A Woman Stood Up The Man Who Bullied Her At School With This Incredible Note

[LWolf]

193. Good lord.

Only at DU.

Where some bullies, and some kinds of bullying, are attacked while others are supported...

Where people get angry about the idea that "she asked for it," but are not supportive of a woman who stands up to a bully and calls him on his behavior.

Too many years ago? Is there someone here who thinks teenage bullying is not remembered, does not follow the victim, and has no effect further down the line?

We want our young people to be able to stand up to bullies in the moment; the reality is that they don't often have the skill set or support to do so. If they figure it out somewhere down the line, that's a good thing. Calling a bully on his behavior is not bullying. It's what should happen each and every time.

I'm glad to see that this young man has grown enough to offer a sincere apology when confronted with his own behavior. I hope, if he has children of his own, he'll teach them to treat people well from the very beginning.
