The victim ended up moving away over the summer. But resented this bully for their entire life. When they were about 40 years old they returned for a reunion and learned that the bully had died the summer they left. The author of the story realized at that moment how sad it was that this child had died and forever been trapped as a 6th grade bully never being able to grow beyond what he was. And that he had all this anxiety and hatred for someone that was no longer around. <br /> What that has to do with this maybe nothing. Or maybe you should just let your bullies die. They may already be dead. I read a story in Readers digest about a person who had been bullied in grade school by a cruel bully. The victim ended up moving away over the summer.

But like Dman said what don't kill us makes us stronger, I believe that the teasing and cruel tricks I got from others made me a stronger person. I know that I was always there for others who got teased or hurt in any way and still am. It makes me think of the other person before I talk or do something. But I don't think I could ever befriend them that hurt me. When one is hurt to that extent it is just about impossible to forget much less forgive.

When something happens like that it is alway harder to trust the next time. Some teenagers are so cruel and don\'t care who they hurt. You could have told the mother what happened but would have been the target for yet more cruelty. You were smart not to do that. I know you are a very good person and you need to let go. I understand how it effected you and how much you hurt. If you let what they have done effect the way you live, you are letting them still have control. You are a wonderful person and a very good friend. I believe one thing, \" What does not kill you makes you stronger\". Don\'t let them have the control anymore.

Am sure you turned out a better person compare to them. one can tell by the way you depict yourself in that story. you had everyone's sympathy including me. But i had high respect in you for being such a person. You deserve respect, they don't. if i were in your shoe, i could have done otherwise coz i strongly believe that if they want respect, they ought to be respectful. shall i say charge it to experience?

You did the right thing and it was rather mature for one so young. I don't understand why children must be so cruel sometimes. I still have children memories that haunt me. What a sad, sad story.

You must find it within yourself to forgive these nasty girl. Forgive, not forget.I believe in Karma, they will get their day.

I have told other teachers time and again that I would much prefer a room full of boys over a room of girls. They will just hit each other, not leave scars. Everyone has memories from there past that are still painful when they pop up, and they do. Live in the now, and enjoy the life you have now with the friends and family that I am sure are as fantastic as you are. Girls really can be mean, especially at that age.
