12. Brave OP. Thanks for admitting to your previous childish failures.

And props to you for apologizing to the person you hurt later in life. I'm glad he went to the reunion, though. Can you imagine if you never had a chance to apologize? That would've been horrible, it would still weigh on you. I'm glad you moved on from that anti-social behavior. It makes me happy. Some bullies never realize that they were being assholes when they were youths, imho. But you did so I really respect that to no ends.

I'm glad you see that Romney is "a psychopathic monster." For me, I never was a bully (though I only attended 3 years of public school, was home schooled the rest of my life), but I always, always defended people who were bullied, to the point of getting a bloody nose, and my parents paranoidly moving the entire family after the resolution (I remember once being beat up for defending someone and we moved and then I became "home schooled," it was weird). I still wish we weren't moved that time and I being subjected to public school because those kids loved me for defending the kid, and the bullies were just idiots and I still think I could've made a difference... I was really popular from beating up a 5th grader while being in the 2nd grade. It was cool. Anyway, random comment, really.
