Does the fact that I used to be a bully in school

Put you off being my friend? Honestly? I think it does for a lot of people. It’s hard to face up to but I’d like to know.

I don't make friends with bullies, but at least you are honest enough to admit it. Now, perhaps you'd like to tell us why you were a bully in school.

I really haven’t thought too deeply about it to be honest, I think I have spent a long time not wanting to really face up to it, trying to convince myself that I wasn’t that bad or that it was other people around me. But the truth is that if other people were bullies, then it was because I was the ringleader.
I had always taken a lot of pride in how I looked/what I wore and when I started secondary school (high school) some other boys kinda started to say bad stuff to me or laugh at me about it. Unfortunately I decided to pick on and bully people who were weaker than me as it made me feel powerful/superior and I noticed that I got respect from everyone.
I’m not a bully anymore, please don’t hate me. @MaryDreamilton

@Strongtea Being as you say you're not a bully any more, I won't hate you so far. But do remember that where I come from we not only hate bullies, we also enjoy giving them a rather large dose of their own medicine. No bully gets respect from anyone here. I remember a while ago there was one bully who was beaten up so badly by a couple of his victims that he remained in a coma for 84 days. And he was one of the lucky ones.

Ok. One of the people I bullied, did stand up against means made me look pretty silly, which I hate. This is why I’m not a bully anymore. @MaryDreamilton

@Strongtea I love to see victims standing up to bullies.
