Bullied by Teenagers at 28: Finding Strength in Unexpected Places

It's pretty embarrassing to admit, but I got bullied by a group of teenagers during my sailing class. As a 28-year-old grad student who’s never set foot on a boat before, I felt completely out of place. The undergrads mocked everything about me—my accent, my looks, even my intelligence. The worst part? The teacher just brushed it off. I tried to stand up for myself, but it felt like shouting into the wind. Honestly, it shook my confidence. But maybe there’s a lesson here about resilience and self-worth, even when you’re outnumbered. Has anyone else faced something like this? How did you handle it?
