Would you consider being friends with a person who used to pick on you at school if they changed their ways?

No, I don't think that I would because if this person traumatized me at school by picking on me or behaved in such a way that it left me with such a negative impression about him/her, I would not want to be friends with that person.

It is always easy to say that the person changed but those changes need to be accompanied by facts and that is not that easy.

Once a person has misused my trust, it is almost impossible for me to change my mind because I don't really believe that people change. If I lost the trust in that person, it is usually for life.

It's likely they have a totally different path in life. I'd think it's unlikely we'll meet, but if we did I'd be friends. -says a person who wasn't picked on at school.

Only if they give me a rematch and after I beat them up then I will consider it

Depends on the circumstances at the time
