You don't have to get revenge on someone who has hurt you...and really the best revenge is no revenge at all. You can be extremely happy and they'll be jealous and insecure. That's all the revenge you need...not to worry about them and their petty ways.

The best revenge is letting them know you are happy in life. At your hs reunion or thru a Christmas card or somehow, emphasize how happy you are in life about something. Whether it is family/boyfriend or hubby/kids, your job, college, volunteer work, pets, purchasing a new home whatever; just brag it up without being annoying and keep repeating how happy you are. I forget who said it but "the best revenge is living well" is good advice. Also, if you were made fun of for a certain reason, acne, weight, whatever, and you no longer have the characteristic they made fun of you about, include a pic in Christmas cards/update letters. Good Luck and concentrate on your life now. PS a lot of the biggest popular people that made fun of others in hs are not successful/happy in life, hs was the best days of their life and that is sad and perhaps the best revenge.

Well, i see everyone is telling you about the ole COMPETITIVE REVENGE tactics. My....much HIGH esteem you must have a lot for... this person to take it away, little by little. You will always remember the feces that made your high school life a living hell and if that's not enough, it will make you into a bitter self loathing person if you are not careful not to manage your anger properly. Think about it...You will not be able to focus properly. you will miss out on lots of joyous act ivies. You will not trust ppl easily which will destroy your social life. You will be what this person wanted you to be. So, if still in high school and have great friends- don't tell them that you just piss in your enemy cup juice of beverage... may your spirit return with sass and glory....LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Let it go.
It shows you are the bigger person, it shows you totally do not care what he thinks or says. If you react, it will totally make you fall into his trap. I know you are young, and this is a hard concept for you.
However, look up "karma". He is collecting bad karma, you do not have to do anything, and the problem will solve itself.
Revenge will only make the hurt worse. It is like a tidal wave gathering more and more water to itself as it comes toward shore, wreaking destruction in its path. Is this what you want for the rest of your life?

by how u have been hurt? u want a positive revenge or negative revenge? positive revenge will give u positive outcome like other advises, negative revenge will end up to something really bad.. either bad to u or to the person.

Watch out. Yahoo! might bust your question because it could possibly be inspiring comments about physical violence...
...anyhoo, don't go shooting up the joint like Columbine...the best revenge is to just live your life better then they do and never treat people like that punk who messed with you. You can also get really rich and ruin every opportunity they try to take...

If you're like me, you get the chance later, when you're not expecting it. Sometimes when enough time goes by, that person will need your help. You can then take the chance to say "no, because of..." or you can help them. Me, I'm a bad person. I helped them, and then proceeded to explain how much I disappreciated what they did to me in the past. That way they feel embarassed about needing help and a little ashamed at what they did. Made me feel better, and gave me some closure.

The best revenge is not revenge....move on and do better...don't get stuck in high school...feelings of revenge only lead to distruction for you.

I am not trying to sound like a mom but getting revenge on that person, will it really make you happy in the long run? That person was wrong, but he or she obviously was a unhappy person to do those things. Let that person live in their own misery. let them be the horrible person, not you. It will come back and bite that person in the butt someday!!!

Do everything you can to be yourself. Don't hold on to how angry it makes you - They will have forgotton about the thing that has upset you and won't be affected by it anymore. Why should you? Who get's to be miserable? Clue: Not them.
Anyway bullies in school nearly always end up as unhappy adults. Unqualified statement but I bet it's true!
