If a former bully of yours got cancer, would you be happy?

Post Reply New Topic

I would be just about as happy as this proverbial pig in the mud - but before his death, I would go to him and told him what the reason for my difference was - now, I think, everybody has heard of AS. I wouldn't mind if he needed a marrow transplant and I would be the only person from whom he could get it Before I would donate it to him, I would tell him to do some things for me And the first one would be admitting online he was a bully who tormented me without any actual reason - well, when once I asked one of my bullies about it - we were 14 then - I asked "why do you bully me?" - he did give me it - "because you are not like us" (the classmates). I would be actually happy if one of my bullies did get better - but after a looong period of great suffering.

this thread is not very nice. title is offensive too.

**** the bullies .
i only meant the idea of the whole thread/replies would be so cruel if someone already suffers the disease came across the thread.

Bullies are already sick.

I do not hate them, I pity them.

I would be shocked and sad, I don't like how they treated me but something like that would not cheer me up at all.

Yeah, wishing death on someone is something I don't really condone. If you really think someone who bullied you deserves any form of retribution, make it something very petty.

Like, wish the bully had permanent butter fingers and thus any time they tried to grab something it would just slip out of their hands. Or any time they sneeze it is always very messy and requires a tissue, but there never is one in the tissue box. Or even make it to where any vending machine they use eats their dollar.

At first, i thought i will be (not necessarily cancer, but something bad) because she made suffered a lot and i wanted her to know how badly she had broken me.

Then, during a party, i came across his twin brother, drunk and depressed. He told me that his sister was pregnant, that his boyfriend has dumped her and was hitting her, that she didn't have any job and, basically, that she was f****d. I feel bad, really bad. I mean... That's not a life. I won't wish that to anyone. So i comforted him and i tried to make him believe in a better future for his sister. Quite ironic, in fact...

Being a former bully they're no longer of any concern to me. So I would not care.

I wouldn't care.

Not my business, not my problem.

People get cancer all the time, why should I care if it happens to be someone I know who I never liked?

I wouldn't wish it upon anyone nor find happiness in it, however.

I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy.

While I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, there is some small sense of vindication that comes with saying "Sucks to be you" to a cancer-ridden former bully who used to say that to me after he and his friends would beat me up and leave me bruised and bloody.

The only bully that I ever felt sorry for in this respect was a woman who died in her early 30s of cervical cancer. She was one of those "mean girls" from high school who seemed to take great delight in putting people down. She was in a lot of pain that even morphine could barely touch, and she wasted away so badly from the disease that the family chose a closed-casket funeral for her. They used her high-school graduation photo during the service.

Yeah, it was a sad occassion.

I think my answer would depend on the scope of my bully's misdeeds. If s/he just pushed me around and called me names, I would not be happy to learn the news; that kind of behavior deserves punishment of some kind, but not something so tragic as facilitated death. On the other hand, if the bully in question mutilated me, my friend, my family member, or pet in some irreparable way, or tried or hoped to kill me, I'd be slightly less depressed about the news.

Would not care in most cases. But it would depend on what I knew about how they are today. If they matured and are a good person today I would be sad. If they were bad I would feel what I felt when I learned of Suzanne Wright's cancer mixed emotions.

It is not my intention to hate anyone...

but relationships of hate is often the ones I have, no one may view me as a friend but I wish most of the people I have met well.

No, I wouldn't be happy. Even if they were mean to me, and made fun of me, that was in the past, when we were both younger and more immature. No one deserves to die that way, I consider dying of cancer to be one of the worst possible deaths, and I hope I die in any way other than that.
