When I was a kid, I wasn’t picked on for being smart or talented. Just for being different. I never let a fear of being bullied stop me from doing what I wanted to do (not finishing my math homework did get me kicked out of strings, in middle school though). However I did have low self esteem and was self concious about my “talents” until high school when I took probably every arts course (except visual arts) I could. I sang in the choir (several solo’s) played in the band and orchestra, and even starred in a few theatre productions.

Anything held back (more academics) was more motivation/focus related than fear of bullying.
