I'm sure everyone has been bullied once or twice in their lives. Have you forgiven them?
I used to get bullied by these two sixth graders back in fourth grade. They made that part of my childhood a living hell...I don't think I could ever forgive them. Kids are so mean around that age.
nope, she's the cause behind most of my current insecurities
that sounds really petty but i really think my life would be much easier if she didn't treat me the way she did. i always regret not standing up to her earlier. it took me 2 years to do anything.
I have been bullied but never had a specific bully that would taunt me. No, I don't forgive them. I think most bullies are insecure so they target other people.
I mean I don't really think of them anymore at all. It's been 6 years since I graduated HS and I don't see them anymore. So IDK if I'd say I forgive them but I've just moved on. There's a couple in particular who would physically bully me though and I have a little more resentment towards them and I don't think I could truly forgive them for that type of thing. But the other bullies who were just verbal with their bullying, yeah I guess I forgive them?
I kinda had 1 person who just hated me, idk exactly why, but I'm putting my money on jealousy. The teacher absolutely adored me, I had the best grades and I always behaved(don't see anything wrong with that). He always tried to make fun of me, but I was never offended simply because it just wasn't that offensive to me. This one time, in PE we were getting tested and as I passed 50 push ups he would hit my arm so I could fall, but I didn't. I ended up getting awarded for my physical abilities and he didn't, so he must've been seething.
The only time I ever really got mad at him was when I was with my cousin, who is obese, and as she was walking towards my table in the cafeteria he yelled out "earthquake" and all his friends laughed. That made her cry.
I shouldn't have ever forgiven him for that, but I assume he changed by now. I saw and talked to him a few months ago at a store I was working at, and he seemed quite chill but also a bit nervous. Neither of us brought up the subject,
this is creepy because last night I had a dream that someone used to bully me was asking for forgiveness, I didnt forgive him in the dream and I definitely dont forgive them irl, or at least now
Yeah, what they said to me doesn't affect me anymore. They knew I was gay before I did I honestly want to know why they picked on me out of all people though
The high school ones yes. But bullying doesnt stop there. Its prevalent in the workplace. My assistant manager let a cook get away with calling me slave boy, and he neither of them were punished. And I will NEVER forgive them.
I've never really had a bully bully bc I'd usually stand up for myself but the one girl that used to bother me got pregnant at 16, dropped out of school and lives w/ her boyfriend in some [hopefully musty] basement. Saw her on the bus the other day on the way home from work. That was something.
I feel like I was the bully [by association] and the guy I used to laugh at [when people would take his money + make fun of him] lives right next to me. It's been so awkward for a long time but I say hi to him when I see him
Not so much forgiven, just moved on. I still hold a bit of distaste towards the people who made over 10 years of my life somewhat horrible, but I'm in a happy place now, so it's better not to dwell.
I honestly want to know why they picked on me out of all people though
