Yes, me too, but not exactly mocked, just treated like I was an embarrassment yet nothing was ever done to help me. No speech therapy or medical care for migraines from age 5. They did think I wasn't thin enough and they did get me diet pills by age 13. I was never obese, only could have lost 10-15 lbs. That was a priority to them! So, I was a stuttering, depressed, child suffering from migraines, and all that bothered them was that I could have weighed 10-15 lbs. less!
