Poll: Do you want an apology?

[FreakofNatur]

Sometimes replies are dramatized to achieve an effect. Maybe some people still think that everything must be accounted for, no matter how long it's been. That said, if something bothers you so long after you've done it, why'd you commit the mistake in the first place? Ignorance? Come off it. You're knowingly abusing another human being. You have issues and you're going to deal with them sooner or later and I hope sooner for the sake of everyone.

We have to recognize the fact that popular media is more patronizing than they want us to think. Reality TV? The ultimate form of pandering to the audience. We all have some tastes in voyeurism due to our inherent curiosities and well, it's just a fact; people want to know and people want justice, or at least their own definition of it.

This is how it affected me. I get bullied at school -> started failing in the classes that had my bullies in them -> Which caused a lot of trouble at home that consistent of being called a dumbass, retard, and will amount to nothing. -> Which lowered my self-esteem. Rinse wash and repeat for 8 long years. This all starting at age six.

I wasn't really bulled much. I do admit there were a few times in elementary school I was picked on by this one guy. He would throw my papers and binder across the room while everyone else just laughed, thankfully that didn't last long. I think it was because I use to be the shy girl who didn't have many friends so I was an easy target. I know it sounds strange, but I'm not sure I would want an apology. I think it would make me a little happy if he meant it, but overall it wouldn't change much.

You know, after reading some of these posts, I have to pose a valid question here: does a bit of high school bullying really warrant death? I see people throwing around the terms "karma" and "justice" towards bullies who have died. That just seems fucked up to me, that high school bullying should be met with death. I understand you're pissed off, and they hurt you, but let's be fucking reasonable here.

Christ, a lot of these posts just sound downright sadistic to me.

I do not allow people to ''bully'' me or other good people

At the minute, I'd prefer an apology off someone for lying to me and telling me he loved me when he never did.

Yeaaah. Not gonna happen XD

No, I punched him in the face, that was the end of that. I get violent when I am pushed.

We were somewhat tense after that until... Well forever, and after we left school we never spoke. Can't say he crosses my mind unless topics like this come up, since it's the only incident of bullying I can really think of by someone I would deem equal. (The rest are usually those idiot aggressive types, you know the ones, who fail at school and have a shitty life after. I'd say that's karma enough knowing they ended up in shit street.)

I think I'd much rather see them die/suffer.

If an apology would actually help and could happen it would be required of nearly 100 classmates. I was that kid with the dog, minus the dog if you get my meaning. I sat with the kids in detention for lunches simply because they weren't allowed to speak and the school staff understood this so let me be. It wasn't until I took my frustrations out on an adult, physically and painfully, in front of my classmates, that the torment actually stopped. An apology would be nice but it would be utterly meaningless at this point.

The one and only time I got bullied was for one day in year 7. During lunchtime I had my brother from a few years above me take care of em Never had any problems after that so I don't need an apology.
