Bullies
I got in to a conversation with someone a short time ago about bullies. It was interesting because she told me that she was a bully when she was younger and I told her that I was bullied. I was lucky with regards to my bullies. I wasn’t heavily tormented like some are, I was pushed around and threatened because I was a geek and week but never beaten up. I remember all my bullies and sometimes I wonder if they remember me. I wonder what I would say to any of them if I met them now. I’m not sure to be honest. I sometimes do internet searches for them but I always come up with nothing.
This friend of mine said she does indeed remember being a bully and those she pushed around. She admitted that she wouldn’t know what to say if she was confronted with those from her past. I told her that they probably haven’t forgotten her and chances are still hold on to some resentment towards her. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t. In fact, I secretly hope they’re unsuccessful in what ever they’re doing now. Does that make me a bad person to wish that?
So now the big question, where you bullied when you where younger? What would you say to those people now. Or maybe you where a bully and if so how do you feel about who you where (assuming that you no longer bully people that is).
