I’m Sorry

[NHB7]

When I was in middle school I was an asshole and a bully to a few kids. I’m 36 now and to this day I still experience terrible pangs of regret. I wish I could find them and apologize. I’ve tried a few times, but no success.

Anyone else experience hurt or regret over childhood bullying?

I regret isolated moments of shittyness from time to time. Just try better in the future.

You ask forgiveness from The Man. Ask forgiveness for all the sins you have committed from the smallest of offenses to the largest infractions. Then take a moment to forgive everyone that has ever sinned against you, from the largest of offenses to the smallest infractions. Sincerely. Then you leave it in the past and move on.

If you are a non-believer, and/or if you want to do something additional, volunteer to visit a high school and give a speech about bullying or some other sort of community service like participate during a Big Brother event, etc. Then let it go and do better going forward.

I bullied a kid for a week in middle school and saw what I was doing and stopped. It was like doing heroin (we all have) and missing your kids recital for the first time. What had I become? I stopped immediately.

I dated that guy's cousin for a little bit 10 years later, and she said he became a huge piece of shit. I hope I didnt have a hand in it

I get more frustrated and anxious when I remember being shitty to other people more than when I remember being treated that way myself, that's for sure. I'm still in contact with people I grew up with some through Facebook and some at work and around town. Had an exchange or two with people that I was mean to then but admire now and they were pretty much the same way; over other people's shit and working to atone for their own, usually by paying it forward (donating to social causes, volunteering with at risk youth, etc.) I work with a guy who tormented me in middle school. He admitted that he was worried that I was going to beat him up in high school after I got swole.

I’m really impressed.



Not that you are remorseful, but that you said “pangs” correctly and didn’t say “pains” like every other moron would.

Just tell yourself that the moms of the kids you bullied flew confederate flags and it was ok.

yeah I definately regret that I used to take part in bullying this kid in grade school. He was the one kid that everybody targeted because he acted weird. I feel bad and think about how much it probably sucked because I don’t remember 1 person being his friend. Kids can be pretty cruel

winner.

I was never a bully at ALL, however I am mildly enormous and had a lot of friends. So one time I pointed down the hall, and this fat muslim kid thought I was pointing at him and just like covered up like I was going to beat the shit out of him. Kareem, I was never going to hurt you, you tubby fuck.

u sound like the assholes who picked on me back in middle school (im asian and i was tiny compared to the other kids i was only taller than 3 girls) but it's all good if you feel remorse

 

[Michaelangelo]

those nerds had it coming

 

[Kardashians]

I never bullied anybody, but I had good friends and because I was going through shit I treated them in ways that were less than what they deserved. I’ve found them on Facebook. Now I just need the nerve to apologize to them.

Never bullied anyone and never will. Bullies are cowards. Can't blame them all though. They are a product of their families. Some had very abusive fathers. Got bullied a few times in Junior High School because I was small and English was my second language. Got into a few fights and lost them all. I did not know how to fight and was scared. Three years is a long time when you are small and scared. Grew up and got big. Learned how to fight and fight hard. Became a soldier. Now I just love to beat the shit out of bullies when the situation calls for it. True bullies usually grow up to become nothing. They get involved in crime and go to prison or are on welfare and drugs. Others, like you, mature and recognize their mistake. I don't know what it feels like to be a bully, but I sure know what if feels like to be bullied. For those that regret their bullying, your sins are forgiven. For those that don't, I hope I run into you. Same if you like to hurt animals.

Me too. Bullied these two brothers really bad through grades 5-10. It really fucked them up. I too would like to apologize but I don't feel like sending a message over facebook is the way to go.

Why did I do it? Mostly because of the pack mentality but also because I didnt want to be a victim myself I think. I was bullied a little when I first moved to this small town as a kid and it was either eat or be eaten. Obviously I and many others picked the weakest kids to bully.


Anyways, I hope they will forgive me one day.
