I did, I wore glasses and until a few years ago when I had my lazic surgery..I cried when I could see again because my eyes were so bad I couldn't get off the bed.. Anyhow
today I ran into a girl that tormented me throughout my childhood and she used to call me "four eyes" and all those putdowns that come from wearing glasses and being short..I said,"hi, how've you been?" and it was very civil I was actually happy to see her even though she's the one wearing very thick glasses now and no I don't feel like laughing because I've been there but I just thought how wierd life is and how things turn out in the end.

I guess I can't be mean to a person who wears glasses because I understand the frustration and pain that comes from being visually impaired,no matter who it is.

i think most of us encountered the ones in high school who thought they were better than everyone else and set out to make someones life miserable. as i got older, i realized they were the ones with miserable lives. oddly enough, i did run into one of the ones i went to school with who thought if she spoke to you, you should consider yourself lucky (and IF she did, i was usually something nasty). seems her nastiness in school didn't pay off. she ended up getting married and having a baby right out of high school. she was about 4 months pregnant when we graduated. about a yr later, during a nasty divorce, she found out the guy she married wasn't the baby's father. she ended up stripping in some cheesy strip club. baby's father was found and he ended up with custody. she ended up in a mental hospital and drug rehab. she's now working on her 4th marriage. (this was the much abbreviated version) during her life-after-high-school story, i was wondering why she was telling me this. she called me a nerd and geek in school. it was nice to talk to her civilly. i ran into her a couple of weeks later. she had a few friends with her. she looked at me and turned her head. just so happens, i knew one of the girls with her. she said hi and asked how the kids were doing. the nasty girl from high school said not a word. nothing gained...nothing lost!

This is karma. People should think about their actions before acting because karma will come back and bite you in the a**.
I have found that most bullies are miserable on the inside and try to make their victims hurt as much as they do. Most that I have encountered seven years out of school are not doing good. The once "popular" rich kids have screwed up their lives because they don't have their parents status to hide behind. I remember in school how my senior year some tried to befriend my friends and I after their so-called friends dumped them.

Good for you for showing your maturity and compassion by not "getting back at her." Yes, as a matter of fact I did run into a bully from my school days not too long ago. We were civil to each other, in fact, she acted like we were long lost friends. I don't know why, because she tried to beat me up every chance she got when we were kids. I smiled and made small talk with her, but I didn't go so far as to give her a big hug or anything. Life is strange, isn't it?

there are all styles of bullying: some are much less seen than others, and a few would be interpreted as a bad shaggy dog tale as nicely as bullying. so i think of the two you're fortunate or you're this style of man or woman who interpret the borderline acts as undesirable jokes extremely of bullyings. additionally, in colleges maximum persons stay in bubbles, and a few are extra desirable than others. in case you basically work together with a small team of persons then it must be which you have not seen any bullying on your bubble yet others have seen of their bubbles. i propose bubbles, btw, because of the fact the human beings you work together with in school, because of the fact that there is not any way so which you will in my view comprehend each and each man or woman interior the college.

I can totally feel you there. I used to be the quiet nerdy kid all through elementary and middle and constantly got picked on be the 'preppy' kids. I'm now in college with a psychology major in my sights, working a great job and dating an excellent guy. A few weeks ago I saw a girl who constantly picked on me in middle school. She got pregnant in 10th grade, dropped out, and is now a single mom working at Kroger as a bag lady with three kids under 5. I feel petty to admit I love the turn of events.

Yeah, I also had an encounter with an ex-bully. I just acted like I didn't remember anything from the past and were something along the lines of friends.
