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

[Augustus]

235. This is nothing to cheer. In fact it is incredibly obnoxious

At 22 years of age, this woman has clearly not yet matured enough to learn how to properly forgive and forget the past indiscretions of people from her childhood. Her actions here are incredibly obnoxious and immature, and there are no excuses for them. She was bullied as a child by another child.

Say what you will about the very real emotional scars left by childhood bullying. The proper healing process for those scars is not to become the bully as an adult in an incredibly misguided attempt at "revenge". In fact, this is the worst kind of thing for her to do, as it only reinforces her insecurities which have clearly not abated after all these years, and is counter productive to the healing process from the abuse she faced from this man when he, himself, was a child.

What she should have done is to politely remind this man, upon his asking her out, that she remembers the abuse he inflicted on her as a child and that it would probably be inappropriate for her to accept his request, and to give him the chance to make a sincere apology for his past behavior. That is the adult thing to do.

What she did here was childish, hurtful, and wrong.
