Lewis was the target of some bullying

Lewis' extensive connections to Oxford and Cambridge led some people to believe he was an Englishman, which is one of the interesting facts about C.S.Lewis. But truth he was Irish, having been born on November 29, 1898, in Belfast, Ireland. He was so Irish that his distinctive Irish accent caused him to be ridiculed when he initially started attending school in England. This made him dislike the English, but over years of engagement, he overcame his prejudice.

When Lewis first arrived in England, he was subjected to a certain cultural shock: "No Englishman will be able to appreciate my initial impressions of England," he wrote in Surprised by Joy. The English scenery was the worst, the unusual dialects with which I was surrounded "seemed like the voices of devils." "I have made up the disagreement afterward, but at that time I formed a hatred for England which took many years to cure."

Besides, Lewis experienced bullying in school because he wasn't good at athletics. Because Lewis had a single-jointed thumb rather than a two-jointed thumb like other people. He was unable to throw, catch, or hit balls due to his hand anatomy. Despite this, Lewis liked working out hard, and he was incredibly athletic. He enjoyed riding his bike, swimming, rowing, and quick treks across the countryside through rocky hills and mountains.
