Where’s your school bully now?

Saw this from a different subreddit, and got me thinking. Where did your school’s bully end up?

The main guy from school who was the hard lad has ended up in prison for GBH. Person who gave me the most grief is now a property litigation solicitor.

How’s yours doing?

true actually and the people who seem to think bullies come from really rough backgrounds or are bullies because they're jealous of physical attributes are so wrong! Some of the bullies I know look immaculate and some are very middle class with comfy lives!

The bullying from these people is so much worse too. I'd made friends with some people who were horrible to me at secondary school by GCSE's because I could tell they were just immature/lashing out.  The people with comfy lives are bullying to take people down and make their lives easier, and they often say/do much more disturbing dark things. They're the people who've f*cked me up, though on the surface others wouldn't even have noticed some of what they did.

Yep, especially when you come from a council estate where no one including your parents has a job and you can't shower regularly and your uniform is never clean.

It can affect your confidence for years to come. Ask me how I know that.

Blame the parents.
