Society has no place for bullies. Unfortunately, these people exist, and they derive sheer enjoyment from causing distress to others. It’s why there’s always a palpable satisfaction in learning that one of them finally got their due comeuppance.
The stories you’re about to read are just that. People are sharing the moment they finally stood up for themselves, while giving their tormentors a dose of much-needed karma. Some of them may have happened many years later, but it’s a gratifying end to the story, nonetheless.
Enjoy reading these, and if you have your own anecdotes, feel free to share them in the comments!

My academic dean found me crying about it. He asked me who did it and to this day, I have no idea what he said to my bully but this kid stayed 50 feet away from me at all times ever since and literally would run away if he saw me approaching him. .

I'm yet to have my sweet sweet payback, but my mum had a glorious moment a couple of years back.
When she was around 10, her family struggled quite a bit for money. This girl called Tracy really liked to make her life a misery because of it. Pushing, pinching, name calling, teasing...one day my mum was lucky enough to get some new school shoes. Tracy stole them during a PE lesson and deliberately scuffed and dragged them across the playground (I'm so mad just typing about this, F**K YOU TRACY).
Fast forward a few years ago. Mum's doing well for herself now, working hard, happy marriage, big house, new Mercedes in the driveway. Her usual cleaner was off sick one week, so the agency said to expect a replacement for the day. I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Who should be at the door but our old pal Tracy? She recognised my mum right away, but didn't say a thing. Just turned bright red and bumbled along with her mop.
I remember feeling so smug and happy that Tracy was scrubbing my mum's toilets. I can only hope that one day such satisfaction happens to me. It was glorious.

You know, being a bully also burns bridges you may want to cross one day. Alienate enough people through bullying, and they will not lift a finger for you when you are in need of help yourself. Similar to the warming to be careful who you step on at work while you’re climbing up the ladder, because you’re going to meet them again on your way back down. Sometimes the kid you were nice to in school when no one else was becomes the adult who remembers you when they’re a success and the person helps you achieve your own goals because of it.

If she still had those shoes she could have pulled them out and had Tracy try to clean up the scuffs.

She needs to testify at every single parole hearing so that he gets the maximum sentence. Then if he ever does get out, st*lk him and make sure he is law-abiding. If not, find a way to make charges stick again, while keeping herself safe.

There was a bully at my school who stole food from kids. One night, I packed some expired mayonnaise in a little container, knowing that he would think that it was vanilla pudding. Sure enough, he took it the next day, took one bite, and spit it out onto the floor. After throwing up in the trash bin, he was put on cleanup duty for two weeks, and I was proud of myself.

For a few years, I had a bully who would cheat off of me, steal my notes or even, on occasion, my entire assignments. A few years after graduation, this bully wrote me to ask for help with a work assignment. I fed the bully c**p information, which he turned in as real information, and the bully got fired.

I put my bully in hospital after 4 years of incessant a***e from him. You name it, he did it.
The school staff ignored it with the exception of one staff member. He kept intervening but it didn't change things.
However, he did give me some sterling advice too. He told me that the bullying wouldn't stop until I did something about it.
He was right about that.
One morning my bully pushed me to the point that I lost my temper and fought back. I fought back so hard that by the time I was done he was hospitalised. I broke an arm, ankle and nose, fractured his ribs and shattered his eye socket.
At this point, I was no longer 4 feet-something and skinny: I was 6 feet tall and big with it, so you can imagine the damage I inflicted.
Of course, I got into trouble for it: hauled into the headmasters office for an almighty bollocking. However, I wasn't in a mood to stand there and take it, so I yelled back; asking what *his* staff had done to prevent it. I was the one going home with bruises, torn or missing clothes, a damaged bike, but his staff hadn't prevented it.
Funnily enough, the headmaster was stopped in his tracks and nothing more was ever mentioned about it.
The bullying stopped too. Word gets around fast in a small high school.
It was also the first time that I realised that I have a hell of a temper and able to inflict horrific injuries on someone. As a direct result of that incident, I actively developed a much more relaxed attitude to the world and I keep my temper under very firm control.

You didn't do it because you were mean. You did it because he pushed you to the edge and you didn't want to take it anymore. There's a big difference between bullying someone and standing up for yourself.

The only way to stop a bully is to kick their àss…hard. “Just ignore it” doesn’t work. “Try to be understanding” doesn’t work. “Talk to him about it” doesn’t work. And telling an authority figure usually doesn’t work, either. As this story illustrates.

My bullies all live in a small town in Indiana, sleep with each other’s wives/ex-wives, and talk about high school (2 decades removed). I do not.
I make more than any three of them combined. I do not give a s**t about any of them and only know anything about their lives because someone will send me unsolicited information on their lives. Apparently they do internet searches on me and their other HS victims regularly and complain to each other about how unfair the world is.

When I was in like second or third grade my mom had transferred me out from the school I had been attending and to a french immersion school. I don’t really know why other than she wanted me to get a better education, but whatever. Needless to say it sucked. I got s**t from the French teacher because I didn’t speak in French 100% of the time… despite the fact that it was a school to teach you French… and I only spoke in English when I didn’t know the French equivalent. So nevertheless, it sucked.
There was also a girl, Nicole, and her two friends who’s names I didn’t know. Nicole actually lived in my building and we were friends for a while. But for some reason she and her friends started bullying me at school. Started off tame, just picking on me and teasing and whatnot, I honestly don’t remember most of it because my memory just isn’t great. But she and her friends were bullies, through and through. One of the events that made me switch from mildly upset to angry was when they threw a moldy sandwich at me at recess. I didn’t do anything that day, but it was there, in my mind.
Anyways one day a little while after that just as school had ended we were lining up waiting for the busses in our bus lines. Given she went to the same building as me obviously she was on the same bus and she was first in line, I was second. I don’t remember what she said/did but I know something happened that finally pushed me over the edge and without really thinking, I had grabbed a fistful of her hair and used it to pretty much just slam her down into the concrete, ripping out some of her hair with it. And I just started wailing on her until teachers pulled me off. No deforming injuries or anything, I was like 8 and a toothpick, but it was enough that there was blood at least.
I was suspended, obviously. Can’t argue with that. When my mom was called she ended up lecturing the office staff because she had reported the bullying multiple times including the sandwich incident and they did nothing. She ended up pulling me out of that school and I was back in the school I was going to before. Which was great because this school was closed and had a breakfast program. She had also been in the same Taekwondo class as me and her mom came in screaming and wailing trying to get me kicked out for using my skills to hurt someone or something. After explaining our side of the story to the teacher guy he actually said he was proud of me for having the courage to stand up for/defend myself. But also said not to beat up people which is fair too.
Anyways, long story short, I beat her up. I don’t regret it but I’m not really proud of it either. I try and be a nuch kinder and softer person now - but I would gladly fight someone if they hurt someone I cared about.

And one of their mothers called mine and said I had pulled a bunch of her hair out and *gasp* called them names. Being as I was one person my mother let it go, and the next school year they tried it once more at recess and I took down 2 of them. Never bothered us again.

I had a bully in the fifth grade, and I tried the standard stupid advice that adults give kids: “Just ignore it.” “Talk to her about it.” “Tell the teacher.” None of that bullshît advice worked, and I developed terrible self-esteem and the rest of my school years in that place were a lot less good than they could have been. If I could go back in time, I would skip all the dumb adult advice and just kick her àss. My whole life probably would have been better. Susan V., if you’re reading this, FOAD.

(In 6th grade) My mom would always pack me a Fanta bottle as the treat in my lunch bc she knew I liked those more than something like a donut. My bully decided he also liked them, so he just started taking mine, and there wasn't much I could do as a skinny, unmuscular kid. At one point, I started peeing in the cup, and he of course smiled as he took the bottle and drank it. he spit the "fanta" out once he tasted it, and it got all over his clothes.

Crystal, you can't beat them on a higher level, because they simply never get there. When I was 14, a boy of about the same age, whom I wasn't close to, but didn't consider him an enemy or anything, wanted to fight. Not at school, somewhere we went in the afternoon. He never gave a reason, but insisted, and finally, I gave in. Afterwards, after he'd received a beating unlikely to ever forget, he admitted that he thought I was an easy target, and he "wanted to impress girls". Well, I impressed his nose. One more punch, and it would have been broken. I regret not serving this last one, because it was so ... useless, umprompted, he simply thought himself to be stronger, that's all. Oh, how he learned that day. I got to pull his feet from under him, so he fell down, pulled down his pants halfway and kicked him in the naked balls, counting every kick, and made it to seven until we were interrupted. He never tried again. You don't need two who want to fight, you need to who want peace. One not wanting, will always prevent everything from being peaceful.

It works but it can have some horrifying unintended consequences. Big kid picked on by a smaller kid. We did parent meetings, suspended the bully, moved him to a different bus and classes, had him sent for empathy training, and pretty much did everything in our power to monitor him to prevent him bullying big kid but he would find ways when not at school to keep bullying him. One day big kid just lost it and shoved the kid as they were getting on their separate buses. Problem was he shoved him really hard and little guy skidded back, tripped, and fell very wrong onto a cement curb. He didn't survive and the poor bullied kid ended up in juvenile detention for a year for involuntary manslaughter.

My daughter went to a new school for 5th grade. She has a September birthday, so her birthday was only one month into the school year. She invited every girl in her class except one to her birthday party. The following Monday the girls were all talking about how much fun they had at the party, and the bully asked why she wasn't invited. "Because you're mean to me." They never became friends, but the girl was never mean to her again.

When I was in middle school I was a fat kid and I played in band. I was first chair and the kid that was second chair challenged me every chance he could to get first chair. This just involved both of us playing for the band teachers. I don't know how many times he did this but he was never successful. He made fun of me every chance he could too. Fast forward to high school, neither us continued with band. I also lost all of the weight and he found it. I don't think we spoke 2 words to one another in high school but I'll never forget the look on his newly fat face when he saw I was skinny.

He paid for things at a business I worked at with two fake $20 bills, the stupid a*s even used his account with his phone number and address where he lived at home with his parents still. I willingly took the $40, and told my manager right away. The manager called his house and his dad answered the phone and my boss told him “so-and-so, your son, paid for items at our store with fake money. Could we speak with him?” then my boss told him he’d better be at our store one hour before opening with two real 20 bills. Guy shows up while I’m waiting within eyeshot of the store, then my boss shows up a few minutes later with 3 cop cars following. Dude went to jail, his c*****d out GF was trying to yell at the cops that he didn’t know (he did know and was MAKING fake bills as a side hustle) and they told her she’d be arrested too for interfering with a case or something like that and she backed off. Turns out, he was selling lots of d***s, making counterfeit bills, and the idiot was going to the grocery store across the street and getting change with the fake $20s for a few weeks and had already tipped the cops off that someone was passing counterfeits in the area.
Dude was one of my best friends on my competitive basketball team for years, and once we got into Jr. High he started having his friend beat me up/ rough me up daily for no reason. They all talked smack to me for not making the team either. 2 years of this in Jr. High and verbal bullying through high school. So glad that dude went to jail.

Cops care about forgery when someone is consistently passing off fake bills. I’m pretty sure everyone has received a fake bill in their change before - I even know someone who got several from an ATM at a bank. The cops won’t arrest someone for using a single fake bill. But if they’re using fakes to the point that a business notices, it’s a clear indicator of criminal activity, and not an accident or ignorance

She proceeded to put me down, speak to me like I was the crud on the bottom of her shoe etc; click her finger at me to do something. She was a charmer. Fast forward five or so years, she's rejoined our organisation (I got a job there through my internship and have been there since) and I got a Facebook friend request from her, bless her heart! /s I had great pleasure in declining that one, especially as she obviously didn't seem to remember me, but I remembered her.

I was bullied by the same person for most of my school years, thinking about 5 years old until 13. I didn't know better and I always let it happen. That being said, I was afraid no matter what going to school because of him (and some other guys but they weren't SO bothersome).
He was a bully in every typical way. Pulling down pants, always bothering you in a bad way, pushing and punching when things didn't go his way, etc etc. I recall him even trying to attack me outside of school with a crowbar.
Fast forward to my last year in that particular school, as I was moving back to my home country.. I vividly remember him throwing basketball balls very hard to my back for 30 minutes straight during lunch break.
Safe to say I completely lost it that time, so much pent up anger from all these years and I clearly wasn't thinking straight. I ran straight to him, screaming and cursing the worst things for him and his family. I pinned him down and smashed his face, specifically around the cheeks a couple times until one of the professors (who I was good friends with and I still appreciate him 'till this day) stopped me. I remember him telling me he was surprised to see me behave this way, as he also struggled to pull me back when I was hurting the bully.
He brought me to the bathroom to calm me down and ask what happened. I was lucky he and I were on super good terms, that he understood it wasn't completely my fault and just wanted to hear my story. Nothing bad came of it for me, and I spent the last few months at the school in peace.
The bully never interacted with me again, until the very last day where he apologized for his behaviour and I apologized for hurting him. So I guess in some way it ended on good terms?
One of my best friends still live around the area, and he mentioned his behaviour hasn't really changed at all and still acts like an idiot. But that was years ago, so I have no idea how he is doing now.
I don't fully blame him for acting the way he does, his father in prison and I believe his mother neglected him often. Because I saw him more often on the streets than at home. But, I am glad that whole ordeal is behind me now!

Yeah, but if the bully has no other, more positive, role model or mentor to emulate, they continue the behavior they know. Sometimes once they can get away from it they realize it’s bad and change. Sometimes even that doesn’t change them. It’s really a case by case thing, with a lot of factors to it.

I was okey at economics. My bully asked if she could cheat off me 15 min before the exam. I said sure. The thing she didn’t know was that I got extra time on exams. So I answered every multiple choice question wrong. Then wrote some open questions wrong. Then I realised that I wouldn’t have enough time to fix my answers. So I flipped threw the remainder of the exam randomly, so she didn’t know what question I was answering. Then she had to leave and I fixed the wrong answers. She got a 4/10.

Yes, and because they don’t realize you can peak more than once in your life and in many different ways, they instead just concentrate of reliving their glory days for the rest of their lives instead of working hard to peak again and again.

I was bullied when I was in the 7th grade buy a guy who was in the 9th grade. I have no idea why I was his target as I had never seen him before that.
Fast forward a few years and while I didn't grow much taller, I did gain muscle mass. I was ranked in my state for wrestling and I was a stud athletically. I finally saw him at the county fair and he was with his girlfriend. Needless to say I had the biggest smile on my face as his girl started hitting on me. He would not even meet me eye to eye.
#39
I snapped, literally picked him up and threw him multiple times around the school canteen while his 'crew' watched in awe! He actually started crying and begged me to stop saying he'd had enough. I hadn't and continued to change the course of his day until a teacher hauled me off him. He left the year after and his friends seemed to give me a wide berth.

He tried to bully another kid, tripped & broke his ankle. This was 6 weeks before him graduating. My brother knew of him bullying me & we concocted a plan. We stole his crutches during the ceremony. His name was called .... he's sitting all alone, no crutches. He didn't get to walk.

I had a bully that used to kick the s**t out of me just about on a daily basis. He was a grade above me and lived next door and my dad didn't do anything because "that's how boys play" and every time I left the house, that a*****e was waiting for me to insult me, humiliate me, beat on me.
I spent a lot of time inside. Probably for the best, as that time was spent on my computer, which lead to my career, so I had that going for me, I guess.
However, it was really traumatic and one of the things I looked forward to the most when we moved was to get away from that guy.
As I got older, I really internalized that s**t. Him and a bunch of other kids combined made my childhood really s****y and it's really surprising how that can affect you, even as an adult.
Anyway, he was gone and I moved on.. Until one day, I went back to my home town for a visit and found myself in the same room with him. I got nervous, all those memories came flooding back, my spine got sweaty, I could feel my adrenaline start to rise. Then I realized, I'm an adult. I've got a successful career, make good money, kids that love me. I can deal with this. So, I bucked up and walked right up to him and just said what I had to say. He looked up at me with his dark, empty, 30 year old eyes and said, "Do you want fries with that?"
I felt much better after that.

One of my highschool bullies just posted a GoFundMe for his stage 4 stomach cancer diagnosis.
I'm not contributing.
That's my revenge.

1) cancer treatments are expensive, so OP's contribution wouldn't have the much effect on its own, 2) it's stage 4, so even if OP donated a trillion dollars the bully would still probably die, & 3) fuck being the "better person", that's just a way to tell people to get over something

Do one cent or something so your name is there, but your donation is basically a drop in the ocean. /s Edit: Just so we're actually clear (and I apparently need to spell this out), the /s tag is referring to the fact that I wouldn't actually do this, because it would be a jerk move. I've sadly seen it done on some GoFundMes etc, though.

I wouldn’t wish cancer on anybody; I’ve lost loved ones to cancer. At the same time…if somebody is a real åsshole, I would just not do anything at all. If somebody really hurt me badly, maintaining neutrality is what I do when bad things happen to them. At least don’t pile on.

Im half asian, when I was in the 3rd grade there was a 5th grade boy who made fun of me everyday. He'd pull his eyes back to make them slant and call me "china hood" and tell me to go back to china. (Im korean) He then moved away. When I went away to university, he came to campus as an army recruiter and was at a party I was at and started to hit on me. He asked if he knew a hotel he could stay at as he wasnt local. I flirted with him a bit and told him that I would take him to a hotel personally. We didnt go inside but in the car I made out with him enough to get him erect. You see, even though he used to tease me, I thought he was so cute and he still was. Anyway, he asks me if I want to take this inside, and I said, "no and Ill tell you why." I then told him his full name, his old address and his 5th grade teacher. I reminded him that I was "china hood" and he made me cry every single day. He was mortified and apologized profusely, then I got out of the car and walked away feeling amazing. Yes, it was a risky move, and he could have hurt me, but it was worth it.

This is a bit disgusting but whatever...
These happened when I was a junior and this one guy always tell the whole class that I'm weird because I don't talk too much and all that, up to the point he "accidentally" poured his water bottle all over my head.
The teacher just told him to don't do it again but he did it again when it was lunch, a juice box this time.
So, I was getting tired of this s**t's s**t I started to plan.
I didn't finish my lunch, got down to our room, found his bag and his bottle and spit on it like, say 6 times. It wasn't just an ordinary spit. It was the juicy ones. You know, "phlegm"
So, I went to the school canteen again while grinning like a maniac.
We went back to class, gone to our gym and he became thirsty.
The moment when he was getting the bottle on his bag and he started drinking it. He cringed so bad. Probably realizing what was the "salty" taste he said, he gagged and immediately accused me.
The teacher believed him and I didn't lie.
I got suspended for 7 days for that. But it was worth it.

In middle school, I was bullied mercilessly. School did nothing, Dad said enough... He paid for martial art lessons. The guy that taught me was an older Russian man. Big honking bear... I learned to disable people quick, armed and unarmed, some moves for breaking stuff. When I entered High School, my bully found me, and tried to pick up where he left off. I kicked him in the knee, hyperextending it. Then I slammed his hand in the school locker, breaking it. He was a promising candidate for the football team, I put and end to that. I went to juvenile for a*****t, when I got out, my Dad was waiting for me, he took me home, and he threw a party for me, and I had my first 6 pack of beer with him.

I graduated and made friends in Uni. Turns out I wasn't the friendless loser my secondary school bullies insisted I was.

In PE there was this guy who mogged me for my height & weight (he was a tall, lanky mf). A year and consistent training later, I was still smaller but by no means lighter than him. As we both jumped to reach the ball he just bounced of my body and fell pretty hard. I turned around, looked him in the face and shrugged. Ill never forget the look of disbelief and wonder in his face :D The mogging did not end there but I stopped caring.
#49
He bullied me when I was 13 (and not only me, some people were bullied since way later then me and my friend). I grew up (like 30 cm/1" in one year), played rugby, get bigger, then proceed one year to later to destroy him when he tried to bully a friend once again. He never ever tried to bully someone.

This "popular" girl was an insufferable t**t to me and all of my friends in a math class (we were all at least 1 year younger than her, and in the same class) about how we needed to talk less and pay attention since we weren't as smart as we thought we were. On our way back to our desks after collecting the first test we all just stacked 6 100% tests on top of her 74%. The teacher just shook his head. Get out narcissismed Tammy, you c**t.

So she was the oldest kid in a class of kids who were all a year behind her, an indication she was repeating that class, or had had to repeat one of the prerequisite classes for it somewhere along the line, but she was trying to imply that OP and friends, who were the right age for the class, were not as smart as she was?

I always regretted it and it made the problem worse.
The most notable time was in 6th grade we used to have to check out dictionaries for certain assignments and take them home. One day as I was returning mine to the shelf I got the idea to write the kid's name in it instead of mine. And then I also wrote Ms Sanderson is a b***h all over the back cover in the same pencil. He got in trouble for like 10 minutes and then somehow they realize he didn't do it, he probably showed them the book he took out. Later in the week the teacher had made the comment that they had narrowed down who did it but never did anything about it. I spent the rest of the year stressed out wondering if they really did know it was me, but looking back I'm sure the teacher didn't blame me regardless cuz that kid was a a*s she probably figured he had it coming.

Absolutely no excuse for stealing or bullying but I wonder what his lunch was like. Was he stealing lunches because his parents were restricting food? Did he gain so much weight because he wasn’t allowed any treats at home and when he got old enough to feed himself he overcompensated? No excuse, but I wonder if he was hungry?

I got bullied a lot by random boys for being ugly. Cause yeah being ugly is a crime for girls. None of the teachers did anything despite knowing, that I skipped school because of the bullying. They would only make ironic remarks like - "Oh Kristiina going home early because of the "headache" again?" while grinning. And my parents did not give a sh!t. Well part of me being ugly is that Im tall with wide shoulders and strong legs. So when one of the bullies was stupid enough to start on me alone and out of sight of teachers, I beat the c**p out of him. I was summoned to headmistress and made to apologize but at least this one avoided me like the plague afterwards. For years afterwards I lived in the firm belief that 1. Im unbelievably ugly and 2. I could beat up any man if I get angry enough😅

While "become more successful in life" is nice, it's also thrown around as if that's the only allowed "revenge". But what if they have rich parents? Or if the bullied kid develops mental health issues because of the bullying that prevent it from succeeding in life? Or an eating disorder so it becomes the 'fat one'? Bullied kids these days need to be saints (to not push back), then they need to be supermodels or Einsteins to 'earn their revenge'. It's horrible and just shows how unwilling people are to actually face the problem.

We have a serious bullying problem in the U.S. Basically, bullies get their own way about everything, are celebrated, and get all of life’s goodies. They rarely get what they really deserve. Bullying behaviour is encouraged, and considerate people get bullied. All the cräp beliefs about “rugged individualism” and “aggressive businessmen.” The sports bullshît….the cowboy mystique….”greed is good.” I hate it here.

... how could you NOT hate it...? But, that's not limited to the US. The ones punished for bullying, usually, aren't the worst offenders, but often just have joined the laugh - still, not a behaviour to support or be proud of, but on a totally different level. I've found myself unable to not laugh at times it would have been better not to, but I just couldn't. One story of that sort, a dude having Tourette's sat on the bus, front-right, directly next to the drivers' door. We drove behind a cyclist, who was sort of slow, while approaching the next stop. Taking over in such a situation isn't unheard of, especially with bus drivers, but pointless, so we didn't this time. He shouted "Fahren Sie sie platt!", (="Run her over!") with the word "platt" being shouted with pressure from deep down, at least it sounded so, and continued with "Tut mir aber leid!" ("I'm SO sorry"), with such a ... tourettish sarcasm? ... in it, that I burst out laugig before I could even think of how I could prevent myself from. This still ... on surface level, it's hilarious as can be, but some people joined my laughing, which made stopping even harder. Must have felt really embarrassing, but I just couldn't help, ... And, greed isn't good, greed is one major cause for everything that sucks nowadays. We're well ahead of where we should have overcome that, but it seems, being ahead and being ahead ain't the same...

You can't have revenge on a level that the object to receive the well-earned revenge is incapable of reaching in the first place. If you have to fight them on their level - well, fight them on their level. I made the bully of a girl who later was my girlfriend appear like he had peed his pants, because she had issues with that, and was mercilessly reminded of how this makes her worthless every day. Pants pulled down in the middle of schoolyard, "Hahaha, she's wearing a diaper, hahaha, what a baby!" - it seems that nothing is more embarassing in grades 2 to 4 than that. Pointed out how her underwear was visibly more bulky than usual, as you can't really hide a diaper that has the capacity for an entire schoolday. We had PE together, he and I, and I pissed over his pants' crötch, arranged them so it wasn't visible lying on the bench, and he put them on before realizing - that moment, I started to laugh at him, and some joined me. And I didn´'t forget to mention it happened to him AGAIN, and that he STILL has those issues. He stopped teasing her, accused me, but nothing came off of it.
