What would you say to your bullies if you ran into them today? Do you forgive them?

[TheeTrybrid]

Personally I do forgive them because we were kids but I'm not going to pretend we're friends... I'm just going to ignore u.

I found out that some of my bullies ate either in jail or single parents that never left their parents home

Children who bully grow up to be adults who bully. There cannot be forgiveness until these people see what they're doing to others and ask for forgiveness. This rarely happens, as there are many types of bullies, as well as there are many reasons why people are bullied.

Reality is bullying is a part of the human condition. It's a way for some to feel better about themselves, while for others it's a way to get ahead in life. Simply put, these types of people are toxic, and have to be navigated around. Because they will always be there.

I would say nothing. Use of force authorized! Fire at will.

Thanks for the most helpful opinion.
Vengeance is intoxicating.

[TheeTrybrid]

Of course. Yes and it's exhausting, the lives they lead are vengeful enough for me 😂

Karma's a bitch. Well I don't believe in karma, so I took matters into my own hands.

I might say hi if I see them again but that's it. I can forgive them but I can never forget what they did and how they made me feel.

[TheeTrybrid]

I don't know about the hello part but I agree with the rest

[boredgal]

not really coming over to them and say hi just a head nod

Kids like this really don’t grow out of it. They become unstable adults. If someone seemed genuinely sorry they were never really a bully to begin with. Kids usually feel guilty right away. Those that don’t don’t deserve my forgiveness now if paths crossed. They’d be the same. In my experience.

Bumped into most of my old ones and we had a civil and chill conversation and got apologized to. However there is one cockbag I want to see again just so I can knock him out. I don't even care. Fuck that clown, the only reason it didn't happen in high school is because my friends held me back or else I would have gotten suspended or expelled.

[Kori1236]

To be resentful towards them would just be a waste of time and energy. So I could forgive them. But I wouldn’t want them as friends; I’d consider myself neutral to them

[Changiis07]

I would forgive them and move on and keep pushing forward. They do not define me

[TexasRed95]

One of them I would probably murder on the spot because he slapped my sister in the face as well as bullied me. I fought him for it but he had 2 of his buddies there with him. The others met whatever I would talk to them.

[qwert1234]

I was not bullied so it's easy for me to say that if I had been bullied, I would have forgiven them, but not forgotten.

[Adam1978]

I wouldn't recognize them today, so no risk for that.

[Agent_Elflord]

Nah, I’d ask them if they got hit by a train or if their BDs left them.

[Wise4myage]

I was never bullied, but they deserve a bunch in the nose.

[captain_voidwalker]

Something I said to them back in high-school. A fist right to the face

[Anonymous]

:) I made my amends with my many victims in the past. They all forgave me. <3

[Guy13]

Who remembers them ⁉️🤷🏻‍♂️

[JaxiCats]

No I don’t I just ignore them

[bigpauly]

I’d probably do the same lol

[_Just_A_girl_]

Hm I suppose.

[Anonymous]

I would ignore them

[Dimension453]

I'd spit on them

[RobEurope]

No. Never.
