29 Times People Online Actually Got Revenge On Their Bullies And It Was Sweet Like Honey
Bullying is horrible. Whatever the age, it is an oppressive act that should always be stopped. However, when intervention from the outside isn’t enough, the victims of bullying sometimes tend to take things into their own hands, which can get a little messy. Most people would probably say that seeking active revenge against your bullies is most certainly not a great avenue to pursue when it comes to securing wellbeing, but there are people out there who’ve done it and walked away happy and proud.
Someone on the r/AskReddit subforum raised a question related to this exact matter. They asked “People who took revenge on their bully, what happened?” and the internet responded with numerous stories about how all kinds of people managed to overcome their various oppressors.
The question collected 5.9k upvotes and prompted 4.3k comments. Scroll down to see all kinds of situations ranging from small, yet clever revenge to outright wild scenarios.

I learned how to fight, then beat the hell out of him.
He left me alone from then on.
Got in trouble with the school, but when they called my dad to tell him I was fighting, he said "Yeah, I bet. I paid for the lessons. Was it that little s**t who's been bullying him?"
I did not get in trouble at home.

I beat up a boy in 5th grade for standing on a gopher turtle. No trouble at all. He was the most popular guy in H.S., and after graduation he died with a needle in his arm.

I remember getting even with the guy who used to bully me in high school. My mother got me martial arts lessons because of it and I put them to good use by smacking that bastard as hard as I could in the nuts and walking away. Didn’t get into trouble and he left me alone after that.

I knew how to fight, but because of abuse at home, I hated to be that guy. My bully got away with it frequently. One morning he started, I never said a word. Beat his face to a pulp. Black eyes, broken noses split lips. Blood on the floor. Got called into vice principals office, told me I could have killed the kid. I responded, saying, I just did to him in one moment what he has been doing all year and the school never did anything so I did. After school the next day, the father of that POS threatened me. I calmly told him I could take more pain than he could and would deliver twice as much. Never bothered again. 50 years later have never been in a fight. Walked away from several. People I do not know, their opinions mean sh*t. People I do know, if they do not like it, F**k off.

Beat up a kid in 8th grade for picking on me and making fun of my mom. I had told my parents, and the bus driver (it happened on the bus every day) that I would be beating him up on Friday if he kept at it. He did. I beat his ass. Faced zero consequences. The bus driver didn't even look. It was epic

Similar.. I was bullied in high school, black belt in Karate but never fought back until the spat on me. Then I beat the crap out of him. My parents ended up coming to the school and tearing them a new one for constantly ignoring our complains. I only got one detention where the teacher told me my bully was douche bag haha

This girl, Saura (f**k you saura), left me death threats in my phone when I was in high school. This was after I attempted suicide by overdose because of severe bullying and depression. The whole school knew because one teacher opened their mouth, and she used this to her advantage.
So what did I do when she left about 10 voice messages on my phone?
I had her arrested for harassment. So not only did her parents find out she was a bully when the cops showed up at her house, but they showed her parents the log of messages she would also text to my phone. Have fun being the disappointment!

I was a tubby ugly kid who was stuck upside down in the school bin by this group of "cool" bully girls. Fast forward 20year, went through the ugly duckling stage, got rid of the train tracks, lost 2 stone and grew to 6ft. School reunion ...... cool bully girls turned into short, dumpy middle aged squawking women and genuinely unhappy with life. Enough Karma for me when they tried to make small talk and I told them that their ugliness at school now showed on their faces.

When I was a kid, one of my "Friends" liked to bully me. We played soccer together. He'd shove me, trip me for no reason, and one day as we were standing in line for a soccer passing drill (each kid runs the drill one after the other), he shoved me. Without thinking, and with all the parents watching, I turned in one motion and socked him square in the jaw, after which he fell over crying.
My coach had seen his past behavior and made me run one single lap around the field. That was it.
Years later my dad, who was on the sidelines near this kid's dad, said the dad saw me slug his kid in the jaw, and just said to his wife "good, that little s**t needed to learn some manners"

I told my three kids when they were in elementary school that if they ever had a bully that they couldn't handle (and I imbued them with life skills to handle tough situations) to let me know and I'd take care of it. I also told them that if any of them ever bullied someone that I'd hold them in place and let the kid they were bullying beat the snot out of them. They never bullied anyone and never had troubles getting bullied.

I had a few bullies who were physically abusive. One of them decided it would be funny to try and beat me up while his brother played lookout (also known as gang up on me if I started to get the upperhand). Unfortunately for him, my older brother saw what was happening and pulled everyone apart and let me and the bully just fight one on one.
I smashed his face into a metal fence. He was far less willing to pick on me when he realised I wasn't afraid of actually hurting him.

I have 2 smaller brothers, and there were 3 brothers in same area, roughly our age (so the oldest was year older than me, the middle one was year older than our middle one and the youngest were same age) for short period they did pick on my brothers, but when I caught the younger ones I pretty roughly stopped them and threw them to the "ditch" near by (no one was hurt) next day their big brother comes huffing and puffing to me in school and gets in my face, I threw him as hard as I can to the floor right in the middle of the hallway, he was gasping for air but not hurt.. after that those brothers did not pick on my brothers :)

In 6th grade there was this guy who was as horrid of a human as you can imagine. He treated me like garbage day in and day out. One day he is sitting next to me and clearly started cheating off my test, I noticed and started filling in incorrect answers. I then get up like I had aced it and go to turn it in, but made sure he was in front of me in line to hand it to the teacher. He hands his in, I turn around and go back to my desk to fill in the correct answers. Dude failed math that quarter. Suck it Bully.

I saw my bully at the bar. He didn't even recognize me. I followed him out of the bar, and called him in for driving under the influence. As he was going through the sobriety test with the police, I slowly drove by, honked my horn, made eye contact, and flipped him off.

This is kinda tacky and icky. It's like the OP is reaching for something to boast about by making someone else feel lower. What I know of people who were mean to others is they were going through some s**t in their life. Abuse, neglect, unstable parents. They didn't have the maturity to understand nor know how to deal with it in a healthy way. You don't know what kinds of crap they've already endured. You likely barely knew their whole life at all. I hate to break it to you, but revenge is not a medicine to cure your bad times of being picked on in school. Pride is a crux of the insecure, so by going to your bully and bragging about your wealth (more like huge-ass debt), plans to get married (another huge expense), and post-secondary education (more big debt) like it's something she should envy you're acting no different than a bully. Her reacting has a multitude of contexts that have nothing to do with your interpretation of humiliation.

However as an adult while I'll always dislike my former bullies I wish no ill will towards them. What happened happened, and though I didn't realize it then it made me tough in a good way.

One of my relatives became good friends with a bully by helping him with his schoolwork because "I thought he needed a friend". (Different strategy when she was bullied by some mean girls: she drew a portrait of the leader and stabbed it in front of her. That sent the leader running in terror to the teacher - but the clique left her alone after that)

I was in 4th grade and had been bullied by a kid named Rocky, swear to God that was his name lol, who was in 6th grade. Any way he would trip me, knock books out of my hands, punch me etc....
One day out on the playground he pushed me into the merry go round while it was spinning, I was rolled around inside it while people were trying to stop it. The whole time he's laughing at me.
I get pulled out and I'm scraped up pretty good, get taken to the office to get patched up. Teachers ask what happened, I told them I fell.
Went back outside and saw him standing there with his buddies, I ran as fast as I could toward him and punched him as hard as I could in the face, broke his nose and just stood there looking at him ready to fight. His buddies told him to leave me alone and I never got picked on again at school.

One day he was sitting behind me telling me how ugly and fat I was and I lost it. I got up and starting slapping him. Like open handed b***h slapping this kid.

Little late to the party but I'll share.
This happened in first grade. I had a bully who would tease me, knock me down, and push me around. One day I was on the jungle gym and he pushed me off. I fell, broke my arm, and had to get stitches above my eye.
When I came back to school the next Monday I walked up to him, on the playground, and swung my cast right at his face; breaking his nose.
After that he left me alone.

I was being bullied at school and it got to the point where I was sick to my stomach going to school everyday. Finally, one day I decided I would rather get beat up and get it over with than keep going on this way. When my bully started in on me at the playground with three other girls backing her up, I just let out all that frustration and basically went psycho and said come on let's do this! She totally backed down. Apparently, all of her harassment was her just joking with me and why was I taking it so seriously.

I feel this one. In high school everyone thought I was going to blow up the school because I was a loner and kept to myself, and they made sure I knew I wasn't welcome. But I kept to myself because I was poor at a school full of rich kids and terrified they'd notice I only owned one pair of pants. There was one beautiful, kind girl who was nice to me and pushed back against everyone else when they were terrible, which earned her plenty of grief. I graduated, then went to college, grad school, great career... I ran into the worst offender before COVID and he'd just moved back into his rich parents house while on parole. And I know how made up this sounds, but I ended up marrying the wonderful girl who was kind to me and we've been married for 15 years. Thanks bullies, for giving me a reason to focus!

I went to a Boys only secondary school and was THE kid to pick on. Even the nerds who had a good day in the computer lab felt it was acceptable. All because of my history of Absence Epilepsy made me look like a tit nearly every day.
I'd had enough, and was moving schools for numerous reasons, including the bullying. This meathead Alex (F**k you Alex) got me in a headlock and started rubbing my scalp and trying to poke my eyes out. This was it, last day at this POS school. No punishments for anything...
From the headlock I grabbed his waist and stood up to bring him upside down (we were on a small steep slope at the edge of our school sports field) and f*****g piledrived him to the mud. Got him in a leg choke and scribbled the word Bully in biro into his forehead. Let him go, grabbed my back and walked out of school, never to be seen again.
OR SO I THOUGHT. I was a season ticket holder at my local football team (soccer) and saw him on the bus to the ground. I looked him dead in the eye the entire ride, still imagining the scribble on his forehead. He could barely look at me. Bullys are just cowards with a thick shell. Break it and they will leave you alone.

In high school, there was a group of kids my age who used to bully me. It was one of the reasons I hated high school so I graduated a year early and went off to our local university.
The next year, I'm walking across campus and one of the guys who was in the group runs up to me, excited to see someone he knew on campus and wanting to know where a certain building was.
Now this was a huge campus. I had classes that I could not get to on time without a bike because the class before it was so far away and we had 15 minutes between classes.
So he's all excited to see me and asking directions, which I gladly provided. /s
Yeah, he didn't get to his class on time. I'm pretty sure he's still looking for that building.

Fake. Karate chop. Really. Even if it was in the 80s the police would have had to be notified as this would be in line with attempting pressure point knockouts. It would have been an assault case and no school would accept liability for not disclosing that as it can cause death, brain damage or stroke. This antibully is the same idea as stabbing with a knife and honestly it would be an attempted murder which depending on state may have had you tried as an adult. This is literally the first thing they teach you about martial arts is that using them is akin to a weapon and should not be used because angry

I'm glad you felt better, however, this also happens the other way. I was bullied unapologetically and I also had a rough home life. Years later I worked part time at Target to help with college. And one of the kids who bullied me came in with a diamond on her hand and tried to order me around as she spent buckets on decor for an engagement party. I got a coworker to help her instead but on the way out she turned to her sister and said she knew I'd never be anything. She not only degraded me with that attitude but everyone else with that job as well. And some of those people are absolutely wonderful. Maybe where he works isn't what you should look down on but whether or not he's still the same kind of person. My bully has a rich husband and doesn't have to work but she's still rotten.

I agree, honest living is honest living. Not everyone is 'blessed' with financial luck or spouse/companion. Being rich mentally is priceless too.

Exactly my opinion too! I also always hate it when such an employment is treated as a joke for human failures. Like when teachers hand out applications for burger king to show that their students did poorly on a test... Most people who work at burger king are much less human failures that most pharma-company execs

People working on minimum-wage jobs shouldn't be seen as revenge for anything. It degrades the job as something that happens as a consequence of being a bad person.

In 10th grade, there used to be a trend called folding, (Or nuggeting is what people are telling me), where you would turn someone's backpack inside out, put everything inside it, then zip tie it. Well, the way I prevented this was to put two 5 pound metal weights inside.
Now, there was one bully that would thrive off of making all negative attention turn to me. "I may have done that, but (me) is stupid" ect. Well, at one point I left the class and came back and this guy folded my backpack. Teacher walks out of the room and the bully turns to me and goes "Hey look, (me) got what he deserved."
Now, I'm not that strong, but I swung that backpack in into his face as hard as I could and knocked him down.
Got suspended, and he tried to keep bullying me. I finally walked up to him and went, "do you want me to snap again?". He stopped after that. Made me so happy.

A bunch of us used to do this to each other in high school, but we called it beanpodding. No zipties, though - it was just meant to be a "gotcha" prank, not a total pain in the ass. The goal was to do it quietly and not have them realize until the bell rang. If they were running late, they had no time to undo it, and would have to carry the beanpod to the next class. Good times! :)

Mine's super petty. There was a dude who picked on me in middle school. I was a quiet nerd who didn't bother anyone.
One day the book fair rolls through. He buys a book. He's enjoying it. He's about halfway through.
I steal it.
He complains, I act innocent, the teacher believes me. F**k you, Clay. I still have that book.

Think it’s more the bully getting a taste of their own medicine. Like the folks who end up physically lashing out after constant bullying; doesn’t mean they’re violent, just giving it back.

I was your typical looking nerd - scotch tape on my glasses, very high grades, smallish size, building radios in the bus, etc. People tried bullying me more than once, but turns out I got a temper and always fought back. Once a much bigger kid (you know those guys who failed twice in primary school and started puberty before everyone) tried his luck at bullying me by locking me in a locker... (how f*****g cliche I know, I think I'm claustrophobic today because of it). The second I got out, I went into the classroom, walked straight up to him (he was sitting down) grabbed a chair on my way and slammed it on his head. I don't remember much of what happened next because I was in that red state of rage. He never bothered me again and I didn't get in trouble, the teachers loved me and he was a regular bully.

Outragous and even excessive violence helps, but you do get in trouble for that. I did, more than once. Only one punch went unpunished, because the teacher accepted the reason. That's no excess, not dangerously harmful in most cases, and a lot more than I'd have expected. But also - you may encounter teacher's who simply don't care if they don't have to...

I had a temper in middle school too but they loved to f with me until I lost it, until one day I almost disemboweled a classmate with a mechanical pencil (he pissed me off, I lost control and slashed at him with the pencil like a knife and cut his hoodie and shirt to shreds with one slash, if it would be a few millimeters deeper he would have been gutted) after this they stopped f ing with me.

In fifth or sixth grade there was this huge a**, he would push my head into the water fountains, call me fat, all of the stereotypical stuff. Well one day, he asked to go the bathroom, so while he was still there I asked to go as well. After he left, I put some cloth in the sink and turned it on, flooding the bathroom. He got in trouble for it, and I wasn't even a possible suspect because I was probably the nicest kid in that school.

I have a similar, but kinda different story. This was in Year 9 (England, so 14-15 year olds) The kid was new at the time, so he had only been there a few months, but he was kinda shady. For example, he once tried to do an insurance call during lunch break, claiming he fell down the stairs or something. The guy hung up on him bc of how bad his acting was. Anyways, that same week (i think) in Chemistry class (2nd floor), he randomly pulls a bottle of shampoo out of his backpack, pours some of that sh*t on to my hair. Like WTF?! So, I go to wash my hair in the toilets. He follows me in, under the guise of trying to apologise. He then clogs the sink up with TP and then tells me not to snitch. At this point, i'm baffled at his MO. Soon enough, water seeps through down to the office, completely f*cking the elec. Both of us questioned. Obviously i snitched! He got expelled. Turns out he purposely wanted to get a short, temporary suspension , as he got a girl pregnant (or so i heard).

Maaaan the opposite happened to me and my boy. Freshman year high school, a dude we were cool with who happened to have big glasses and people would I guess coin his look nerdy threw like bbq sauce, peaches, and like a mix of s**t at the washroom wall and my and my other bud were like "Brooo... no" Well they use the cameras and call us all down and the dude who did it was like... "Seriously, it was me" and me and my boy who had a bad reputation since grade school were just kinda quiet. The principle (not my "pal") told him that "It was okay, you don't have to cover for them" Lol I was like "The f**k?" in which of course I look like a bigger asshat. Me and my guy never pointed the finger at him but he kept trying to tell the school that it was just his doing... Yet me and my other buddy were the "assholes"

Something I've seen in highschool; bully is taking a dump, victim grabed his pants from under the stall's door and keeps pulling till the guy got on the floor, halfway through it (lower half), ran away with his spoils of war and hid them somewhere. I can't remember seeing that bully ever again.

He just finished being a huge jerk towards me and making fun of me. I was fuming and he turned his back to me.
I hocked up the biggest loogie of my life (does anyone still say that?) and spat it on the back of his stupid leather vest. After my anger had cleared a little bit, I remembered he is a muscular 6'4'' guy and I'm a scrawny little 5'10'' guy. I realized that none of his groupies saw me do it and I backed away.
Later I heard him shouting angrily in the locker room. Luckily he didn't know it was me.

Fourth grade, there was a boy who liked to pull my ponytail. Not a little tug, either -- he'd come up behind me and YANK it. Tried shouting at him, slapping him, even told on him once, but the teacher didn't care. Started wearing a braid instead, which of course he still pulled. After a couple weeks, I went to school with a bunch of straight pins in my braid. One pull, problem solved.

I've got a weird one, the guys I hung out with were all bullied as was I. All boys school and everyone fighting for dominance, used to get stabbed with compasses, punched, all sorts. Anyway, one day, a guy who wasn't a bully started slapping me around the head with a ruler, it wasn't hard just really annoying and I absolutely lost it, grabbed the ruler off and battered him until the red went. He leant into me and said " no one will ever dare touch you again after that". He'd planned it to stop me getting bullied, 14 years old and a master of teen psychology, I'd love to buy him a beer now but he's an archaeologist in Australia so it's unlikely as I'm still UK based. But faaaark, I'll never forget that, utterly selfless.

Not really revenge (at least not deliberately?) but one time the popular girls brought spicy chilli peppers into class and dared people to eat them they could record them on their phones and laugh at them while they were in pain from the spices. Problem is, I had a higher pain tolerance towards spicy foods than they were expecting (jalapeños are one of my favourite pizza toppings hahaha) so much that they got pissed at me for ruining their video and accused me of not chewing the peppers properly when I didn't show any outward signs of distress.

But there was 1 kid that was so bad, he wasn't allowed to sit near my son. One day, the teacher left the room (they weren't to be left alone together) & this kid gets up, & heads right to him. Son told him to leave several times, but this boy kept taunting, hitting & throwing things. He lost his temper when the kid talked about me. He went after him, chased him down the hall & threw him headfirst into lockers. I said he wouldn't be punished at home since they failed to do their job & he was defending his family. VP was livid. Saw the kid a few years ago, 25yo looked strung out. He wouldn't look at son. Karma is a b***h

I used humor to escape bullying. First people were laughing at me. Then I started making jokes about myself and people stopped laughing at me and started laughing with me. Pretty soon we weren't even laughing about me anymore and the bullying was mostly left behind. I realize that it's not this easy for everyone and perhaps I'm oversimplifying but I know a lot of comedians started because they had trouble being bullied or just had trouble with other people in general.
