Bullying can take many forms. This intentional aggressive behavior involves an imbalance of power and can be physical, verbal, or relational. For example, while boys often target others with their fists, girls have powerful weapons of their own, such as social exclusion.
Kids who are bullied are more likely to experience depression and anxiety, increased feelings of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep and eating patterns, and loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy. These issues may even persist into adulthood.
However, harassing others doesn't do the perpetrators any good as well. In fact, they have a greater chance to abuse alcohol and other drugs in adolescence and as adults, get into fights, vandalize property, and drop out of school, engage in early sexual activity, have criminal convictions and traffic citations as adults, be abusive toward their romantic partners, spouses, or children as adults.
Interested in their fates, Reddit user FattyMacDaddy made a post on the platform, asking everyone, "What happened to the bully in your class?" And it went viral! Here are some of the most memorable stories from the 14,400 comments it has received.

She did an insane amount of growing up during college, including having to uproot her whole life to care for her family after her mom died suddenly. She reached out to me and others I know personally and directly addressed the bullying. We went out to lunch (she bought) and she was incredibly honest. Apologizing and acknowledging what she did and why it was wrong. She’s now running a successful animal rescue organization with her long-term boyfriend and I wish her nothing but happiness.
A nice story on here, wasn't expecting that but I'm glad it was here
Back in high school (90s), a guy got handsy with me. I told him to stop, he didn't, I left. Honestly not okay, but many less okay things happened. Didn't have a huge impact on me. What did have an impact was the phone call I got a few years later from him. Acknowledging the interaction was a sexual assault and apologizing. Changed my view of the world, for the better.
My bully died recently. While it's awful for their family I can't bring myself to feel sad about it very much. This person spent 6 years sexually harassing and bullying me. I ended up in therapy over it. I should note that this person bullied LOTS of people, it wasn't just me. However due to the fact that our last names are similar I ended up "alphabetized" next to them frequently - so I couldn't just avoid them. When I was home from college one summer I ran in to my bully. They apologized for being awful to me when we were in school. While I appreciate that they were able to recognize their behavior was wrong, it didn't really change anything about I felt towards them. Because the damage was done and I will never be able to get those years back. I'm not required to accept any apology. Sorry if that makes me seem petty, but it's how I feel. Hopefully the apology made a difference for them. From what I hear they struggled with life as a adult due to alcohol abuse.
Like you said- you are not required to accept any apology and that does NOT make you seem petty.

Wow. That's a spiritual turnaround of epic dimension. I wish her all happiness too.
After years and years of being bullied in middle and high school by one particular guy. I took my dad's lawnmower in to get serviced and look who we have here. Good ol racist f**k boy Shaun walks up to the counter covered in dirt and oil and sweat. He immediately knew who I was. Funny thing is I hated this dude for so long, I even had a vision on snatching him by his shirt over the counter and beating his face into the ground( I was skinny skater punk now)
Nothing was said between us during that interaction other than the services I needed When I went to go pick the lawn mower up a week later he asked me to step outside. In my mind, I'm thinking this is it, I'm going pumble this dude. He lit up a cigarette and for about 15 minutes, apologized for how he treated me in middle school and high school. He told me about how he was brought up and he's never been as tough as he came up.
After high school he went in the military and was forced to work with other races. He even explained that his hatred towards people that weren't white faded away bc of the Marines. He said he had been f****d over more by his own race then others and started to think about his ideology. He is a humble guy now, with regret, but is man enough to admit his faults. We shook hands and even hugged. I haven't seen him in about 10 years but, if I do see him again I still shake his hand.
Excellent spiritual reboot. It takes thought and guts too see the light.
F**k boy, Isn't that a guy that's you're sexually attracted to but would not want a relationship with? Am I wrong?
its kind of like those guys on tiktok thirst traps, i think

OH OH I HAVE THE BEST ONE FOR THIS GUYS: promise!!
So my bully was a guy, I’m a chic, and he was RELENTLESS. From kindergarten through middle school. Peaked in middle school. He would stick his leg out and trip me when I would walk by then laugh. C**p like that. He annoyed everyone. Imposed on your personal space. Would tell lots about me to others so they would not like me. It really bothered me deeply bc I could not understand what I had done to have someone so adamant about humiliating and hurting me. Publicly.
Well. After middle school he disappeared to some other school and I slowly repressed it all and forgot of him in my active thoughts.
Then I get my first apartment with a friend and a real job and going to college. I’m sitting on my new couch in my new place watching to catch a predator. Like every one did back then.
“Next up on to catch a predator: “ and I hear his name. I hear that jerk offs name. AND THERE HE IS WALKING IN TO MEET AN UNDERAGE GIRL HE HAS VERRRRY DISGUSTING TEXT CONVOS WITH. I could not believe it. I stood up and screamed aloud. I felt so, vindicated for the feelings of hatred and inability to forgive him as a younger girl.
Justice served!
Prison will be an interesting experience for him. He'll find out what it's like to get bent over against his will.
They love pedophiles and abusers in prison. He'd better hope they don't have a TV, and lie like hell about why he's in there.

But also, can we stop advocating for there to be more rapists in the world? I'd like less rapists, not more. I'd rather he rot in jail, not be tortured by other prisoners who may or may not face their own consequences for their actions.
Those rapists are already in prison. So there not more rapists, but they're limited to raping each other

Used his fathers money to spend 7 years on the other side of the world to complete a 5-year masters degree. Downright slob and a dirtbag who was way more concerned about partying and living large than accomplishing anything in life.
But the plot twist was that his father only would pay for him when he was a student, so when he landed his first job, a basic entry-level position, and had to pay bills and answer to a superior, he was hit hard in the nuts by reality. Instead of lashing out or coping by drinking, he just went "time to learn about life and to become a responsible adult".
Now he has a manager role that pays 75k and lives in a modest apartment, and is one of the nicest, most inclusive guys I know who has no issues admitting his past mistakes and apologize for his behaviour.
People can change.
Didn't realize just how bad his home life was. His father is a terrible human being and a criminal. He and his mom were waiting until he turned 18 to both get out. When we bumped into each other later he apologized for being a jerk. He's changed his name, got married to a lovely person, and finished grad school now. We occasionally talk and keep up on social media. I'm really happy for him.
People can change, but many people don't want to change

This is frequently the case - the bully was bullied him or herself, usually by a parent or older subling.
I may get downvoted. Home life isn't always an excuse for bad behavior. Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no.
Mine always Bullied everyone who wasn’t a football player, jock, or “cowboy” he honed in on me because I was a nerd and more feminine. Turns out he had major major regrets about everything and at his last class reunion (he was two years ahead of me) he tried apologizing to people and a lot of people wouldn’t forgive him for what he did. A lot of it was borderline charges should have been filed type stuff, he made a couple kids s*icidal. Well after a lot of people wouldn’t take his apology I guess he went into a major depression and ended up hanging himself and left a letter stating that he hated who he was, and how he treated people and the pain he inflicted on everyone and that he couldn’t live with himself anymore. The really sad thing is I did run into him not too long before this and he did apologize to me (which I’m surprised he recognized me because I am female presenting now) and I accepted it and told him I didn’t hold anything against him. He really seemed sincere and that he changed. But I understand how some couldn’t forgive the trespasses he made upon them. Sad all the way around. This is why everyone just needs to be nice to everyone, even if you don’t like them, like what they do, or whatever. These stories always end in unnecessary sadness or end of life
Very sad. This is something for the bullies out there to think about
If my ex bully would tell me he's suicidal, I'd buy him a rope and then s**t on his grave. He ruined my personality pretty good and is still a huge asshat.
Fookdat. I took great pleasure in putting a beat down on the SOB who beat me badly enough in grade school to put me in the hospital.
Just awful. You don't need to accept anyone's apology, but please try to listen.
I just looked him up! He makes Youtube videos for ‘work’ in the vein of Andrew Tate. He has 212 subscribers and lives in his mom’s house (recognized it from the vids)
WOW ... 212 subscribers. He's going places /s. Yeah, he's going to stay at his mum's house forever. Pffft
The housing market and the pandemic have eliminated the humor from anyone of any age living with their parents. But 212 subscribers and the Tatesack vibes - Hilarious.
Tatesack is an excellent term for that piece of canine excrement. I'll have to remember it.

I had a fair number of bulliesin high school which was over 25 years ago so I am well past that. One of them several years ago sent me a facebook friend request. I messaged him back and said..."You made the time we were in high school together hell (he was a couple years ahead of me in school), why do you think I would want to friend you?" His response was "If you are still holding onto that you have problems." Which I replied with "No I dont have problems because I cut a******s like you out of my life." and then I blocked him.
A**holes will always try to revert the shame on you. "How come you're not honoring the good behavior I never have with you???"
I received a FB friend request once from a former long-term long-distance boyfriend (back when we were teenagers - he send me the FB request over a decade later). He raped me when we were 18 but never considered it rape. So I told him I did not want to be friends with him on FB, given the real-life facts. He said we were kids and that was along time ago. I also blocked him.
I remember many friend requests coming in at high school graduation, and a few definitely were denied. Graduation did not absolve your awful demeanor for the previous four years.
There’s a difference between internal forgiveness for people who’ve wronged you, which comes with letting go and growing through the trauma, and outwardly forgiving someone, which serves as a form of validation for them. The opposite of forgiveness is “feel bitter about,” “to feel resentful” and “to feel aggrieved at,” which are all unhealthy to carry through life. This āsshole doesn’t deserve the validation of forgiveness. At all. But if OP is carrying around resentment, that IS a problem. Apathy requires forgiveness and apathy is the only way to stop a former bully for having any power over one’s thoughts and feelings.
Things are not just 'over' because they're long past. Actions have consequences, and the victims of bullying have to battle those consequences every day for the rest of their lifes. Even letting go of the past doesn't just magically cure the damage that was done to them. Their personality changed, and that's not just suddenly reversed by time passing. For the victims the bullying is never in the past, it's continuing forever. If a bully doesn't accept their responsibility for that, doesn't apologize earnestly and accepting that in some cases the victims just can't forgive and even then will never be able to forget the behaviour that destroyed their childhood, they've not really changed. They just don't want to remember it.
My bully was the sister of a very famous singer. I never made the connection until adulthood and she sent me a friend request on a school alumni site. I also wrote her back saying she made my school life hell and her excuse was that I was too "girly." Talk about gaslighting. Then I told her that this "girly" person is now a cop, what's she doing now?
When someone tells me to forgive and forget I like to respond with "I'm not Jesus and I don't have dementia". Usually shuts them up.
He's selling mobility scooters and supporting his stepchildren. He was abused at home, and I was an easy target. Back then I fantasised about murdering him, now I appreciate that he was crying out for help. I'm never going to be best friends with him, but I'd shake his hand and wish him well any day.
Thank you for empathizing with his trauma. It can take a long time to unlearn what abusive parents teach you about how to live and who you are. Most people blame the victim and don't see the process, but this person understands, and that means the world to many.
I saw him rush the field at an NFL game and get arrested. Good times!
I am 68. My high school bully was abusive to his wife. He died around age 50 from lung cancer due to his chain smoking. Had cirrhosis of the liver from heavy drinking. He had only a few other jerks for friends, none he could trust. My goal is to outlive my bullies!
Yeah, this doesn't sound like he's going to change any time soon. No light bulb has gone off for him.
I love it when they run onto the field and get absolutely plastered by an LB or Safety
He was killed shortly after being released from prison. He apparently had a beef with someone and went to their house with a gun, kicked in their front door, and was immediately shot and killed.
Had a bully in school get his head cut off when someone strung up a cable across a bridge- and he rode his motorcycle into it..... .no lost sleep over it.

Full ride scholarship through football to a D1 college, scouted by an NFL team in high school, just had to make it 4 years in college. Sexually assaulted a girl at the college, went on the run, had several warrants, got into an argument back in hometown that led to firearm discharge, and now he's in prison.
If only he became an NFL star before the SA; he would probably have no consequences at all
The kid who used to beat me up every day in third grade I heard crashed a motorcycle and lost both his testicles. So he’s got that going for him, which is not nice.
if he had been on a unicycle, he would've only lost one (iyk,yk)
he lost his testicles. at least he can’t have children.
1 died, trying to bully a big tree while driving 50mph, the tree wasn't impressed and decided to bully him back by not moving out of the way just before the bully attempt.
I'd like to hug the tree but i don't know exactly where it happened...
I saw him walking in front of my family's house (certain he was passing by) while I was playing with my daughter and her cousins. He gave me a little wave and I thought I just wave back to be nice. He messaged me later on Facebook and said he's glad I'm doing better than him. Long story short, he told me his ex wife and him are having a serious custody battle with their kid and recently got a DUI which got him in a deeper hole. He basically said don't end up like him. As much as I hope he gets better, karma really is a b***h
He has at least learned that his life is a mess, and at least partly because of his own behaviour (the DUI). Hopefully it'll be the wake-up call he needs. Just a shame it didn't happen before it split a family apart.
He died the summer after graduating high school. Mixed too many drugs and alcohol at a party. Very sad for his younger brother who was a great person despite his brother.
Went to college, got into drugs, lost his scholarship and got kicked out.

The main person to bully me was a kid named Jonathan. He was a massive a*****e. He bullied me relentlessly from 7th grade to junior year in high school. I was talking to a girl I was friends with and he decided it would be the best time to crush up a pack of cookies and dump it on my head. I had long hair and it sent me into a rage. I was fat which is why he bullied me so I couldn’t catch him but one of my friends saw and tripped him as he ran by. I picked him up and slammed him on the ground then punched him in the face a few times before teachers broke it up. A teacher saw the whole thing and was yelling at him before I even got to him. I didn’t get in any trouble other than a few days of in school suspension. He got suspended for a week. He never even looked at me again.
He is currently a homeless junkie in my hometown. Every so often he makes the news or a post from the PD on Facebook because he does stupid crimes like stealing scratch off lottery tickets from stores then tries to cash them in. It’s hilarious
I kind of feel bad for him and wouldn’t exactly use the word hilarious in this situation. Addiction is no joke.
I get your point, but in all fairness. He chose his fate. So...

Load More Replies...My elementary school bully (in S. Korea for context) continued being the bully till high school. Somehow he ambushed and beaten this “the untouchable” student while he was alone. It turned that “untouchable” student was korean mafia son. Bunch of black cars park up at his apartment, burly guys armed with metal pipes and bats would constantly waltz around the neighborhood and make the bully’s family life hell. Apartment neighbors got fed up being terrified with the mafia at their neighborhood (cops will not show up until the mafia dispersed) to the point they pressured the bully’s family to move out at once. Never heard what happened after they moved. Not entirely sure why the bully did that, maybe due to his pride? Maybe a proof he is the “Jjang” (old korean term for a student who is the toughest and strongest brawler, who’d constantly challenge or be challenged by other classes and/or other schools)
Two Mafia hitmen are walking through the forest at night when one of them says I have to admit, it's pretty scary out here. The other replies, You think this is bad? I have to walk back alone
The most likely reason why the bully did it was that he’s just too stupid to realize the day would come when he’d bully the wrong kid, and end up paying dearly for it. He’s lucky they only terrorized him. He could’ve been “disappeared” and sleeping with the fishes instead.
There was a reason the other student was untouchable. Maybe he should ask someone first...

And even more often, when the kids take over the family business, they run it right into the ground. Not always, but I have worked in more than one company, for both the parents who started the business and their children who inherited it, and noticed a huge downturn in both employee morale and profits, once the kids came in—-after never having actually worked there, and really having no idea what the company does or how to run it, or worse, just got their MBA (a piece of s**t degree, btw, and the reason businesses are such s****y places to work and bosses are such a******s these days), and think they can make a healthy and profitable business even better (they can’t)—-with their “new ideas” and plans to “fix” stuff (equipment, procedures, schedules, benefits, etc) that was not only not broken but was also already working extremely well. How the parents could watch that happening and not do anything about it, I don’t know.

Saw him at a party years later. Hung out and had a great time. Made a comment about how cool it is that here we are, kicking it like old friends when we didn’t get along in school. Dude starts bawling his eyes out and telling me how sorry he was. I… didn’t really like it.
His father was caught stealing millions from the community. Dad was a wealth manager and all his clients were friends and neighbours in a sort of small town. The family was really put through the wringer of embarrassment and the bully was a wreck for a long time. I guess he realized all the wealth (and arrogance) that he grew up with was stolen from everyone he knew. I saw him years later and it was like seeing a different person. He had changed his name, walked differently and held himself with a different posture. We spoke for a few minutes and it was almost like he was genuinely interested in me. He didn't go out and say sorry for what he had done but it seemed like he wanted to but though it would be tacky Maybe I'm reading too much into that interaction but it was a little weird. It was like he had been forcing himself to be an actual nice guy.

F****r went on to serve in the military, recently retired. Wish I would have broken his arm worse. As one final bully tactic a few days before graduation he and his f****d up friends spike my drinks at a party. I didn't know i had a condition that my liver doesnt process alcohol right because i didnt party in school. So I drank 8 large solo cups of pink lemonade vodka, and still appeared and sounded completely sober.. I walked out to my car intending to drive home. A friend of mine comes running out of the house and stopped me. Told me what the a******s did and drove me to a friend's house to sleep it off. But we quickly figured out something was wrong. So ER visit. I was 5 times over the legal limit. I could have died or killed someone driving because i didnt know I was drunk off my a*s. And this mother f****r gets to go into the Army with zero repercussions. F**k you Nathan Caruso.

The boy bully married the girl bully, they had a kid then divorced. Shocking
Shocking they got divorced or shocking they’re former bullies who got divorced? 72% of marriages end in divorce so using it ammunition of how they’ve gotten their just desserts as bullies is a disservice to people who divorce. This just reads as divorce is a horrible thing and proper punishment. When divorce is often a matter of survival or life/death for an abused partner or it’s a part of a growth process of being a human that’s not infallible.
He’s on Facebook constantly crying about how unfair life has been to him. He also said he won’t go to our 10 year HS reunion because he was bullied by the “a******s” that are now organizing the reunion. When I commented and reminded him how he bullied me, he just said “at least I didn’t make you s*icidal like they made me.” Completely delusional. I feel bad for him.
The fact that he's a bully doesn't mean he wasn't bullied and suicidal because of that.
True. But he didn’t say sorry. If he knew how hurtful being bullied was and is still upset about it ten years later then I find it strange he was unable to say, “I’m sorry to have upset you but I was feeling depressed.” He seems to think those other bullies were mean but it was fine when he was doing it.

Then got another girl pregnant and married her, rinse and repeat with the beatings and the cops. Then surprisingly became a born again christian, got another wife and another kid, then got arrested again because he was using the bible as a way to justify beating both of them, kid ended up within an inch of his life. Honestly his social media rants were pretty entertaining during this time, multiple bible verses about how its his right to kill his spouse and child and no one should interfere with it because invisible sky daddy agrees with him. Something something women and children are property and not people so the police shouldn't have gotten involved because hitting women and children is like hitting a tv or a toaster. And you'll never guess what happened after he got out, he dropped the whole born again christian thing but everything else is the same, yet another woman who can change him by giving him a kid, and yet another arrest after he beat them.
Maybe he should have had his people print a comic book instead of a text, and kept the words very, very short?

As a Christian, I am appalled by the amount of people that call themselves born again, and then use the Bible to justify their horrible actions. Ephesians 5:21 up to Ephesians 6:4 is a beautiful example of how a family unit should be. How a husband should treat his wife, how a wife should treat her husband, and how parents should treat their children, and how children should treat their parents.
To be fair, most organized religion is manipulation to get you to disconnect your empathy from your conscience. Force you to think they way they want you to.
Abusers almost never start out being abusive. Most of the time at the beginning of the relationship they're sweet and romantic. Then once they have the victim fooled the abuse begins by slow and steady degrees - cutting them off from friends and family, taking control of their money, not letting them go anywhere, that sort of thing. At some point during this process the violence starts and by then the victim usually feels like they have nowhere to turn. Sometimes the victim even knows he has a history, but he convinces them he's changed or that it was the previous victim's fault because they 'deserved it'

Our senior year he failed some classes and for the first time in his life, he couldn’t smooth talk his way out of failing. So he kinda lost his mind. He decapitated a deer and threw its body on the front door to the school. He wrote a note with the names of the teachers who failed him in their classes with threats to their life. Years later I saw him in a bar and he bought me a beer. He looked like s**t. I owned a successful company with quite a few employees. One of those satisfying moments in life to be in the same place but also in very different places.
Her father got sued and they lost EVERYTHING, house, cars, drained their money, all of it. Last I heard she was living in a run down apartment and working at a small gas station.
I was only ever bullied in elementary school in Texas. I moved to Ohio during 5th grade. At some point in late middle school or early highschool I heard the guy who used to bully me got mad at his parents because they wouldn't let him go to a concert, so he took his dad's shotgun and killed himself.
* The worst one I've ever met in my life never exactly had his own comeuppance. His father was wealthy from being the assistant harbormaster in one of the largest fishing communities in the country, so he never exactly had to work. From what I've heard, he lives off his family's wealth while being a hobbyist photographer. His parents did get divorced and his drug-addicted mother passed away. * Another little monster who was a year older than me died at 21, when he fell off a 200-foot cliff while hunting with his girlfriend's family. * This kid who tormented me nonstop at Boy Scout camp enlisted in the Army, was injured and is now partially paralyzed, living a secluded lifestyle under his family's watch. * The Boy Scout bully's close friend who was very antagonistic was busted four years ago during an FBI dark web sting operation, for trafficking drugs. He's awaiting sentencing.
This was in mid 2000s. He beat the s**t out of me in middle school (military boot to the face, breaking my nose), forcing me to have emergency surgery. My dad sued the kid on criminal charges, his parents on hospital bills responsibility and the school on a child endangering basis. We got really good deals: 1. The kid was expelled from the state’s school system and spent time in juvenile. He never got back to school. 2. Parents had to pay for my plastic surgery bill, plus other monetary charges. They had to sell their house shortly afterwards. 3. School was forced to pay my family for their lack of security and the school district immediately performed an investigation, finding out several irregularities. They had to pay fines that made them operate in red numbers for a while. The school don’t exist anymore (as of now). When I was in med school, like 8 years after all this happened, I was walking out the hospital when I decided to buy loose cigarettes and a candy from the street vendor. He said my name and looked me right in the eyes: it was that dude. We both stayed in shock until my friends called me and had to leave. When I finally got in the car I bursted laughing out of disbelief and a weird sense of karma.
It was definitely fair that his medical bills got paid and I understand suing the parents for any damage that their child does. It just seems so harsh that the parents lost their house when it’s often not the parents’ fault that their kid is a bully.
it is their fault. they threw/brought him up. Nobody else is responsible for your childs upbringing (except in some circumstances).

Local politician.
Let me guess, republican. Am I right? (To be fair, there are some a*****e Democrats like Manchin, but that’s nothing in comparison to republicans, who have taken their schoolyard bullying to the national level.)
Fun fact, If anyone knows Mamata Banerjee, and Her 'nephew' Abhishek Banerjee, I studied in his School from Kindergarten through grade 12 without knowing. It was only after he appeared as an Alumnus for the annual program this year that most of us came to know.
My bully went on to be a server at a local restaurant, I went on to work for ESPN right out of college. I’d say I won.
Coasts on daddy's cash and is one of many not-too-rich-but-still-rich douches revving a generic 2013 BMW "M"320 on all IG stories.
M 320 ... yeah, sure. But, seriously, BMW had named a few cars M and then a regular numerical, like the 80's M535i, which was the predecessor of the first M5. Still having the twovalve engine, 3.5 liter straight six, while the first M5 had an M88 engine, being the same size, but DOHC fourvalve, vastly exceeding performance and efficiency of the older twovalve machines.
Well considering he’s on about a car that is now 10 years old, it’s more than likely it could have been his dad’s, and now he has it?
Load More Replies...Wasn't exactly my bully but we had few fist fights... he bullied pretty much anyone else who was afraid of him. He started to take drugs at the age of 13/14... at 18 he had the face of 60 with cancer. He was in prison, rehab, prison rehab... went to prison again because somehow he had a sword and destroyed a kids bike... his parents locked him outside when they weren't at home because he stole and sell everything to have money for drugs... one day... when we were about 17 18 suddenly everyone stopped talking about him (we lived in the same neighborhood) the street that he lived on was quiet, people started to go outside without fear so probably he dead or somewhere very far
Sad. People ruin there lives. I only have sympathy becoz no kid should go through cancers hell. Even the bad ones.
I read this as if he only looked like having cancer, but looked so due to taking (the wrong, too many, ...) drugs. Certainly believable - I've known teenage alcoholicians who looked like 60 yo with bad acne. They looked bad.

Beat a fellow drug dealer to death during a transaction gone bad. Sentenced for murder but then somehow it was downgraded to manslaughter. Served about ten years and judging from his FB posts (I know his brother), he has a girlfriend, a job, and has cleaned up his act. Edit to add what happened. Just looked up the story. He was convicted of 2nd degree murder with depraved indifference. Then the State Court of Appeals changed the law interpreting the definition of the charge. The federal court vacated the conviction finding that the defendant was factually innocent of depraved indifference murder. He agreed to plead to the lesser charge of manslaughter. So he had already served ten years and was released after the plea to manslaughter.
How is manslaughter a "lesser" crime then murder? Aren't they the same thing?
If you shoot someone that's murder, if you punch someone and they fall over and cracks their head and die from that, it's manslaughter. It's your fault the person died, but you never intended them to die.

It's me. I was the school bully way back when. I didn't know what I was doing, I was young and stupid. I hate thinking back on how much I made fun of a kid who got an 'I Love You' text from his dad, just because I never got one from mine. I feel awful about it 10 years later. I've apologised and done everything I can to make things better for him, but I still lose sleep at night.

Load More Replies...My biggest bully died in a car accident not long after high school. Her older boyfriend was driving while high and slammed the car into the tree. Had some mixed feelings about it for years. I never felt happy about her death but it caused me a lot of angst at the time to read all the articles in our local paper about how tragic it was to lose such a "beautiful light" who "everyone loved". Was a bit hard to love her when she said I was fat and had weird boobs and she didn't want to play soccer if I was on the team because we'd lose. But I digress. Her parents would take out a huge section of the classifieds each anniversary of her death to memorialise her and I used to get angsty every time. Ended up working through it in therapy and then had this full storybook moment where, some time after dealing with it in therapy, I by chance spotted her memorial plaque at the cemetery while I was on my way to leave flowers for my Nan. Left the bully a flower too. It felt peaceful
I was usually a lot bigger than other kids my age, so I didn't really get bullied. I was always afraid of playing too rough and hurting somebody after injuring a relative when we were young, so I wouldn't even play contact sports like football or basketball. I did have a kid who attacked me a half dozen times or so, let's call him Dwayne. Dwayne was not very big, but he tried to make up for this in sheer determination and relentlessness. You see, I grew up in Alabama, so when I found out what was happening it made a small amount of sense, and I am glad it was me he would randomly punch or bite since I never gave him the beating he wanted. What had happened is, his dad had told him since he was small and black, to find the biggest honky and knock them out, then he wouldn't have any problems. It kind of worked in a weird way. Everyone thought Dwayne was just not right and left him alone. I became friends with his cousin, who filled me in.
my bullies kicked my a*s every day for my last 2 primary school and all secondary school years and the school did nothing. It got to the point that it didn't actually hurt me anymore so i would smile when the hit me. the one time i fought back i got expelled ebcause i totally lost it and let all the pent up rage out on the one guy. I picked him up and threw him through a window and proceeded to kick and punch him until i was exhausted. his parents were wealthy and sued the school and lost because my parents had photos of all the bruising over the years. I dont know where any of them are now but during college i had the last laugh because the roles were reversed and it was them that had no friends, while i picked my college because i knew people in the area through my hobbies. i can honestly say i still wouldn't p**s on them if they were on fire because they ruined my start in life and led to major bouts of depression that still bother me 30 years later. f**k those pricks
There was this kid back in school who got constantly in trouble. Nobody liked him, teacher despised him. I never had any problems with him personally though. He was one of those boys whom you could sense didn't have a good home. One year in high school, he sat next to me in class and the teacher asked us what we were thankful for. For some reason, I said that I was thankful to sit next to him. He looked at me completely surprised and asked "Really?". I whispered to him "Yes, but you shouldn't act so mean towards people". Since then, he was super sweet (at least to me). To this day I wonder how life is for him. I truly hope he is happy.
my old elementary and middle school bully was a total a*s for a long time. she would call me names and tell teachers lies about me so I would get in trouble, make up rumors about me to try to get people to not like me, and even went as far to threaten my friends sometimes. she once punched my friend and pushed her into a gate and nearly broke her nose. finally I moved away but then during high school I met her again. i didn’t have any built up madness at her, the only thing I was mad about was her hurting my friends, but it was such a long time ago I just let go of it. anyways I met her again sometime during high school and she had like completely chnaged. I didn’t know, but turns out she was being bullied by one of my friends, so she thought by bullying me they would stop or something. anyways she apologized for all of it and she’s one of my best friends now
I sidestepped the issue by moving interstate and having zero interest in school reunions
Yes! I live on a whole other continent! It's a great excuse not to go. To be fair, though, a friend of mine who lives in the same town we grew up in says she just can't be bothered to go.

I want to use real names but I won't. But since kindergarten a girl two years ahead of me for no reason would trap in in hallways or bathrooms and beat me up. For no reason. Just to look cool in front of her friends. I got through grade school (k-6) and because she was a few years older I missed her in junior high (7-8). But comes high school and I'm a freshman an trying to forget that girl who basically let everyone else know my age an up from elementary ages, to pick on and beat me up. So high school comes. I'm at lunch. She comes by and goes "stop talking c**p about me" or some nonsense. I'm like who the what the f??? After lunch in the hall she get me. This is early 80s and she's wearing wood clogs and kicks my shin. I lose it. White rage in my eyes. I'm slamming her head in a concrete wall. We're going cats and dogs at eat other. I'm literally u leashing rage on her. At the office I know something is going down. (See reply for continue)
So we are sitting in the office. She's across from me. Spitting at me. Calling me names. Etc. I get called in first. I show them my leg. It's actually fractured and has a goose egg on it. Mom is called to take me home an take care of me. No punishment. As they leave to call my mom I can see my file. Next to it I see hers is huge. And my name is constantly poking out of spots with her as instigator. So I go home she's still screaming. They pull her into the office an I later find out she's two weeks suspended. So the following year I'm in the office as a class to do filing. She's a senior and needs to make up detentions and I have to mark them off as she shows up. This is now the only time I've seen her since the fight. I act like oh I'm taking two off but adding one Al every few times she comes in. Telling her wrong totals she has to complete to graduate.
