I can relate. I was bullied by peers in school. In the 70's, my freaky Mormon parents (mainly an jerk step dad) made me cut my hair short like a missionary, when everyone at the public school got to wear Andy Gibb / David Cassidy haircuts, like in the links, with the parting of the hair down the middle, and feathered to the sides. This hairstyle was "evil" according to my TBM parents.

Finally, I started growing, muscles got bigger, and I was able to protect myself. I was also bullied by Polynesians at church, I was the "polongee" kid that they didn't like. Just craziness. I got it from both sides growing up - school and church.
I really like what Dr. No and EOD stated above. It's normal to have revenge fantasies. For instance, there was this one guy in mid-school that always referred to me as that "short haired freak." Now as a 55 year who bench presses over 400, into body building, and in the best shape of my life...I fantasize about confronting him. Will I? Na...just soothing to think about like EOD described. My advice, start exercising brother...every morning. Gets rid of that anxiety from the past. Peace be with you.
