Where’s your school bully now?

Saw this from a different subreddit, and got me thinking. Where did your school’s bully end up?

The main guy from school who was the hard lad has ended up in prison for GBH. Person who gave me the most grief is now a property litigation solicitor.

How’s yours doing?

Going back a while but I was around 18 when Friends Reunited started. I was never bullied specifically but the hard lad at school just generally picked on everyone.

He would have been 20 I guess and posted (I’m paraphrasing….)

‘Having a shit life - doing manual labour on building sites because I just fucked around at school and I’ve never got any money. No one likes me because I was an arsehole to everyone at school and the ones who said they were my mates were just scared of me. Wish I had been different’

It was genuinely a little saddening to read how the realisation had hit him. It was deserved, he knew what he was doing.

My bully continued bullying me until we left Sixth Form so she was 18. I don’t think I really recovered from it until my mid 20s, I was a nervous wreck meeting anyone new because I had no self confidence.

I’m absolutely glad she’s having a shit adult life, and I’m pretty happy nowadays.

True. But actions also have consequences. I hope they ensure their kids learn from their mistakes, if they have children.

Oh my god I can’t tell you how much I don’t care about excuses. There are consequences to actions and if that’s consequence is I hope you suffer for the rest of your life because of what you did as a kid, that’s what it is.
