I have a last name that is absolutely perfect for bullying which lead to many fights throughout my school career. Even though I was never the aggressor I was the one expelled. I was never an A student, but losing my friends and having to travel over an hour to the next school (along with a myriad of home issues) made me drop out. I worked a couple of retail jobs, but ended up working as a grain bin builder for 10 years. Made good money doing that. Better money than people I know with 4 year degrees and massive debt. Now that we're older my last name is cool. It doesn't get me bullied it gets laughs with me instead of at me.
