Did your bullies end up better off than you did?

Post Reply New Topic

The only reason any of them seem temporarily better off is because I was raised in a really rich area....and they were the rich ones.

Also, some others are like 5-10 years older than me, and understandably are currently in higher positions of employment than I currently am.


It is what it is though; doesn't make my own personal life any better or worse....my own decisions are the concern of that.


That's why I'm trying to get my own business off the ground, and I'm already working with the crew at Disney on proposing to my girlfriend in a few years down there. I'm also already saving up for her engagement ring


What's even funnier is ever since I stopped playing a certain online game on Facebook, I barely even go there anymore; FB may not even exist 10 years from now. Regardless, because of this, I barely even communicate with a lot of people I used to know any more. Some of them I have on there I'll be inviting to my wedding some years down the road, but overall most of the stuff on FB I'm just likely to forget over time, getting so busy with business and my gal and all

In high school yes. They got more dates with the girls.

I ended up much better than my bullies yay for Melbi!! !

Well, I can't think of a single person who bullied me to any significant degree that I have seen since high school graduation, which I'm pretty glad of. The ones who were severe in their bullying ended up dropping out of high school in their senior year, so I'm sure they're not doing too well. The more 'subtle' bullies, who knows?

I live in a somewhat small town (Salisbury, MD.) so I'm kind of surprised that I haven't come across any of them, but I'm glad I haven't. I'm sure some of them may be more successful in employment and living independently. I have a college degree and am working on another one and yet I still haven't moved out of my parent's house. But I don't think about it much. Like another person said, 'it is what it is.'

Same here. I'm sure there are a lot of bullies that have done well for themselves, but then again, there are also a lot of old bullies that I keep tabs on how their lives are going through the use of online court records. More of them turned out to be drunks, stoners, addicts, petty criminals, and a few more serious criminals than I originally expected when I was in school.

When I was in 8th grade english, the teacher assigned new seats and this one guy who was a minor bully said "we have a pretty cool group except for *points at me*". A year after I graduated high school I heard that this same guy killed himself in a really darwinian accident (drunk and high on who knows what and doing an estimated speed of 100 mph around a curve posted 40mph and hit a block wall). My first thought when I heard the news was "WHO'S COOLER NOW?!?!"

I didn't really have bullies, but people that weren't nice to me or said I wouldn't end up well (wouldn't be able to handle the 'real world' is what they said) are, in my opinion, definitely not as well off as I am.
