Do you think people remember?

At my high school, we never had those problems, I guess it was because all girls and 98% of girls were boarded at school. In my elementary school, I wasnt popular kids, or picked up. I was in middle, I didnt want anything to do with being popular or being picked at. But I do remember thoes kids who got picked up and who used to pick on the kids, I remember them. Most of them probably dont even remember about picking on others if there were popular.

Yes, I think those kids probley still think about it. I think people should be ashamed to pick on others for something they have no control over. I have watched talk shows and saw how the people that got picked on have turned to violence or have become withdrawn. I hope people will change and stop doing such mean things.

Yes. I think the anger those kids have effects them negatively in adulthood. I wasn't picked on in HS but wasn't happy in HS either. I still don't talk to anyone that I went to HS with and would rather forget I even had to go through it. HS is suppsoe to be an adjusting period but not one where people pick on you and are mean to you. That scars you for life.

It might depend on the person and the kind of abuse and the extent it went to, but yes I believe it can affect some for the rest of their lives. acceptance can be a powerfull thing.

i was one of the most naughty boy of the class,recently at areunion i met one of my victims,it was a girl on whome i bossed around,she was my bench mate i remember taking fee from her to sit beside me as she was short and needed to sit in 1st bench to see.i mellowded down with time but she still holds a grudge,man can u belief she said that people like me are responsible for giving a reason to win....she is a journalist now,mind you a top one in my state.

These are ones formative years, any negative input will have a lasting effect.These picked on persons grow up and become introverts, or on the down side they become monsters... a lucky few turn out to be assets to the common world ..... but they never forget their school days.

Helps to seperate out the weak from the strong.
