This Troper is Asian and always lived in foster homes in African-American neighborhoods. You do the math.

A lot of people find This Troper has always been the Red-nosed Reindeer because she apparently looks scary or too aloof and acts too stoic ect. Not that this troper minds, being a quiet introvert with a very good but small group of friends but she has also been picked on for her appearance, medical problems, musical knowledge, being a gamer girl, love of anime (Japan in general) and her disinterested reaction to any of the associated insults.

Hello, soul mate. :)

This troper is ostracized from most of her classes for being to hyper/stupid, but her being the {{Genius Ditz}} has gotten most of their respect by letting them copy her notes they're too lazy to take themselves.

This Troper has dealt with this for being smart. Once, having a real bad day, backhanded someone, OffhandBackhand style, and didn't get in trouble even though I bloodied him. Also, this troper has been insulted for his weight, name, likes, dislikes, hatred of (c)rap, love of rock, love of metal, love of VideoGames, love of Halo, and other things too numerous to count.

You do realize this trope is about ''helping'' those who ostracized you, right? Something tells me you're just as vitriolic as the people insulting you.

From what it says on the main page, this can apply to heroes or villians...

Being smart AND popular is pretty hard in most schools - until they find out that you are an irreplaceable asset in the class. If you are smart, but you don't help others, expect this to happen. But if you DO help others, and are usually friendly and sociable, you might be popular - or at least they won't insult you. Trust me, I'm speaking of experience.

You usually won't be insulted. Despite my willingness to do the majority of any group project by myself (I do NOT trust other people with my grades) and my tendency to help other people with their homework if they ask nicely, I have caught flak for my love of Star Trek. In general, though, the above troper is quite correct.

This troper continually gets called upon to assist people at her job who, at other times, have done their part to make her life very difficult through backstabbing, gossip, and excessive criticism. It's a subversion, because as soon as they get what they need from her, they go right back to the unpleasant behaviors. Troper doesn't have much choice in the matter, however, because these people are the ones who sign her paychecks.

Are you me?

This troper is still in school, and is the victim of "harmless but annoying and constant teasing." Nevertheless, she somehow always happens to have money/knowledge/AppliedPhlebotinum/anything someone else needs at the right time(wich makes her feel like she's CrazyPrepared), her KryptoniteFactor are PuppyDogEyes, and after that, in the end StatusQuoIsGod, good thing that GoodFeelsGood... this troper is Pathetic.

Many of the other boys in elementary picked on me all the time because was so small, thin, and sickly so for the longest time I mainly had female friends, only until I built up my confidence and fought back did I gain their respect.

This troper has to put up with much of her class using her as a free aswer key (has all the answers, and is only there for their convenience). When she starts to ramble on about complex ideas like how to use a black hole to travel in to the future, they sometimes say "shut up." in a very careless, indifferent way.

This Troper was always considered as some kind of weirdo, because of her many interests and the fact she was probably the only girl in a small town in Poland who drooled over old video games and fictional characters. Hilariously those games taught her English (albeit still flawed) and she was often asked for help with it, by the same people who used to laugh at her a few years back. Now she lives in the UK, but around Polish diaspora, she's still the weird one.

This troper was bullied from second grade through 12th grade.....and then again at some youth group. Needless to say, expect that revengefic out soon......

Awww. Do you need a hug? *tacklehugs* Same story, only for me it was second through sixth. Lucky me. :(

This Troper gets this for being the nerdy smart girl... and then people need help with homework. Yeah. She is also, according to a test the entire school took, one of the few people for whom leadership comes very naturally. This shows up pretty well in group work, where she always ends up being the one who keeps people focused and decides who will do what, except when paired with another leader-type student, whose greater popularity means that this troper will be almost ignored completely; that is, until everyone runs out of ideas and they need to run to her. Do they accept her help once her idea nets them a good grade? Nope. It's back to the CornerOfWoe and Social Ostracism for her, because her classmates all seem to assume LonersAreFreaks.

People who play their GBA/DS at school? Get picked on. Students who are remotely smart? Get bullied. Kids who try to sit off by themselves and ignore everyone else anyway? Get harassed anyway. If they end up working in a group with the assholes and help them along? Even half the time, they still get pushed around. All of the above? Hello, nice to meet you, I'm a walking bullseye.

Similar, only I read. Nice to meet you, too. :)

I was bullied from second grade through sixth grade for various reasons and I wasn't even sure what I was doing wrong, considering that I had a stunning lack of social skills. A girl made a website saying *slanderous* things about me and *she didn't even get in trouble.* ''Grrrrr.'' I'm still mad, two/three years later.

This troper is a {{Genius Ditz}}, book geek, {{Meganekko}}, absolute loner, wearer of black, lover of yaoi, supporter of gay rights, not to mention extemely fangirl, antisocial and fiction-centric. She's not very popular, but during group work and so on, everyone is my best mate.
