In Syria, I was never bullied by other students, for being tall and giant compared to midget Syrians, that was the case for me and my other Somali friends at school until some Somali girls came to our school, they were four, 3 of them were at 6th grade and the last 5th grade, like us.
They started with harassment on the break time, so we immediately stood to them, and that what made us a target to them. The harassments were unintentional or weren't considered harassment "at least to them" as we discovered later. One of these harassments happened to my friend's brother at 6th grade, the strongest of them bushed him in the line when they to moved to class, and when he asked "why you bushed me" she replied with " I don't know". It seemed that they didn't consider that as harassment. Eventually, we became a target.
They fought very well, run faster than most of us (Somali boys) as we discovered when we tried to run away from them if the fight went in their favor, the catch and beat us to the ground while running. The break between lessons becomes like a horror whenever we see them. To be honest, they looked buff, like Jojo characters, and masculine compared to other Somali girls in the school. That continued until they were moved to another school.
