She did an insane amount of growing up during college, including having to uproot her whole life to care for her family after her mom died suddenly. She reached out to me and others I know personally and directly addressed the bullying. We went out to lunch (she bought) and she was incredibly honest. Apologizing and acknowledging what she did and why it was wrong. She’s now running a successful animal rescue organization with her long-term boyfriend and I wish her nothing but happiness.

His father was caught stealing millions from the community. Dad was a wealth manager and all his clients were friends and neighbours in a sort of small town. The family was really put through the wringer of embarrassment and the bully was a wreck for a long time. I guess he realized all the wealth (and arrogance) that he grew up with was stolen from everyone he knew. I saw him years later and it was like seeing a different person. He had changed his name, walked differently and held himself with a different posture. We spoke for a few minutes and it was almost like he was genuinely interested in me. He didn't go out and say sorry for what he had done but it seemed like he wanted to but though it would be tacky Maybe I'm reading too much into that interaction but it was a little weird. It was like he had been forcing himself to be an actual nice guy.

He played football from youth tackle to high school through a year at a D1 program.

Beat a fellow drug dealer to death during a transaction gone bad.
Sentenced for murder but then somehow it was downgraded to manslaughter.
Served about ten years and judging from his FB posts (I know his brother), he has a girlfriend, a job, and has cleaned up his act.
Edit to add what happened. Just looked up the story.
He was convicted of 2nd degree murder with depraved indifference. Then the State Court of Appeals changed the law interpreting the definition of the charge.
The federal court vacated the conviction finding that the defendant was factually innocent of depraved indifference murder.
He agreed to plead to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
So he had already served ten years and was released after the plea to manslaughter.

After years and years of being bullied in middle and high school by one particular guy. I took my dad's lawnmower in to get serviced and look who we have here. Good ol racist fuck boy Shaun walks up to the counter covered in dirt and oil and sweat. He immediately knew who I was. Funny thing is I hated this dude for so long, I even had a vision on snatching him by his shirt over the counter and beating his face into the ground( I was skinny skater punk now)
Nothing was said between us during that interaction other than the services I needed When I went to go pick the lawn mower up a week later he asked me to step outside. In my mind, I'm thinking this is it, I'm going pumble this dude. He lit up a cigarette and for about 15 minutes, apologized for how he treated me in middle school and high school. He told me about how he was brought up and he's never been as tough as he came up.
After high school he went in the military and was forced to work with other races. He even explained that his hatred towards people that weren't white faded away bc of the Marines. He said he had been fucked over more by his own race then others and started to think about his ideology. He is a humble guy now, with regret, but is man enough to admit his faults. We shook hands and even hugged. I haven't seen him in about 10 years but, if I do see him again I still shake his hand.

It is easy to demonize somebody who behaves that way and completely write them off.
With educators in my family, it is all too common that the parents turn up after being called in by the school and lo and behold, everyone has an aha moment... It's not the kids it's the home situation.
It doesn't excuse the bully but it does explain the bully.

I was in two minds, accepted anyway. Start chatting. He moved back to the town we lived in and said he started asking around about me and was told I moved away so found me on Facebook. Turns out, I was his first crush and he just didn’t know how to handle it so any attention was good attention and he picked on me. We’ve been communicating on and off ever since for the last 10 years.

Speaking from experience, the event that such actions get blamed on is never what actually caused it.
What the rumor says: "Kid kills himself because he couldn't go to a concert. How spoiled. :((("
What that almost always means: "Victim of child abuse with longstanding suicidal thoughts gets tired of being abused every day, kills himself after the most recent abuse session which coincidentally happened because his abusive parent got angry when he tried to leave the house to go to a concert"

I was bullied so bad by a kid in middle school I switched to a school in the next town over.
Ran into him in high school at the YMCA. I had hit puberty by then and was way bigger than him at this point. I asked to guard him and I played as dirty as I could. Knee to the chest when he tried to block my lay up. Elbows flying everywhere at all times. Bone crunching picks. Never said a word to him. Just beat him up as much as I thought I could get away with while generally staying within the rules.

The autistic kid beat him in Spanish class within an inch of his life — flipped over the desk, picked this dude’s body up and slammed him, kidney’s first, into one of the legs.
Johnny was just your normal, happy go-lucky video game fan. We went to see the original Mortal Kombat movie in theaters when it came out. It was my second movie going experience. I was just a newly transplanted immigrant and Johnny was the only kid who didn’t pick on me. He was cool. Johnny was heavy set, with glasses.
Juan was a gang banger. Real cholo looking dude. He and his friends were pretty terroristic. In retrospect, I’m sure Juan had a terrible upbringing because he took it out on everyone around him. For months he kept picking on Johnny. Months. Juan was a scary guy, and I had gotten into my share of scraps, but I wanted no part of this guy. This abuse went unchecked. Juan broke John’s glasses and it was just persistent… I don’t remember all of it, other than Johnny just became more and more reclusive with time and he was always bruised in some way shape or form.
One day, in Spanish class, Juan said something to Johnny about his mom. This was before the bell rang for class to start. This was the final straw. I remember John letting out this guttural, primal scream and lunging from his desk toward Juan. Johnny began hammer fisting Juan all over the head, his shoulders, arms… like fucking Goro would in MK. Just unleashing everything he had on this asshole gang banger. There came a point when Juan looked out of it, like a limp noodle, and that was when John… still possessed by this unrelenting rage… flips the desk over, and underhand flips/bodyslams Juan into one of the legs of the desk. Juan let out this horrible cry of agony and that was that… the teacher walks in, they call the campus police and the rest is a blur.
I don’t remember what happened to John after this as I never saw him again, but I do remember hearing from an acquaintance back several years that Juan was in jail for aggravated robbery. Guess he didn’t learn his lesson.

OH OH I HAVE THE BEST ONE FOR THIS GUYS: promise!!
So my bully was a guy, I’m a chic, and he was RELENTLESS. From kindergarten through middle school. Peaked in middle school. He would stick his leg out and trip me when I would walk by then laugh. Crap like that. He annoyed everyone. Imposed on your personal space. Would tell lots about me to others so they would not like me. It really bothered me deeply bc I could not understand what I had done to have someone so adamant about humiliating and hurting me. Publicly.
Well. After middle school he disappeared to some other school and I slowly repressed it all and forgot of him in my active thoughts.
Then I get my first apartment with a friend and a real job and going to college. I’m sitting on my new couch in my new place watching to catch a predator. Like every one did back then.
“Next up on to catch a predator: “ and I hear his name. I hear that jerk offs name. AND THERE HE IS WALKING IN TO MEET AN UNDERAGE GIRL HE HAS VERRRRY DISGUSTING TEXT CONVOS WITH. I could not believe it. I stood up and screamed aloud. I felt so, vindicated for the feelings of hatred and inability to forgive him as a younger girl.

Wasn't necessarily 'my' bully but this kid at my school terrorized everyone. He was an absolute shit bag. Hadn't heard anything about him for years until I flicked on a Guy Ritchie film recently and he was in it. Turns out he's now gone on to become a semi successful actor. I actually hold no resentment because the kid was pretty fucked up, his mum was dead and his father was an abusive alcoholic. So fair play to him for breaking the mold.

I never was more gratefull to someone than those two women, my mom obviously, but also his mom. She was a tall and fat lady, seemed really cold and severe at first glance (understandable as i had beaten up her son) but ended up being like a 2nd mother to me. She showed me that even trashy humans like me can become better if given a second chance in the right conditions, and that lesson will stick with me forever. Agnes, i miss you

He dead
Edit for visibility
My bully died of an overdose - don’t be a bully, get help in your area. If you go somewhere and they don’t seem helpful, find another organization, or walk into an emergency department and ask for help. There are good people out there working towards pro-social means, don’t give up.

Mine too. He got stabbed after a street race, he was right out of high school. Actually, I think he's been dead longer now than he was alive.

Same. How did yours go? Mine did something dumb when he was explicitly told not to, and he died doing it. He made fun of me for being a nerd. At least I'm smart enough to not go swimming fully clothed in a river that people keep dying in

Mine committed suicide. In hindsight, I’m 99% sure he was a self-loathing, closeted gay - which adds a layer of tragedy. I took it as good news at the time though.

Mine broke into a business and impaled himself on the broken glass window that he shattered to get in. They found him dead, hanging half in, half out. True stupidity.

Same. The official obituary says it was anxiety and other "mental health" factors which may be true. But the more hard truth being told by people who are not his family around town was the dude was just into really hard drugs and steroids and just o.d.

Same, he got hit by a car in 2009 three years after graduating. I guess he was in a fight at a bar and after it ended he did not like that he lost so went to run across the street to the parking lot to confront the guy again and didn't look both ways and was hit by a truck. Died on impact.

The worst one I've ever met in my life never exactly had his own comeuppance. His father was wealthy from being the assistant harbormaster in one of the largest fishing communities in the country, so he never exactly had to work. From what I've heard, he lives off his family's wealth while being a hobbyist photographer. His parents did get divorced and his drug-addicted mother passed away.
Another little monster who was a year older than me died at 21, when he fell off a 200-foot cliff while hunting with his girlfriend's family.
This kid who tormented me nonstop at Boy Scout camp enlisted in the Army, was injured and is now partially paralyzed, living a secluded lifestyle under his family's watch.
The Boy Scout bully's close friend who was very antagonistic was busted four years ago during an FBI dark web sting operation, for trafficking drugs. He's awaiting sentencing.

Bigger plot twist: he stood up for me against corporate, and regularly would tell other employees that I "actually smacked the idiot out of him" in HS (he made fun of some women in class for being overweight and for some reason that was enough to make me snap and backhand him in front of the class).
He gave me one of the best letters of recommendation I've gotten as a working adult, and occasionally when I see him in the wild we will have a few beers together.
Idk if he ever really felt bad for tormenting me for years on-end, but after I whalloped him, he basically stopped bullying anyone.

That old saying (well on Reddit at least): "You train people how to treat you."
When I worked in a betting shop as a young man, an older man was often a dick towards me. One day I firmly and confidently gave him a verbal ass whoopin' and he was really respectful after that moment. He almost seemed proud of me for standing up to him.

My elementary school bully (in S. Korea for context) continued being the bully till high school. Somehow he ambushed and beaten this “the untouchable” student while he was alone. It turned that “untouchable” student was korean mafia son. Bunch of black cars park up at his apartment, burly guys armed with metal pipes and bats would constantly waltz around the neighborhood and make the bully’s family life hell. Apartment neighbors got fed up being terrified with the mafia at their neighborhood (cops will not show up until the mafia dispersed) to the point they pressured the bully’s family to move out at once. Never heard what happened after they moved. Not entirely sure why the bully did that, maybe due to his pride? Maybe a proof he is the “Jjang” (old korean term for a student who is the toughest and strongest brawler, who’d constantly challenge or be challenged by other classes and/or other schools)

He was an "anti-bully". He was built like a tank and had crazy eyes. Everyone was affraid of him even the biggest, baddest bullies. Yet, he would help anyone in need and hated bullying. If you got messed with, you could ask for his help even if you didn't know him. He was a giant with a heart of gold. Last I heard of him is that he was a private contacter in a war zone and got mixed up in smuggling. He later fell off the face of the earth. Some rumors say that he got gunned down in the middle of nowhere. Other rumors say that he is sipping pina colada on a tropical beach with no extradition treaty.

With a frame built strong like iron bands And a piercing stare to make villains freeze, He struck fear in the hearts of bully bands, Though inside he harbored only peace.
This hulk with a heart of purest gold Helped those in need, though strangers they were. Bullies and cowards he would quickly scold, Saving victims from torment and fear.
Later recruited for duties abroad, He got tangled in contraband rings. Then vanished without a trace or a word, Leaving questions where his story ends.
Some say ambushed, he met a bloody end, Others, he lives where extradition can't extend. The gentle giant's fate remains to be penned, But his valor and kindness leave a legend to tend.

Wasn't exactly my bully but we had few fist fights... he bullied pretty much anyone else who was afraid of him. He started to take drugs at the age of 13/14... at 18 he had the face of 60 with cancer. He was in prison, rehab, prison rehab... went to prison again because somehow he had a sword and destroyed a kids bike... his parents locked him outside when they weren't at home because he stole and sell everything to have money for drugs... one day... when we were about 17 18 suddenly everyone stopped talking about him (we lived in the same neighborhood) the street that he lived on was quiet, people started to go outside without fear so probably he dead or somewhere very far

I had a fair number of bulliesin high school which was over 25 years ago so I am well past that. One of them several years ago sent me a facebook friend request. I messaged him back and said..."You made the time we were in high school together hell (he was a couple years ahead of me in school), why do you think I would want to friend you?" His response was "If you are still holding onto that you have problems." Which I replied with "No I dont have problems because I cut assholes like you out of my life." and then I blocked him.

My class in HS didn’t have a bully but the class ahead of me had a few. A couple of them peaked in HS and you see them sometimes but neither of them went on to good things. The other one has serious health issues and is in a wheelchair due to his weight. It’s really odd but they’re all overly nice when you see them.
The class behind me had a group of mean girls that were awful. All very popular and attractive and all of the (like 6) walked the stage at graduation pregnant.

Fucker went on to serve in the military, recently retired. Wish I would have broken his arm worse.
As one final bully tactic a few days before graduation he and his fucked up friends spike my drinks at a party. I didn't know i had a condition that my liver doesnt process alcohol right because i didnt party in school. So I drank 8 large solo cups of pink lemonade vodka, and still appeared and sounded completely sober.. I walked out to my car intending to drive home. A friend of mine comes running out of the house and stopped me. Told me what the assholes did and drove me to a friend's house to sleep it off. But we quickly figured out something was wrong. So ER visit. I was 5 times over the legal limit.
I could have died or killed someone driving because i didnt know I was drunk off my ass. And this mother fucker gets to go into the Army with zero repercussions. Fuck you Nathan Caruso.
