Someone made a good point about this. The woman is still trying to bully Sarah even after all this time. By going through that list of what she clearly things are "achievements", what she is really saying is, "you might be on the tele but look at what I have done." It is a meaningless and dull list of vacuous life "milestones." Sarah's response was perfect.

Since leaving school I've met two of my former bullies. The first had matured quite a lot, he'd grown into a wonderful person and deeply regretted the way he treated me in school. The second tried to start a fight with me in the middle of a Walmart. Sometimes people change. Sometimes they don't.

I looked up one of my old bullies and found out he'd never moved more than 10kms in the decades after school, and that he was in jail for selling meth to highschoolers. Still yet to discover if he dealed at our old school... but going back to the hometown in about a month and, if he's still in jail, might arrange a visitation and go ask him.

Drop a plate on the floor so that it smashes. Tell it 'I'm sorry.' Does the plate fix itself?

When I was in 8th grade I was at an event with a group of friends for the day at a local high school. There were students from multiple middle schools in attendance. We walked across the street at lunch time to purchase some food at a fast food place. When I walked in the restaurant there were a group of boys waiting in line to order. One of the boys turned around and said to me, “Hey, no dogs allowed.” Now that statement can crush a middle school girl but I grew up with four brothers and learned how to handle this situation. I looked at the boy that said this and said, “Then how did you get in?” Shut him up right away. Way to handle your email.

I was bullied, physically and mentally, for most of my high school years by a group of 4 girls. After 4 yrs of it I broke down at school. Cried so much no one could understand what I was saying. After about 2 hours i eventually calmed down enough to tell my principal what the issue was. Usual replies- move away from them, play somewhere else, etc etc. That day I went home and told my parents, and an appointment was made to discuss with the principal. Not much came from it, one of the bullies parents worked at the school as a cleaner. At the end of that year, 3 of the bullies when to another school to finish the last year of school. The sole bully left at the school tried to make friends with me as her cohorts weren't there to back her up. I declined.

Not every bad egg is a product of a bad upbringing. Her parents may well be decent people who don't deserve to go through that. Sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents. And that's just family. If they went to school together there's a good chance they have mutual friends. Could you take pleasure in seeing a friend upset by the death of another friend.

I’m actually quite smart and resourceful and ended up being successful in my field, writing several books and speaking around the world. It’s absolutely gob smacking how many of the very worst bullies came out of the woodwork to suddenly be my “friend.” While generally I have accepted well-intentioned apologies, I make it clear that I want nothing to do with them because my life is too full and I have people close to me who have always loved me for who I am.

I love this! So satisfying. Like so many other commentators, I was bullied too. When I was 30, I was a presenter at a conference. When I arrived, I was surprised when one of the organizers rushed out to greet me-she'd been one of my 8th-grade bullies (!), she'd been waiting for me, and she immediately gushed her apologies for times past. Fascinating, right? Well, I was up for forgiveness and saw this theatrical apology as a legit opening for connection. So I thanked her and shared briefly (like 1 minute) about both myself and news of a mutual friend of ours. Her eyes glazed over, and she made excuses to zip off-and I never saw her again. The lesson? The bullying was never about me-It was all about her, right on down to her fakey "I want to confess and feel better" apology. Folks, remember this: It's never about the merits/goodness/worthiness of the one being bullied. It's all about the inner life (or lack of one) of the bully. 💚

It was an awful time. I joined the forces not long after and got super fit after 6 months training and became a stronger more confident person but even now when I think back, I could happily switch the light off, binge eat and not speak to anyone.

She responded because we are friends, my response was: "we were never friends so please don't try to befriend me now". She apologized and that was that.

🤣🤣😂 One of my bullies was my older brother. That is until I came home one April afternoon in my senior year. I graduated high school weighing in at 122 pounds, 55.338Kg, and he was about twice my weight and a bit taller. When I walked into the kitchen he and our sister were there. As soon as I put my books on the table he started trying to hit me. I kept telling him to stop as I blocked his punches. He said that he wanted to see if I had learned anything in my Tang Soo-Do classes. After one of his punches I struck him in the solar plexus with a heel of palm strike. I was tired and what not so I didn't care how hard I did it but he went back up against the preheating stove. Oh, he was also shirtless.🤣 The look on his face was priceless. I think he found out if I had learned anything. That was the last time he did that. Our sister didn't help him much with, "I bet you'll leave him alone now, won't you?" She also had a smile...

@@andreaskarlsson5251 true, if someone apologies, I could accept being polite and somewhat friendly (as you are with your former bully). It would depend if they apologize in the first place, which isn't the case in this video, and whether or not the apology is sincere. In this video, it sounds more like the former bully wants to be friends with a star and doesn't realize what she's done to her. It happens quite a bit with people who have toxic personalities. They normally apologize for the wrong reasons, if you even get an apology at all. I would still be careful around someone who bullied me for a while, then apologized. They might just want to make themselves look like the good guy in the situation, thinking that saying 'I'm sorry' is sufficient to make everything right. It's not always the case, since some really do come around and change their behaviour. That is what matters most.

I don't know what he'd be thinking ... that he's more mature and a better person now? The thing is, those were very formative years for me, and although I've forgiven those people for my own sanity, they collectively fucked up my psyche pretty good and it took a long time for me to recover. But forgiven as they may be, they're not coming back into my life. Forgiving is not forgetting.

I was bullied in middle and early high school, physically for the most part, because I was very very small for my age and im a guy. While I was able to keep myself from ever getting hurt since I knew how to fight, I was never able to get it to stop or to hurt the people doing it. Then I grew from 4’10 to 6’2 in high school. Things stopped rather quickly as the bullies realized that they were now the ones who would loose the fights they picked with me. I consider myself lucky for being able to get complete closure while still in school, and not having to carry around the feelings of being a victim into my adult life.

I had a persistent bully from 3rd grade until my junior year of high school when I called her out on her threats. No violence ever occurred, but from that point on, she only made snide comments occasionally and pretty much left me alone. Many years later she came to me in person to apology for her treatment of me. Found out she had a pretty unhappy home life, which she did not use as excuse, but genuinely felt sorry for all that happened. We didn’t become friends, but I did accept her apology and thanked her for it. I have always taught my children and now grandchildren to stand up for themselves. I’ve told them my story, and always did my best to give them the self confidence to know they are not what anyone else says they are.

When I was in school, I was physically bullied by this girl in physical education. PE was a nightmare and a half with this girl. She was absolutely terrible to me, would beat me up for no reason and I always seemed to get in trouble with the coach, who of course never saw what this girl was doing. Fast forward about ten years. I had studied abroad, met my soon to be husband and had just returned to Texas from a two week trip to Europe. In other words, I was riding on top of the world and as luck would have, I had been invited to attend an informal five year class reunion. This girl was there and came up to me wanting to get the dirt about what I was up to. I gladly milked it for all it was worth. At the end of the encounter with her, she looked me squarely in the eyes and said 'Wow, I wish I was you!'. Instead of responding in a snarky manner (which I was seriously tempted), I politely excused myself, went into the ladies room, locked myself in a stall and began to laugh like a hysterical ninny. It was the best revenge I could have imagined, and I wasn't even trying to get revenge, it just happened.

I was bullied in HS by the POPULAR (aka MEAN) girls. Then, I got a scholarship to college and a adjunct lectureship in Grad School, followed by the highest entry level IT engineering starting salary ever offered in NYC to that date. I never went back to the HS reunions but I did laugh all the way to the bank every time I got an invite. Plus, I "blossomed" at 18 and stayed "hot" well into my 50's. Guess who is still laughing....

OMG, I got one of those “newsletter” type emails from one of my bullies. It was about 15-20 years after our high school days. It was disturbing. And she was a disturbing person way back back when, and I can’t imagine she had changed, so I didn’t allow any notable reconnection and happily, I haven’t heard from her since.

Another 45 year old here, same situation. If they reached out to me in order to apologize, I would accept their apology and forgive them - though I still wouldn't be interested in hanging out with them. But that is still a purely hypothetical scenario. I remember back when I was 15-16 years old, one of my bullies - who had bullied me since Kindergarten - was killed in a car crash. I rejoiced. But then my parents forced me to attend his funeral, even though they knew I absolutely hated the guy. But I had to go, because I _knew_ him. It still pisses me off to think about it.

The beautiful thing about this episode is that she shows how you can move on from a childhood of getting bullied. Been there as well (I was bullied), and none of my bullies ever came to me to apoligise about what they put me through. But at the same time, thats okay. We've all grown up, matured and started our own life. Nothing good will come from dwelling in the past.

The fact that she didn’t apologize to Sarah, and tried to be friendly like it never happened, is a huge sign that she regrets nothing. As a former bully myself, I would do anything to contact the kids I went to school with. I was an angry 11-year-old being raised in an abusive household, and I don’t know why, but I took it all out on this one boy in particular. I was never a violent kid before or after that, it was an anomaly, and it’s one of my biggest regrets. If I had the chance to talk to him, I’d be grovelling like hell, not using it as an opportunity to weirdly flex my achievements.

I was bullied by four girls in sixth grade. Two of the girls were immediately genuinely remorseful when confronted and went on to be pretty friendly throughout the rest of school. Two girls were not really but said the right words. Years later in high school one of those two still blamed ME for her getting in trouble and would make passive aggressive remarks. I pittied her but really stayed away when possible; I had no time for that negativity. The fourth, who I considered the ring leader, never really gave me the time of day which was fine by me. I still held that grudge until in college and I thought I let it go when we shared a class and she seemed nicer and more mature. Then the next year she was diagnosed with cancer. That’s when I actually forgave her and finally felt like I’d let go of the hard feelings from so many years ago against any of them.
