The best revenge u can have against anybody that bullied u is success.

I will give u a prime example I dated this girl in high school who thought she was so much better then everybody she broke up with me to date a drug dealer , eventually she had a baby by him . That was 25 years ago now fast forward that dude went to prison for life their son is in a gang doing nothing with his life , and she came to my job where I was a supervisor at a marketing company looking for work . Who do u think was picked to do her Interview ? Me lol now was I biased to what she did to me absolutely not I'm grown I would have hired her is she was qualified but she was not so I did not . She thought I turned her down for the job because of the past, not at all , however it did feel good watching her walk out of that office without what she wanted . U must be careful how u treat people she learned that lesson that day lol

I’m disabled and was bullied in school. (Physically pushed) I busted my meniscus. When it was time for my ten year reunion, the place wasn’t handicap accessible and the guys my friend got to carry me up and down were my former bullies. It was awkward AF so when I was leaving for the night and they carried me down, I just said ‘so this is a full circle Moment’ and they said ‘yeah!’ And laughed. I left it there.

This made me cry with satisfaction. I was bullied because of my interests. I started reading at three, and never stopped. In school, I skipped several grades and was bullied for I do not even know. I had to run home, which helped me in track. I had to hide, which led me to hang out in several advanced classes teacher's classrooms, which helped me graduate at 16 years old. Those bullies killed my childhood. They are all on public assistance, drug addicts or deceased. I feel sorry for their souls. May our ancestors forgive them, as I still work towards forgiveness even after 46 years. I ask my ancestors daily to help that 9 year old me as she grew up to forgive them one day.

You know who else is from Newark? Queen Latifah, imagine bullying kids trying to aim high when living in a place like Newark, people try tearing others down without realizing the potential they all have. I lived in Newark, Elizabeth, and Hillside and no one out there should be trying to hate on anyone trying to get out. Edit: little story about Queen Latifah, she is an incredibly nice person and doesn't forget her roots, my father was at an auto shop I believe and had seen Queen Latifah and this old man recognized her as the little girl who grew up in the neighborhood and asked what she was up to now, she called him Mr. so and so and told him she was just doing some acting or movies or something honestly very humble. Those human moments are just invaluable and we shouldn't put famous people on pedestals, just hope they are as good a person as you'd hope anyone would be.
