Did you ever get your bully to stop?

Did you have a bully growing up?

Did you ever get the best of them? Did they quit and leave you alone? Why or why not?

No. Years later though she reached out and apologized for her behaviour. She explained why she bullied me and expressed regret of the way she treated me.

When I go bullied I just let it happen. I never really said anything or did anything because I grew up in an abusive household so to it was normal to get treated like crap and made fun of. Now though I would definitely put them in their place and let them know that hurt people who hurt people solve nothing nor do they gain anything.

I had multiple bullies, none of them reached out, none of them stopped, I just managed to move away or finally graduated so didn't have to deal with them.

Well it sounds like the bullying stopped at least so I'm happy to hear that ^.^

Well I'm happy you are no longer being bullied =) cheers to that!

Yes. I wouldn't say I got the best of them. Instead of continuously taking their crap, I started telling them off whenever they opened their mouth. Eventually, yes. After a while no one had time to keep engaging in foolishness. People grow up...well some do.

This = me. And while I know it impacted me in various ways, it is now so far in the past (40+ years) that I kind of no longer think about it. Did work some of my old anger into a story for a contest a couple (maybe more) years back but then did a redemption arc with it and had my stand-in undo the damage he did in revenge.
