Did you ever confront them?
Did they bully their way into success ?
Did they peak when they were a bully?
Did karma catch up to them?

How would I know? I have no connection or way of keeping track, now would I want to.
But I do know remember his name.
NO idea. Haven’t seen or heard of since i left school.
Fine I guess, she moved to Florida after being widowed and selling hr husband’s business for bank
I don’t know how she is, but her husband went to prison for bank fraud.
Mine grew up and became a better person and is married with kids now seems to be doing good
He’s doing 25-to-life in prison for shooting and killing a tow truck driver who was in the process of repossessing his truck.
No idea.
I was always the smallest boy in class, and I moved a lot, so I got used to putting down bullies.
No, I’m not the strongest or the toughest or whatever, but I learned early that raw ferocity goes a long way. They all learned to look elsewhere.
I don’t know where they are or how they’re doing, nor do I care.
Who cares. Probably drug addicted or a zillionaire. I really don’t have any idea or think about it at all
Dead
Mine is happily married but she put on a lot of weight and has that puffy alcohol bloat in her face, so I figure it’s a draw.
Still horrible
Who would keep tabs on this asshole???
Couldn’t tell you his name so I couldn’t even tell you. But also, I don’t care.
Elementary school bully is in Asheville NC, a nurse manager for a healthcare insurance company. Damn older sister!!!! LOL
The wannabe high school school bully is in VT, running a boutique hotel he and his husband own. He’s turned into a great guy.
I don’t know how he’s doing. I do know he became a prison guard, though.
Probably dead. Who cares?
I wouldn’t say we had a bully, at least that I can remember. But the bad kid is now a pre-school teacher. (In review, he probably was theeeee bully to a lot of kids).
He got into a fight with a cop on a DUI. Cop rang his bell pretty good. After he got out of jail the next day, he cleaned his life up, went to community college and got an associates degree in child development.
People who knew him growing up are shocked.
Someone shot and killed him. The case was never solved. So I guess you can say karma caught up to him.
He was at the 25th high school reunion I attended. He was morbidly obese (over 500 lbs) and in poor health so he’s probably dead by now. He greeted me like we were always best friends.
It was me. I was having some hard times in my life. I’ve been punched and strangled and kicked in the face. But I just enjoyed the retaliation and the pain of it all. I’ve hurt myself as well. I’m truly sorry. I’ve really tried to make amends and apologize to people since. I’m working on atonement. I am trying to be a better human.
At my 50th HS reunion last summer, one of my classmates who happens to be gay, confronted a bully who had been just brutal towards him in school. It was something to see. The gay classmate had gone on to many personal and professional successes, while the bully had never left the small town and had achieved nothing worth mention.
It was something to witness. At the end, the bully was in tears and left with his ashamed tail between his legs. What courage it took to confront his past! I was very proud of him and was there to support him.
Thankfully two states away, never to return.
They developed osteosarcoma in middle school and didn’t make it.
Wouldn’t know, out of sight, out of mind. Don’t even remember names.
Dead, heroin overdose.
Dead
Only heard about them in the first few years after HS. One went to state prison. One became a cop in the local police force. Tried to beat up people in traffic stops a couple of times and got let go.
Dead. I forgave him 40 years ago.
Alcoholic
I’ve had two bullies and later I became friends with both.
What can I say, it’s a special talent.
Died of cancer at 30, found out 5 years later, didn’t feel anything.
Last I heard he had gone to prison for robbing a convenience store with a shotgun.
Well, they’re a lawyer now while I’m just an insurance adjuster.
He’s a detective in the police force in my hometown. Go figure
He’s still a rich asshole from what I can tell.
She went on to do cheap porn and drugs after spending all of school since the 3rd grade gloating how she’s going to be a movie star..
Me: actually ended up acting in some movies. Not a star or celebrity by any definition, but I’m not strung out on meth filming with a crew in a white rented van behind a shady bar…
Karma, I suppose.
I neither know nor care.
Dead, for a very long time.
Dead
Mine is doing very well. She is a Principal at an Elementary School. I heard she was an incredible Teacher and is doing great things as a Principal now. I am happy for her. It’s all water under the bridge as it was over 30 years ago.
I think its so quaint the idea of having one bully in any school situation. When i was in high school, there were multiple types of people who you had to avoid in certain situations. there was some kids on the sports teams, some kids in classes, some kids in the social scene. There were so many different kinds of i wouldnt even say “bullies” but people you knew you should avoid or limit contact with.
But to answer your question, Some of them did well, some of them didn’t. I never held any kind of long term grudge to care about it too much since graduating…
Dead. I have plausible deniability as the obit says he had a terminal illness.
Dead at the hands of John Wick.
I honestly don’t know who the bully was. I don’t recall much bullying.
No idea. Hope they died in a fire.
He got a head injury in a motorcycle accident and wasn’t quite right after that. He got into drugs and has now been missing for the past five years or so. I feel bad for his family, but that guy was a dildo and I don’t feel bad for him at all.
Killed in Vietnam. He wasn’t a good guy, but nobody deserved that.
My high school bully became my best friend, at least for a period of time. I had a problem with this girl whose friend, for some reason, decided to tell her that I was messing around with her boyfriend. I never heard that and it wasn’t a rumor that was going around, so I didn’t know. I went to a very small school and everybody knew all the rumors. After a couple months there was a little accident while playing volleyball. The “bully” had a bad hit resulting in the ball smacking me in the back of the head. It didn’t really hurt very much. Well, the friend that didn’t like me started laughing as if it was purposeful.
Later the bully approached me and apologized for the ball hitting me and said she really did not do it on purpose. So then I asked her why she had such a problem with me and that’s when I heard about the boyfriend thing. Well, she was pretty angry when she heard that it was all a big lie. I guess her other friend had become kind of weird and clingy and was basically trying to keep her from having other friends. She also wanted to break up the couple.
How is she doing today? I have no earthly idea. I haven’t seen her since high school. She was a grade ahead of me and she moved into the city after her graduation. We had some good times after we worked out our differences.
He died from auto erotic asphyxiation. It was called a suicide but lotion, kleenex, Penthouse Forum magazine in the bed, and belt around his neck says differently.
I wasn’t really a target, but our school bully was hit and killed by a car in 11th grade. He wasn’t mourned.
I don’t know, and unless something horrible happened to them, I don’t care!
Elementary and HS didn’t have any.
Middle school, the school bully was picking on a mentally challenged kid until I stepped in and whipped him and his best friends ass.
Paid to have both parents being Blackbelts and being their sparing partner.
Don’t fucking know and don’t fucking care
I don’t associate with anyone from HS or grade school. They treated me like shit then, why would I want to keep track of them?
In fifth grade there was a kid who teased me mercilessly on the bus and playground and made weird phone calls to my house that I was afraid to tell my parents about. He had a sidekick who didn’t do or say much but was always there. After I moved away after 8th grade I didn’t hear about them but when I did about 10 years ago, the main guy had turned into a gentle Buddhist fellow.
On the other hand. the stand-up, humble, smart, friendly dude who everyone liked without being a Mr. Popular type ended up conspiracy theorist to the utmost and hostile.
I was never bullied, and clobbered the kid who tried being one. He became a cop, retired early, went to work for the highway department, married an older widowed supermarket cashier with an adult daughter late in life, retired again and is now a school crossing guard.
Rumor is he won some good money in the lottery, gave a lot to the PBA, bought mausoleum crypts and prepaid their funerals.
We definitely remember each other from school, never talked since I bloodied his nose, and just acknowledge one another with a nod.
No idea. I left shortly after to attend college and never went to any reunions. Haven’t thought about any of it pretty much since I left.
To each their own, but I proudly avoid contact and knowledge of everyone I went to school with.
That was then, and I have no need for them now.
One bully, last time I heard, was in court because one of her psych patients took their own life on the ward, under her watch.
She bullied me so badly at school, I wished I were dead. She was a sadist.
One is dead, and the other is in prison (last I heard). Sad. Oh, well. I can’t say I really feel terrible. I just don’t think anything about them, though.
Dead.
Died early – Karma
Have no clue. Don’t care enough to look. She bullied me from Elementary to Freshman year in high school or she tried to and somehow I became popular. I will still never figure that out. Just wanted to be left alone.
Took my order at Arby’s the last time I was in town
Don’t know. Don’t care.
Elementary School – One ied in a car crash the summer after 6th grade, the other died from Covid in 2020.
Middle School – One died in a gang shooting when he was 16, the other is a convicted sex offender.
High School – (Not really bullies, but kids i got in fights with) One died in a car crash, along with his mom and brothers, another died in a plane crash when he was 21, another is currently in prison for murder, one went in the Marines with me, got out and started slinging dope. I’ve seen his mugshot on Faces Of Meth.
One kid in middle school made my life absolute hell. To the point I had to change which high school I was going to go to as he was “waiting” for me at the high school I would have gone to. Long story, but I probably would have gone to prison because I was trying to figure out ways to make something bad happen to him. Luckily I got out of it and went elsewhere.
Decades later, someone told me he turned out the way I hoped he would. Trailer park, had multiple kids from various women who sued him for child support and took all he had. Got hooked on drugs and allegedly was killed in a bad drug deal. Can’t say I shed a tear over it.
Funny thing…my son ended up marrying his daughter. She is kind of emotionally challenged due to a pretty fucked up childhood. He’s still the same type of person. I don’t have much time for him.
One of them is serving a life sentence in prison for murdering his mother a year or two back. No lie.

I have no idea. But I bet I’m more badass than she is now
Last time I saw him was at our 20^th HS reunion. He was a BMOC back in the 60s, but 20 years later he was working the counter at his father’s chicken franchise. He wasn’t too pleased to find out the nerd he used to harass/beat up now had his own software company in Silicon Valley.
I never really had a bully, but the few people I’ve known who were just complete assholes to me for no reason seem to be living normal, decent lives.
Imagine carrying that shit with you enough to keep tabs
Mine was my older brother until I cracked his skull open in high school. I haven’t spoken to him in thirty years, so I don’t even know if he’s still alive. And I don’t care.
Apparently he’s a meth head with a going nowhere band.
It was already pretty clear back in school that their future looked kind of bleak from a job/career perspective. If anything I’m sympathetic, but I’m not sufficiently interested to bother finding out what became of them. Hopefully they at least met someone and were happy together.
Talked to him 25 years later.
Never married and still lived at home with his mom.
Got two strikes on him and is a deadbeat dad who can’t hold down a job at nearly 40.
Sorry I typed that with way too big of a smile.
I never experienced having a bully but I couldn’t wait to graduate and get the hell away from those people. Never went or had any desire to go to any reunions either.
happily married with kids and a government job earning high above average.
Dead
She is still miserable and whines about being bullied while having no awareness of how badly she treated people herself. She has no friends from high school.
She contacted me before one of our last reunions and said she wanted to come to show her bully all she’d accomplished in her life. I told her no one cares. We all talk about kids, grandchildren, and vacations, not high school and settling old scores.
We all grew up, but she’s still stuck in 1978.
Been dead for the last 40 years. Not surprisingly.
I had bullies in elementary, but my dad was Navy and we moved away from them. In middle school one older boy used to bully me (name calling) on the walk home. I ignored him. By the time I got to h.s., I guess he found better things to do and we never spoke or even made eye contact.. I didn’t notice any active bullying in h.s. people had their cliques, but no drama like the movies.
One kid who picked on me got murderrd at 23. That always brings a smile to my face.
He’s a coach at our high school…imagine that lol
Don’t know don’t care 🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good question ! I haven’t seen them in years but facebook helped !
Yes karma catched up on them, I see they are all stuck in miserable jobs and they look way older than me, while I had and still have a very successfull life.
She’s fine. She’s my sister, that’s how I know. :/
My bully is doing extremely well. He screwed & impregenated a bunch of women. Then got busted for selling drugs. Last I heard, he is in prison selling drugs to inmates.
Best part, he escaped paying alimony and child support. Even better, one of his woman still visits him in prison regularly.
While I am stuck in a deadend job paying alimony for a woman who barely touched me. I think my bully lived a better life than I did.
I’m happy to say, I never had a bully
Dead.
Died in prison of HIV/AIDS in the 80’s after stabbing someone.
