no. perhaps if they showed remorse; but probably not- i'd still despise anyone who had behaved in such a cruel manner....

i had 5 years of severe bullying from my best friends; luckily i had the choice to stay on at school to do my a' levles or go to a 6th form college to do it. i left, and thankfully met some really nice friends, who thought i was really cool, and loved books, music, vintage clothes too.
i left school in 1989, but all this tmie later, i have still deep scars from what happened to me there.
nightmares stiopped a few years ago but i did go on a fitness and martial arts obsession so that i would be able to smash them (presumably in my dreams, as i live 250 mioles away frmo them all now).
the best things was that most of them came to the same 6th form and went from being the cool kids in school to the nobodies at 6th form, where as i was the opposite. they really hated it. all the cute boys they were in love with went after me- it was ace!!

but it was pretty much torture for 5 years, and i was suicidal a lot then. i will remember it always.

I'm uncomfortable with he idea or meeting up with anyone from my school days let alone the bullies. Basically anything before 23 is irrelevant to me, I don't want to know about it. Fortunately having anterograde amnesia due to cognative problems helps,even if that is the only real benefit.

Most of the people who bullied me were self-destructive anyways; Ended up in jail, on the streets, into drugs/alchohol heavy, etc.

Some of them came to realize the consequences of their actions; One of them is now an active member of a youth religious group, and is no logner a bully. A few have just grown up, and don't act that way anymore. One guy who used to pick on me something fierce when I was younger, is now actually a close friend of mine. I don't hold hard feelings; He feels worse about it than I do. He's a sincere guy, honest, intelligent, humorous. He just didn't understand when he was young and foolish.

Sometimes, people still get it into their head to poke fun at me maliciously. I then retort with a cutting jibe, and they either blush, swear, or laugh it off and stop being an ass.

as a matter of fact yes!

Met this girl who used to pick on me in 4th grade at the flea market one day.
She's attractive, intelligent, funny, and nice. She's had a lot of bad experiences though which kind of changed her perspective on things. It's good to know that people change. I think she's single... :D
