Couple of years ago, someone from the my former elementary school class organized a 20y anniversary meeting. About half showed up. Nice bunch. They got fat, bald, etc. Me still relatively fit. Beer to 6 beers, got a word after word. And one of the girls (now prominent wife) pointed out that I was a bully victim. Bully victim from a man just down the table.
…
I was. He was larger, bigger, sitting on my face, spitting in my face, tearing up my homeworks and choking me just for the fun and so (10-14 yo’s). Although he was not the only one. Had another one, which wanted just to tell him new joke everyday I passed the bridge from school to home. He is gym teacher nowadays.
Back to the anniversary meeting. Being passive personality, I said nothing, even if all were staring at me. Then stare went going around the table concentrating on the bully… Comments issue …
“Yep”
"Yep, you were the Bully.
“You were good to me, but you were ass to him!”
“Yep”
“Yep”
“Bully, hmm, yes.”
“Yep, let’s drink to it.”
Bullies comment “Me? NO! Really?”
" Yep, yep, yes, ya, sure, you were mean to him …"
“No Really?”
Bottom point. Bullies just don’t know they are bullies. Or am I mistaken?
