This movie was my fantasy!!

I like this post.

Thank you very much for the encouraging post. I really appreciate it. I was a victim of bullying all through grade school. Life was a living hell that time, but now it gets better, thankfully. I became a smarter, wiser, and stronger person, and I just got the best job ever. Now I can't wait to make some new friends who are loyal and true to me, and falling in love with the right woman for me. It never fails to satisfy me that former victims of bullying have become happier and successful. Wishing all the best for all the people who are going through, or have been through bullying. Thank you very much for sharing this.

I must say that I don't think that all bullies do it because they are jealous. I was much younger when I was bullied and it was too early to say who would succeed in life.

But I do recognize that shudder, you get, when you think about the dark thoughts you had when you were younger. I had them too and of all the therapy I've gotten throughout my life, none of it dealt with those dark thoughts about payback. Ironically it might have worked in contrary to the therapy I got.
Those dark thoughts disappeared with age and growing up. But what I hate is that my bully still didn't get what was coming to him. He should have failed in life, but he didn't. He got off easy to be honest...

I've only truly hated two people in my life. One of them is that bully. I don't think I hate him anymore, but I hate that he probably never regretted what he did. He probably still doesn't understand what horrible things he did to me.

I really hope that karma exists. 'Cause him and the other guy I hate (he's never hurt me directly, but he has hurt many others and continues) deserve it.

I know it's not the morally correct thing to say. And I'm not saying that what the kids in The Final did was alright at all! But sometimes it'd be nice if karma existed and took care of those people, so they could realize what they had done.

I, too, like your post. Congratulations for all that you have accomplished. It's not easy overcoming victimization.

But I disagree with you: many people bully (or otherwise abuse or inflict several forms of pain upon, etc.) other people only because they can. It's what evil is about.

Many people choose a person as a target because that person is perceived as weak, defenceless, and easy to prey upon. The abusers/rapists/murderers/bullies/add whatever modality of violence you can think of inflict pain and violence because they get sadistic pleasure from it.

Not to say that the other, more harmless kind of bully exists. There are plenty of those, too. But to deny the existence of evil is the same as denying kindness. Fortunately, we have the latter, too.

a bit of a sugar coated version of reality tbh

bullies jealous? - possibly in a few weird cases - most are just sick *beep* who ENJOY making other people suffer because its FUN - and easy targets are even more FUN - school is the survival of the fittest with weak kids lives being made hell - i wish it wasnt but you know thats the truth

and does it really just stop when school finishes? - NO - do these idiots suddenly become enlightened and cease their stupid stuff ? NO - why do you think there is bullying in the workplace?

The whole "bullies do it because they're jealous of you" theory really never made much sense to me. In High School, are more popular kids really going to care about how smart you are? No, not really. They might understand that you'll be more successful than them, but do they really REALLY care at that point? . . . I don't think so.



And then of course, there are kids who are being bullied when there is nothing to be jealous of. Anyone can be a victim and you seem to be looking at it as black and white - the nerds vs the popular kids. That's not so. Or would you argue that those perform poorly in school are being bullied because the bullies are jealous of something else? Not everyone has some special unique quirk that everyone wants to have.



Not everyone who is bullied will become more successful than their tormentors. What if, God forbid, those wretched people actually are intelligent? It happens, in case you didn't know that. Social status isn't relative when stereotyping that. Those beautiful and unbecoming girls from High School may not become models and actresses, and those jerk jocks might not become pro-athletes, but they could easily become your doctor. Then you also have to consider those born into a wealthy family - They might not gain anything, but they'd live in a content lifestyle.



It's good that you and your friends all became successful people. But that's not how it works for some people. Not all bullies will bully you because they're jealous, either, I'd say that rarely happens - - People are randomly attacked in schools, knocked down and shoved, when I was in middle school a group of girls plotted to lure a new student behind the school and beat her up. They didn't know her, just chose to do it. That's not jealousy - Just explainable meanness.

You are so right! About 90% of the girls who picked on me when I was a kid are all fat as hell with about 4 kids, on drugs, etc. While me on the other hand, I have been happily married for 12 years with 2 great daughters, living a great life.

It truly is ironic.

Have you seen this prick?
