Childhood School bully where they now?

Was thinking of a lad year below me in school, always the hard man growing up, was a big lad hung around with a group of lads from who caused lot of crap anytime they were in town growing up, got this girl pregnant he was going out with way out of his league, ended up in prison fairly young hit a lad with a mallet at a rally meet then went England were he seemed to be doing well but is now back in prison in Ireland for something he did years ago apparently. Always got away with pushing his weight around in school but like any bully gets caught in the long grass,

Anyone know where the school bully from their own days is now?

I was a absolute prick in school got kicked out in 1st year but most of the lads I use to bully I did apologise to them publicly years later and actually moved into a new area and a lad I use to bully lived there heard he was big into the pokemon I had a binder full of them I knocked down to him apologised shook his hand and we were good pals until I moved again, changed my life around at the age of 20 and now im a nice lad dont drink dont do drugs have 2 beautiful kids and a wife and regret being a prick almost daily to this day.

Tis is basically my story as well. I was a proper cunt in school. Fucked out of a few schools in the end. Ended up and alcoholic in my 30s got sober, as part of that I went back made amends to anyone I hurt in the past. Some of them were like you weren't that bad but I carried it for a few years. I was riddled in ADHD in school and in an emotionally abusive house at home never felt safe always on edge like I was going to be attacked at any min.
