    The issue with bullies in school is that the kids that they bullied will always remember them even if they don't remember anyone else from school. I am in my 40s and still remember the name of every kid who bullied me, but I couldn't tell you the names of the most of the kids who left me alone unless I was actually friends with them. I don't think it is a good thing to be remembered in that way from school. Bullies are the worst.

    I bumped into my High School bully in a Safeway a few blocks from my old childhood house back before I moved elsewhere. Guy has 3 kids and a family now. He apologized profusely for his actions in high school. Both to me and my mother. We were getting Safeway deli food there that day. He told me that he was just being a little turd and he didn't know any better.
    A few years later I encountered my middle school bully. He was the worst. He'd torment me in middle school, always verbally. Then, one night when I'm out with family at The Cheesecake Factory, I look over and there he is, having dinner with his mom and sister. I leaned over to his table and told him, in front of his mother, that I forgave him for utterly tormenting me in middle school. Bear in mind he was/is black and so is his mom. His mom said nothing, but gave my old bully a look that said "when we get home, you are going to need surgery, your beating is going to be that severe."

    I have one story where a girl was actually mean to me in junior high. She actually apologize to me in high school for it, she had a really bad homelife and was acting out. The second one I was married and in a bar 'n' grill restaurant. Had one of my high school bullies approach me and asked me how I was doing and apologize for how he treated me. He gave me a gift card for the restaurant, and it covered our meals.

    Not just any bully, but my(I'm 25) older sister (27) who got pregnant just a month after I cut her out of my life, resorted to calling me a spoiled brat when she texted me about her 3rd baby trap being born 😂 I told her I wanted nothing to do with her. That's all I said. And she says "ok spoiled brat" which resulted in her finding out that I've been able to take care of myself and a cat despite being depressed. She still called me a brat. How mature. She said "I just wanted you to meet your niece" I already know my niece. She's 10 and lives with my parents, and has been since she was 6 months old.
    Now, I still feel like a teenager, I may act like a teenager, but I'm not immature enough to call someone names just because they won't roll over for me, actually, I don't expect anyone to roll over for me.
    My sister completely disregards my traumas (includes slavery, grooming, SA, child loss and dr*g abuse) to make me out to be a bad person.
    The last I heard from her was when she decided to message my best friend to talk sht about me. She said "I don't know why he's with her" referring to my boyfriend of 3 years (and is coming to visit next week) as if I had any bad qualities that really mattered. She only ever sees the negative in me, but doesn't recognize that I'm creative, I'm funny, I try my best to be kind, and I'm socially awkward, but very likable. (You can thank her for the social deficit. She sabotaged me to the point that I was kicked out of the LGBTQ+ clubs despite struggling with my gender identity) Like I could write a whole novel trilogy of things she did to me in the last 20 ish years.

    The only time I was ever really bullied was more of a betrayal than anything else.
    In sophomore year, a girl I went to middle school and high school with was caught recording me without my consent for unknown reasons. I didn’t find out about this until the vice principal and my art teacher told me: she was even suspended for that a few times before, they said. They also revealed it wasn’t just me she was taking advantage of, she’d tried to hurt some of my other friends, too (in what ways, I never found out).
    I scolded her after class and stopped being friends with her, and she wasn’t allowed to attend the same classes as me from then on. She was also withheld from graduation when we were seniors. Beyond that, I’m not quite sure what else happened to her since then, and I don’t really care, either. I have a lot of great friends so why should she have my permission to spoil others’ happiness?

    My bullying revenge story was purely accidental. I was called ugly from elementary school through high school, in high school I was a “whore” ironically I’d only slept with who would become my husband now ex husband, but the biggest one was that I was bullied for being poor. Now every bully I’ve met is looking hell haggard, some I know for a fact have yearly incomes that are just two months worth of my household income, some have several kids by several fathers. I never wished them any ill, I didn’t hate them but man does it feel good to know life or karma or whatever you want to call it brought it back around to them.

    Since graduating, I've met a few people from school who were bullies or just general assholes. Almost every time, they tried to be nice, acting like we were old friends, and every time I told them off.
    I don't care if you're just trying to be nice, you can't just pretend that the past never happened. At least have the sense to acknowledge what a dick you were to me and others and apologize before trying to chat me up. Otherwise, I got more important things to worry about.

    I received a FB friend request from a bully I had in junior high school.
    I deleted his request without responding. I told a lady friend of mine about it, and she said, "Maybe he was reaching out to apologize." I said, "Yeah, and maybe he was thinking about picking up where he left off."
    She said that I should have given him a chance, and I said that if he wants forgiveness, he can go to church. In my mind, I had long ago forgiven him for his mistreatment, but I wasn't going to let him back in my life. That chapter of my life was closed, and I wasn't going to risk reliving it on the off chance that he has a guilty conscience.
    In that situation, he has everything to gain, no matter which path he chose. I didn't owe him anything, so why seek trouble?

    I remember just having a horrible month at the time. I've been keeping all the stress bottled up for who knows how long. I'm good at that. And holding grudges for years. It got up to the point that my boss and teammates said I was really screwing up the usually upbeat mood. And it happened when I was in ny hometown for the weekend. I was outside a 7/11 and someone attacked me. I remembered the words "I used to pick on this bitch in highschool."
    The rest was blurry. I just remembered seeing red and not knowing what happened. I just remembered holding a broken bottle and holding the guy by his lapel and his friend ran. I didn't say a word until I got home. I just remembered going to my old room and I woke up slightly cooled off the next morning but still in a horrible mood.

    I was at the cemetery visiting my parents' grave. While walking, I ran into my high school bully.
    His headstone was probably 100 feet away from my parents. He had died 11 years after graduation.
    I stopped, said a prayer for him, and forgave him for his mistreatment of me.
    Later, I thought, "If the roles were reversed and he stood before my grave, would he pray for me?"
    Truth is, probably not. He would probably laugh.

    I think the one where the OP made the partng comment of how as kids its all blank and white and that people that were mean to you were made worse until they looked like monster. Only to realise later that they are just people. And to hold a grudge against them is like holding a grudge against a child.
    Was a nice outlook on it. (not exactly what the OP said in that post)
    Now some people really can't be forgiven, but many others were dumb teens using every leverage to be on top.
    I have had my share of bullies. Years later I met one and learned that to him, it was just a game.
    But he realised later that it might have been fun for him and his friends, but more than likely not for me.
    I also dropped a friend back then because I realised he would bully me into doing what he wanted to do.
    One example was shouting at me and not letting e say a word. Joke was on him that time.
    We were supposed to talk out a seating arrangement for the next day, and while he went home thinking he won. I waited for the teacher to return.
    Told the teacher what happened and I ended up getting what I wanted instead while he got called out for it.
    I hope he grew up better because his mother coddled him without realizing that she was coddeling him.
    And then you had my sister's BFF who pretended to be a friend for years only she took every guy my sis was interested in (she only realised later), isolated my sis from the rest of the class by clinging to her nonstop and later on started to exclude my sister from their friendgroup only to cry to the teachers when my sister fully cut her off.
    Bonus is that my sister became much nicer once she dropped the toxic waste.
    Dissapointing part is that I would have given her a beating if I had known immediately when it was happening or if she dared to show up at our house.
    (sis hid it from me on purpose, but did inform our parents)

    I have 2 stories the 1st the kid wasnt really my bully we were actually friends. However after a misunderstanding where he thought i snitched on him he decided that about 8 dudes including himself would jump when i was coming out a convenient store. My cousin was with me so when he said leave him alone they jumped him. I ran down maybe 3 houses where my friend lived & got him & his bro to come help us so the guys took off. Anyways i ended up pretty mich being the latino Fresh Prince because my mom sent me to live with my aunt uncle & cousins in a nicer neighborhood because when she went to report it at my Jr HS were told he got expelled because he had a gun on him so my mom got scared. Anyways i ran into him in my early 30's & he looked homeless & was collecting cans when he asked for money. He then recognized me & acted like nothing happened. Oh as a teen he was very athletic & had some muscle on him when i saw him he looked malnourished. No lie i felt bad for him but at the same time i did say damn talk about karma.
    In case youre wondering the misunderstanding was that him & a bunch of kifs from my Jr HS has gone to a rival school & started a riot. Some of them got fingered out so they were called to the office including another dude i had in math class. When the teacher said he had seen him earlier in the day does any1 know where hes at all i said was i saw him in the office during my 2nd period where i was an office assistant as my elective. Somehow this got turned into im the one who turned not only him but any1 who was caught. So 1 day during lunch break the kid in my class & his friends confronted me. Luckily i was playing ⚽️ with friends so they had my back. They called me a snitch but i explained what happened & they he apologized but told me to watch out for the other guy because hes crazy. I didnt put much thought into it since again he was my friend since 1st grade plus i figured if i saw him i could explain things. However i never got chance since he got expelled.

      My second story the guy also started off as a friend only he actually turned into a bully once we got to HS. Now it wasnt an every day thing & some ppl might even try to say he was just messing with me. But he had this pocket 🔪 & would always slash at me he never cut me but when I would yell him to stop messing around he would talk 💩 & call me a coward. He also messed another friend of ours. I think he took kindness for weakness because I wasn't scared of a fight I just didn't wanna be suspended so I usually just ignored the haters but I did throw down when it got physical & not just verbal. I also didnt like fighting my friends so since I didnt fight back he took it as a sign of weakness. Anyways when I was 20 I moved to TX for a few years when I came back to Cali I had gone to a Mariscos restaurant (Mexican seafood) with my bro & low & behold I ran into him & life wasnt too kind to him. He was about 50 lbs overweight at least but worst of all he was drunk & it was only noon He sat with us & talked about how he had gotten divorced & moved back home but got kicked out for his drinking.

    With such adverse reactions to the very topic, you’d think “everyone puts another person under their thumb at some point”, and thus these people think they should be forgiven when they did horrible things to other people?
    Correct me, if I’m wrong about this assertion though - or don’t if you think I won’t learn from you. I don’t care either way.
