Have you ever crossed paths with someone who used to be your bully in your childhood? What happened if so?

[Still-alive]

Yes i did. We are friends now

I did yes. They apologized for it but don’t hang out

I did but they were still douche bags

I have not reunited with an old bully

I never got bullied in school as a kid

[petitedollbabee]

She was my bully for a few years and we ended up becoming friends in my last year of school. Stayed friends until I was 19 and then she just became a really nasty person. Using people for money and drugs, anything she could get her hands on, really. I cut off contact after that and she moved away, haven’t crossed paths since.

[electromagnetic]

I did. He bullied me from grade 6-8.
I was walking down the street with my sister once and I ran into the dude. He tried really hard to pinpoint where he knew me from. So I said, sorry we’ve never met and walked away

[Still-alive]

Nice 👍🏻

[Vesuvius87]

Great. That's the best reply they deserved, refusing to even acknowledge their existence.

[ArrowheadSW]

Not from childhood, but I crossed paths with a lady who bullied me in grad school of all places. She was horrible to me as a lab partner in a class in the 2nd semester. When I crossed paths with her later she couldn't look me in the face and looked down to the ground. I was polite and friendly and she said very little. Not sure if she was ashamed at her behavior towards me or just embarrassed to cross paths. I was polite and friendly not because she deserved it, but because to act otherwise wouldn't have served any good purpose.

I had someone who wasn't a bully just cheeky but her group mates threw her under the bus and we became friends when I had her back. I gave her a place among my group and even she was surprised. I am glad there was no bad blood in the end and she admitted her friends weren't really her friends

[ArrowheadSW]

@AmeerX So you took someone under your wing, who was bullied by other people? That was cool of you.

[AmeerX]

She tried to be cheeky with me and she used to mock me. She even once threatened to slap me once when I caught her cheating during exam.
But 3 years later and were thesis fellows. God remembers but man is forgetful

[AmeerX]

We didn't have bullies in our schools but we had fights. And my friend and I became friends afterwards. Well, let's just say we got left behind in our class and so, we buddies got each other's back 😃. Then I lost contact with ihm after school and in university we were again reunited and now his father died during 2019 and I attended his funeral too.

This is also a lessen for people out there. Remember, worldly seperation is of no consequence. God will reunite you with the ones that matter in the end.

[DizzyDesii]

Yes and they always try to act friendly and ask for a hug as if they never were mean. Like if that fake wench dont get tf away from me, I know something

[Vesuvius87]

Don't acknowledge them. Tell them you don't know them, say bye and walk away.

[DizzyDesii]

@Vesuvius87 lmao i wish i could be like “Do i know you” 😂 But im not on that level of petty. I just dodge the hug and say ohh okay and keep walking

[Vesuvius87]

Nope and I haven't been in the US for the longest either. Besides if I were to hypothetically see them, they would be like strangers by now. They didn't care about forming a strong bond with me back then so why would I even want to speak to them now in my mid-late 30's?

They don't know me as a person and neither do I know them. I don't even care either.

[molonski2]

Never got bullied by any kid that I can recall anyhow , but was by some teachers , and a neighbour , it was a violent time back then , when I met them they still tried to intimidate me , but this time I told them all clearly what they had done.

[zagor]

My first job out of HS a guy who used to kind of bully me in Jr. High also worked there. I say kind of because he was kind of a flunky of the guy who really bullied me. We recognized each other and just kind of did a "howz it going" thing and never really talked much, especially about the past.

I was a lot bigger than him by then.

[thegreenyogi]

Yes I did. He apologised and couldn't look me in the eyes.

[Still-alive]

Was that it or did you become friends?

[thegreenyogi]

That was it.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

I crossed paths with someone I used to bully once. I did apologize, but they were my nurse so I don't know if they believed me. Haven't seen them again, but I've been trying to stay out of the hospital anyway lol.

[Sparkie460]

The bully and I became friends in high-school after I beat the crap out of him

[Sparkie460]

He started with me, I had enough and let him have it. I broke his nose and knocked 3 teeth out. We were brought down to the principal. He got suspended for 3 weeks since he started it. I got detention for a week. When he came back to school we were called to the principal and he made us shake hands. The bully said he would never both me again since I was like a loose cannon

[Sparkie460]

He would pick on a lot of people. He stopped after that day.

[Still-alive]

That dude is a troll. Im blocking his ass

[Sparkie460]

Ok gotcha

[Monalisa77]

One of my worst nightmares. Closest I've been is someone randomly messaging me from school apologising for bullying me but i thought we used to be mates 🙄

[Sour-rose]

He was a nurse in training? But like everyone else from school that Im concerned with... he's dead.

[menina]

I never saw them again and I'm glad I didn't. I would never be friends with them, that would be crazy.

[strateguy632]

one of the many who bullied me apologized because he thought god was punishment him because he was mean to me. confused situation.

[MemeSupreme]

I've crossed into a few bc i got bullied A TON. i got mixed reactions from them but i never became friends with them neither would i want to

[DancingQueen16]

Well I've never run into someone who used to be mean to me but two years ago I ran into someone who I was friends with in elementary school

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Never made friends with an old bully, just moved on with life.

[LiamJHayden]

I never got bullied, but the d-bags in middle and high school whom I've run into are all still a-holes.

[Pete671]

I used to get bullied by a gang of girls, when I bumped into one of them I got a hard on lol,,,

[Luopio27]

As in a boner?

[Pete671]

@Luopio27 lol yes a boner!!!

[Pohjolan]

Frankly I seriously considered killing him right then and there.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Nope. I have never been bullied.

[Still-alive]

Sadly it seems like you're a rare exception in our world. most have experienced some bullying in their lives

[Drewtate]

I dated her for a while.

[sheikalana]

I did and they're all miserable now.

[douride2]

I voted the third choice.

[MysticDevice]

Nah. Most of them are in jail now so...

[Smashingdoozy]

Thankfully not
