Woman Gets Revenge On Her School Bullies: “I Made It So They Won’t Ever Get A Job In Their Chosen Degree”

Might be controversial but I don't agree it's petty. Why should the bullies get to work in caring professions? The potential harm to patients isn't worth the risk of allowing it to happen and I'm glad she was stopped from getting the job. Apologising only when she wanted something... no. I was bullied. It matters and usually all too little is done to the perpetrators. Sorry, might be because I've been on the receiving end and so it skews my thinking but I'm with the OP.

I'd say the real problem is the school and the parents. They should be paying the highest price for not taking care of kids.

Leave it up for ten years.

I work in mental and behavioral health. And there is a saying that should be professionally applied. “If you haven’t sought therapy for your own problems, you probably shouldn’t be working with others on theirs”. I’ve been a patient, and have had a pretty damaging encounter with a provider who did not follow this rule. I for one, am all for the above bullies not being employed in mental health until they complete their own growing.

I got bullied in highschool... 20/25 years ago. And STILL I cant really get over it. Just the idea of ever seeing those people again makes my skin crawl. I was near the school a month ago for a farmers market. Even knowing it is an entire new building (they build a new school over the old one that was torn down.. should have been there when they took it down) it still got to me. I never come near that place ever again, just to full of bad memories.

What's really concerning to me is how often school bullies end up in caring professions. A girl who has driven me to near suicide is now working with disabled children. Another high school bully is a psychiatrist. Another girl (I never had a run-in with her but she was seen as the OG mean girl at school) is a psychologist. I get that teenage girls are a category of themselves, I've read many, many papers on the phenomenon since then. But I do wonder how the magnificent personality of these people affects the industry and the care they provide. Essentially, they are given (almost) unsupervised access to the same kind of people they've spent years abusing.

As someone who was horribly bullied at home and at school, I am on the fence. It is hard to forgive people who knowingly damage you. However, two wrongs don't make a right. A lot of people have to answer for not helping you. If it was so well-documented, why wasn't anything done? My biggest issue here is how these women got into their fields without anyone looking at their past. OP has a right to call them out, but why did it take so long for someone to find out about their behaviors? I also dislike the idea that a social media post can exclude you from a job. I am glad OP feels better, but when does the cycle stop?

I am glad OP put up the post. This is great. Bullies getting the revenge they deserve. Well played OP. Well played. PS: I hope you can mend the wounds from a decade of bullying, that is horrible.

Schools are aware these b*tches were making someone miserable and they did nothing - how utterly criminal. Perhaps schools and parents getting sued would put a stop to this kind of harrassment.

I am 52 now and still have a lot of mental health issues from being bullied for years at school.

I think that one comment about them not deserving that was made by one of the bullies, lol. I hope this actually does wreck their careers before they even start.

The comment about the therapist talking her patient at the family dinner triggered a memory of something I wish I reported many years ago. It was 2007, I was at a popular bar and this sloppy drunk girl was in the bathroom and talking about someone telling EVERYONE she could. She was talking about a girl I heard of but didn't know, very beautiful and made many jealous and slept and was a model at the race track. That's all I knew of her and her name. A lot of people knew her name. This other woman (drunk slovenly mess) worked at my OBGYN office reception. She had access to all the files and told every one who would listen that this girl had been treated for 2 STDs and has herpes. I was so disturbed I wish I got her fired. I changed OBGYN offices but this article comments reminded me of the incident. People who breach confidentiality laws need to be brought up on criminal charges

I had a school bully for 6 years - from 7th to 12th grade. He was relentless and made me feel awful on a daily basis. It wasn't just me either, he had many victims. A few years later when we were both in college I ran in to him during the summer while I was home working. He apologized, saying he regretted the things he had done to me in school. While I appreciated the thought, I never really forgave him. I didn't owe him that. All it would have done was make him feel better about his behavior - I'm still the one who suffered the abuse. I never would have done anything to affect his livelihood, but I honestly wasn't sad to hear that as an adult he was estranged from his family due to a drinking problem. I'm not sure I believe in karma, but......

im gonna say it. i have an anxeity disorder and its so bad i need to b on disability bc i cant do anything or go anywhere without my husband, family member or close friend. i havent made a new friend on my own since 2012 (not including my husband i happened to use the hotel parking lot where he worked for jogging laps so there was repeat encounters). i wouldve lived a fairly normal life if something didnt make my already bad anxeity disorder spiral out of control. that something was bullies. i graduated high school in 2008. i started getting bullied in middle school but it got worse my freshman year of high school. i got the nickname floppy fish bc i had a seizure while at school. high schoolers r smart enough to kno a seizure is dangerous yet my bullies who were picking on me to begin with not only witnessed the whole thing and did nothing but they were the cause. my panic attacks can get so bad they trigger my epilepsy. i was being bullied the were crowding around me cornering me which made me have a panic attack and they thought it was hilarious so they kept going. next thing i kno im lying on the ground barely able to move with drool coming out of my mouth and they r laughing hysterically. the next thing i heard was a teacher screaming at another student to call 911 and the teacher yelling at my laughing bullies. they didnt stop either. it wasnt until the cops who came with the emts told them that i couldve died. thats wen they stopped laughing. that didnt stop them tho the moment i was back in school its like the cops words went in one ear and out the other. they called me floppy fish and other names referencing the seizure. my dad told me to hold out until graduation. during senior year they all turned 18 before me during that time they caused 4 more seizures. all my dad said was "now we do something". my dad called the cops to press charges against each of the bullies responsible. they were arrested not only bc of the fact they were now adults but they endangered the life of a minor. all of them had a repeat senior year, they had a criminal record and their parents sided with me and my parents. all 6 of them cant get their dream jobs due to their record. bully number 7 stopped after the first seizure and y is that? they wanted to b a cop and they knew i could ruin it for them bc of the situation. after high school number 7 apologized to me. i accepted their apology cuz they did stop bullying me completely. she even said her reason was bc i have a medical issue. even if it was for the sake of her future she did aknowledge the bullying was bad for my health and life in general. i respected that. i never got an apology from 1 through 6. i mean they were arrested before winter break even started and werent allowed back until next year to repeat senior year. the 2nd half of my senior year was a calm one. alot of ppl came out telling me they wanted to help me, they wanted to stop them etc but they were all scared of them too. to this day im still friends with the others who were bullied and wanted to help me. im also friends with bully number 7 she is the friend i made 2012. she contacted me to tell me she decided to become an emt instead of a cop. but bullies 1 thru 6 r the reason my anxeity spiraled out of control making it impossible for me to live a normal life. the trauma of wat they did and the fact the teachers couldnt protect me no matter how many times my parents begged is still with me. my dad definitely took the revenge he did bc he had had enough and yes it was extreme but it was also the reality of the situation. i wasnt 18 yet and they were. 3 of the 4 seizures went unnoticed. the 4th seizure ended up happening just as school ended and all sports ppl were walking to the locker rooms. a whole bunch of students and teacher saw it. i dont feel bad at all bc their bullying could have actually resulted in that one seizure that ended my life. thankfully i knew ways to prevent that due to previous seizure hospital trips. the thing is.....wat if i didnt? theyd b given charges much worse then endangerment if the worst case scenario happened. especially since multiple students and a teacher remembered wat the cops told them wen they caused the first seizure. they knew wat could happen but kept bullying me anyways.

I have never read something more satisfying in my life.

The whole premise of this post frightens me. This woman might have been the victim of vile bullies but if social media posts from one person can screw up an entire career, it's very easy to imagine this getting misused. All it takes is one crazy person who you looked at the wrong way once.

she did the right thing. She is saving animals, vulnerable people, and those grieving the losses of animals.

maybe if their degrees were in something else, where they wouldn't have people or animals at their mercy, then i would say OP is an AH. but because they are looking for careers where they could potentially abuse others without notice, i think OP was in the right to post their past actions. who else would tell potential employers that they've committed serious abuses and assault against someone? do you want your pet or family member "cared for" by someone who did these kinds of things just 3 years ago?

I am probably in the minority, but I was bullied as young kid. Punched randomly, thrown in a trash can. Backpack thrown over walls. Called names and talked c**p about. Beaten up. Chased. Etc. Anyway you get the idea. Anyway. I don’t wish anything bad for those people. They were dumb kids and I made it easy for them, I never fought back. I was the new kid. It got better and I stopped putting up with it and making friends, getting involved at school. After high school none of it mattered I became who I wanted to be. Started fresh and moved on. Kids are dumb but most adults are pretty cool, nice and caring. I’m not afraid, I’m not angry about it, I just don’t care. It was so long ago ago and I’m a different person and I know they are too. I’ve met many of them later in life and some have turned out pretty well.

I also was extremely bullied, by teachers and students and my mum, 6 schools I went to because of it. I would never EVER do this to someone and stooop to their level. We all change once we leave school and 3 yrs of growth after leaving a school yard isn’t uncommon in decent human beings. Sounds like she let the s**t get the better of her and she stooped to their level. She sounds like a horrendously hurt person but she also needs to reflect on vengeful and spiteful behaviour, being she’s not in school anymore.

I understand why you did what you did, but honestly I think you did the wrong thing sabotaging their future carriers. I can relate I was relentlessly bullied throughout school by the same group of people. In the long run it made me a stronger person. What happened in the past happened; you can't change that, & yes it still hurts looking back 20+ years in my case. But why sink to their level.
