The Ugly Truth

[zombiegoat]

There's no graceful way to say it, so I won't even try.  In the fifth grade, I was a bully

That's just horrible (although, I expected Munch to be dead when I read about the abandoned house)

I have my own confession to make which you've inspired me to share, thanks.

You did a great job on yours, Jinks. Took a lot of guts to share that one.

The other side

I think everyone has guilt about something from their past and to post and share the "the ugly truth" of yours is brave to do. It shows you have grown as a person and you have learned from your mistakes. Honestly, it gives me hope that others have grown up and changed, no longer the bullies they once had been.

Thank you!

Thank you, Mandy. Hope I helped.

It takes a big person to admit when they've done something wrong. No one is perfect, and while you may feel like there's no way for you to ever get past it, it seems like you've at least partially come to terms with having done something you can't ever take back. Try not to regret yesterday--you know better now, and your story may help others realize that they, too, don't have to go along with the group think that attacking someone for being different is okay. A little karmic balance, right? ;)

Thank you for sharing this.

Even at the time I was getting the blocks put to me by Bully #2, I was thinking of it as karmic payback. As I said in the essay, I think the thing that disturbed me the most about the whole situation was how easy it was to jam that black hat on my head and be the bad guy.

Thank you for your kind words; judging from the experience you had, they could not have been easy to write.
