So come on guys, let us all share this experience we had as part of our school days..
Back in the days, were you bullied, or have you ever bullied someone?
If you were the later, did you regret ever making someone's life miserable, and have you had a chance to say sorry to the person whom you have hurt back in highschool or in elementary?
If you were the bullied one, did you ever meet that person who bullied you again after you all graduated, and did you ever wished that person to have bad things happen to them.. have you forgiven them already?

In the past although I was taller, but I was often bullied by others. Perhaps I was so kind. I didn't know how to fight back. I had to accept it. Today it seems to be stupid, but it was me in the school. The size is not a problem not to be bullied. It depends on the personality.
I love China

My only experiences with bullies were in grade school. I was bullied by a girl who was all but Little Miss Perfect to everyone else - even awarded spotlight on students and given almost every other award, reward, and privilege the school had to offer - and was even nice to the other kids, but the most malignant and manipulative twit you ever met towards me. I think it was because she found out that I have OCD and some social awkwardness, and thought it was fun to deliberately do some of the things that she knew made me insecure and distressed and get a reaction out of me. She got away with every bit of it. Paradoxically, she was not the most talented or brightest student either... however, she was by far the most obedient kid I've ever seen. The obedience was all she had going for her. Why she was labeled "gifted" when she had none of the traits for it is totally beyond me.
I was not bullied very much in middle school or high school. I think this is because I matured into a more reserved and socially cautious individual, so I didn't interact with people very much, which made it so that other people didn't have much of a reason to take interest in me, be it in a positive or negative way.
I was singled out on occasion, mostly by some obnoxious boys in my class, but I was never very bothered by it because I had seen them torment other people as well. Sometimes they would tease me about some of my little quirks like laughing at odd things or about my crush on an actor that I liked at the time... petty little things like that. Nobody tried to play off of my insecurities like the girl in grade school did, so I am grateful for that.
I was never the bully myself that I can remember. I did have some social issues that may have made me come off as "weird" and arrogant at times, but I never intended to strike a discord with anyone (unless they were mean to me first, that is - but that was only when I was younger).
I have not seen the girl who bullied me in grade school since the fifth grade. Yes, I have wished harm to her. Horrible as it is to think, part of me would probably feel somewhat delighted if I heard something awful happened to her. As you can see, I've not forgiven her, and it's hard to say if I ever will.

No I did not experience being bullied in school. Though I studied in public schools from elementary to college, I was lucky enough to be with friends and classmates who were studious and fun-loving. There was just one time when I was a freshman in college that someone invited me to join a sorority but I politely declined.

Yes, I have been bullied. I was so quiet and timid back when I was in gradeschool that people, specifically one bully, take advantage on me. She bullies me and one time we got into a fight inside the classroom, without the teacher noticing, because she was busy checking some papers.And now, the bully happened to be the daughter of my father's current bestfriend. Crazy..
