I used to get bullied for being so small. I was really short until I was 16, then I grew a foot taller.
That's just my - I think that I made a decision when I was 16 - I grew up in a family that I was taught there was a God and all that, but I didn't really have a relationship with Christ until I was 16. And that was a game changer for me. That's really become the foundation of my life.
When I went to college, being thin was seen as good, so everyone told me I was normal. Then you get older, and you start putting on weight, and you're like, 'Oh God, I used to be really small.' Then you get into the world of media, and you just feel the pressure massively.
It used to be that I wanted to be taller. Once I made 5-foot-1, I was happy.
I allowed myself to be bullied because I was scared and didn't know how to defend myself. I was bullied until I prevented a new student from being bullied. By standing up for him, I learned to stand up for myself.
I'm really, really short. And when I'm on TV, it looks like I'm tall, but I'm really not. I think I'm like just over 5-foot, or not even. Yeah, I'm really small.
I used to think that God's gifts were on shelves one above the other and that the taller we grew in Christian character, the more easily we should reach them. I find now that God's gifts are on shelves one beneath the other and that is not a question of growing taller, but of stooping lower and that we have to go down, always down to get His best ones.
The videos have given us a younger audience. You know, our audience grew up with us until the videos, and they were beginning to get a little long in the tooth. Then the videos came along, and now we've recaptured the 16-year-old girls. The 16-year-old girls!
I used to lie down on the grass and draw the blades as they grew - until every square foot of meadow, or mossy bank, became a possession to me.
I have always been short, and most people want to be taller. That's sort of a thing, but I love being short.
And that really captures the difference for the bullied straight kid versus the bullied gay kid, is that the bullied straight kid goes home to a shoulder to cry on and support and can talk freely about his experience at school and why he's being bullied. [...] And I couldn't go home and open up to my parents.
I grew up in Mexico until I was 16, and then we moved to San Antonio because my dad's business was headquartered there.
I grew up in the Midwest and never really felt at home there, and when I got to New York, I was really fearless. I feel like I really fell in love with the the place. But then, it's a place where your world is really big at first and then becomes really small. I found myself hardly leaving my neighborhood, like I made it into a small town.
I went to a mixed school and I can't remember being bullied at school, ever. I was quite large, in those days. Usually, if you're going to be a bully, you'll pick on someone who is small. I didn't bully anybody, and I don't remember being bullied.
You'd assume I was being bullied a tonne at school and it was horrible, but in reality, I really was getting bullied everywhere else.
I'm a whopping 5 foot 4 inches tall. I'm not going to get any taller.
I was the naughty kid that the teachers liked. I bullied a kid in the 1st year when I was in the 2nd, who then hit puberty like a plane crash and grew into a gorilla who bullied me when he was in the 4th year and I was in the 5th. That's Karma.
