Not to sound like a complete asshole, but I wasn't regularly picked on as a child. The New York kids I grew up with knew better than to pick on each other and once we moved to Arizona, I was too much of an unknown for any serious attempts by the overly sheltered teens at school. Which isn't to say there weren't a few feeble attempts (i.e. the Jews have curly hair to hide our horns, Christ Killer and things like that) but when someone is culturally and religiously sensitive to curse words (really, they call it cussing) the last thing you do is pick on someone who has been able to curse like a sailor practically from birth.
