasoning was that since I get scolded every time I get bullied, then it's not worthwhile to befriend others for fear of getting bullied by them.
  
  Perhaps it was his way of motivating me to stand and fight, but if that was his motivation, it backfired spectacularly on me. Reverse psychology doesn't always work on a kid - it only made me more and more withdrawn into my shell.
  
  It was only in recent years that I've been able to come out of my shell. But even so, suffice to say, some old habits die hard.
  
  Oh well. I think I had better end here before I slug my dad too much on an online forum. [/b]

  i know how u feel..my relatives kids are all poly students, uni grads.. express student etc
  
  and i am the only one in ITE
  
  and my father always picks on me when i can't do a simple technical stuff like fix a plug..he calls me a useless kid

  and so what if you're in ITE? that doesnt make you any less better as a person. at the very least, you're a nice person. that makes you much better than many other out there..such as the my-arse-is-glued-to-the-mrt-seat-people

  good good..
  
  and people, remember.. no matter what the people say, what matters is that you are a good person inside..
  
  everything else, how much you earn and all that, becomes dust in the end...

  I'm majoring in mechanical engineering.
  
  So I don't learn a lot about electrical stuff, although I do have a working knowledge of it.
  
  If anything, we engineers don't really learn about things like fixing plugs - that's more for technicians to handle, not engineers.
