I got teased and bullied about it every day for the next 3 1/2 years. But, bad as it was, it wasn't even close to the worst thing that ever happened to me either before or since. I sincerely hope that incident remains your worst experience, but I think you should look around at the rest of the world and be a little grateful for it.
Stevie, while from your perspective, it might not seem as bad as all that given the kind of experiences you had, you shouldn't dismiss what others go through as somehow not being all that bad. Maybe to you, it seems a trifle, but for her, this was a traumatic day just prior to high school that led to continued trauma, depression and anxiety. I also hope that this was her worst experience, but that doesn't mean I think it wasn't all that bad. For her, it was.
