Admit it, guys: we can all be mean and cruel and heartless when we're children. So share your stories about how awful you were.

I remember in eighth grade, there was this girl in my class I went to a different school with when I was younger and she was mean to me then and mean to me at the time. (We made up by the end of high school.) One girl who had this class with us always saw us bickering and she swooped to my side to defend me from her. Being socially awkward at the time and not knowing how to say "Thanks, but I've got this," I said "No offense, but mind your own business." That started a WAR for the rest of the year. We were back and forth at each others' throats, and at one point I remember calling her a stupid bimbo Barbie. Anywaaay, by the end of the year we kind of forgot about it, and I never ran into her in high school. We only talked briefly maybe once after that year. I saw her at a friend's wedding a few months ago and thought about going up to apologize, but I was like naaaaah because she probably didn't remember.

In ninth grade, there was this girl who initially seemed like one of the sweetest people you could meet. Everybody liked her. Some boys in my class who didn't like me influenced her into not liking me either, so we eventually got into a feud. She was mostly the one who was awful to me, but one day in a fit of rage after she told me I had no friends, I told her, "You're never going to amount to anything in life." She cried in the bathroom during lunch that day. I initially felt bad when some girls told me that, but then I realized she deserved it. Our ninth grade class was out of control with me getting into fights with people, so eventually our teacher staged a mass "therapy" session towards the end of the year, so it was all pretty much resolved and I barely saw the girl after that year.

And one last story: there was this really nerdy boy in my homeroom class in ninth grade. I didn't think I was overtly mean to him, but I did join in some of the bullying in an attempt to fit in with the "cool" kids. The one really awful thing I did though - and this was BAD - was steal his homework and put my name on it, while he had to take a 0. (I wasn't targeting him specifically, I just forgot to do my homework and didn't want a bad grade!) I think he found out later. I found out just how much he hated me at the end of the year when he spread a hit list around the school and I was #16 on it. He got suspended for the last two weeks of the year and I never saw him again after that.

No. I couldn't be even if I wanted to because I was literally the most unpopular girl in school and nobody was below me in terms of loser-ness. Even the other unpopular kids wanted nothing to do with me fff. I literally had nobody to bully because nobody was worse than I was.

Yes. But, I only bully people who are stuck up and rude without knowing someone. I love to make their lives hell.

Briefly. He was younger than me. I used to open up Microsoft paint and draw a monkey and label him. And then he hit me across the back of my head with his metal lunch box. All of the staff laughed and I felt embarrassed That's how you know I went to a ghetto day care centre otherwise they would have berated him. I did deserve it tho

At times. Hurt people hurt people.

I've neither been bullied nor bullied anyone.

nah
only in my head

Yes in elementary school

This girl used to have a crush on me and would follow me and my friend around. My friend and I would run away from her. One day while in line outside of the classroom I took my pencil and drew a line down this ugly picture she drew that was hanging on the wall the teacher called my mom and I told her to go ahead because my mom wasn't home

There was this girl whose name sounded like a rat so everyone called her that, including me.

That was 2nd grade though. After that I became friendlier and would stand up for anyone getting bullied - myself included.

Never. I actually was bullied myself in elementary school and at one point didn't even want to go to school anymore for that reason. That experience really changed me and showed me how awful bullying truly is.

Yes. In elementary school I would bully this one guy and call him gay. Turns out I grew up to be gay. I would never bully someone now.

I was pretty awful up until middle school. After that, I was only that way towards certain people

A true reverse Warholian experience.

No. I always try and be as understanding and accommodating to people as possible.

I was going to say no but one of the posts here reminded me of something small. There was this girl that was in my class Grade 5-6, she was my friend, and then she moved to another school. There was one day in Grade 7 that she came to visit at recess, and everyone was running away from her, including me

She was kind of a mess though. I remember in Grade 5 she said that she'd be leaving and going to another school because this one was too hard for her (we were in an extended french program). February 14 was supposed to be her last day, and everyone was saying bye to her and stuff, and right at the end of the day she "decided" she was going to stay. The entire class got SO mad at her, I don't think she was ever supposed to be leaving, she just made it up.

And I invited her to my birthday in Grade 5 too, and she asked to borrow an expensive computer game I got that day on my birthday, and I was too nice and let her do it, and she "lost" it.

No my mother raised me right

nnnn; I started to do that after eighth grade with bimbo barbie. I actually cut her picture out of the yearbook and glued it into a notebook. I regret doing that, but my eighth grade yearbook was a mess anyway. My picture in it was the most hideous thing ever, I should just literally burn the damn thing.
