Is this the most stupidest reason to treat someone poorly?

Anonymous

I got treated like garbage by classmates from grades 5th to 8th. My parents and I moved to another state afterward. I was celebrating that day, happy to not ever see them in any of my classes ever again.

I made some friends in HS and changed my hairstyle (never told anyone I was bullied) but even after going through all that horrible treatment back then, I did the same thing to someone else for 3 months. Here is my stupid reason why I did it. Even though I wasn't popular, I actually had 2 followers for the first time ever. I wanted to feel, to see (got curious) what it was like having that power. I wanted to see what it was like doing what they did to me. I wanted see how it felt like being on the other side of the fence.

After the 3rd month, it didn't feel good. The girl was at the verge of crying and right there I saw myself in that girl. I stopped it right there. We (now 22 year-olds) befriended her afterwards and been inseperable ever since. Was that the most stupidest reason ever?

Shame on me. I knew what it's like being ostracized but yet do it to someone else (for a brief period though) just because I was curious about what's it like doing the bullying. I guess this would be a case of hurt people, hurt others.
