School reunion

[Anastie]

I went to a 20 year reunion. I was also bullied at school. As oppose to being a large lad I was the tall and skinny type. Since I left school I have put on weight and muscle!
One of the best things I enjoyed about the reunion was stood at the end of the bar were 6 of the bullies. All still together. So I went up to them to say "hello" They had no idea who I was until I reminded them.

A great "picture moment".

As already said I doubt any of them would bother you now. Go or you may regret it.

You're still a teenager, you don't start putting on weight until you hit your twenties.

And back on topic.
I was continuously bullied at school for being who I am. I didn't follow the crowd, I knew too much. It makes me, me and I'm glad I stuck by it.

Good luck anyway and let us know how you get on.

Just like me then, I was always a bit "different" at school... raised by rather liberal hippy parents who actively encouraged my individuality. I liked different music to everyone else, wore different clothes etc etc... Was a skinny thing to, used to get bullied for that as well...
I also have a problem with authority, I used to ask why I had to to things all the time because my mother had always tried to answer those "but why?" questions I asked when I was a little.

Its been 11 years since I left school (27 this year), I see people around that used to pick on me at school and most of them are in dead end jobs, some have even gone to prison! I know I shouldn't really but I laugh sometimes and gloat to myself because I'm doing so much better than they are.

13 years of bullying must have seemed like a vendetta although I doubt that the bullies ever gave it that much thought. Sadly, bullying can be a form of bonding and it's 'better' to be on the inside. Put it behind you Simon; those days are over.

shouldnt you be gone again until next year?

Perhaps a bit more exercise too, rather than just moving my mouse.

your cat might say that moving your mouse can be lots of exercise... depending how fast the mouse is going at the time

just want to echo what everyone here says & good on you for planning on going, i like your style. what people say is true, the bullies have often got a more complex agenda than meets the eye - heard throught the grapevine of a guy that used to be a pain at school, & friend of mine met him on a bus & he said i bet you really hate me... a lot do feel bad later i'm sure....

Ages ago I bumped into a guy who I used to regular go up against at school, a proper cowardly bully, and he was as nice as could be... of course I told him to go and have a sexual encounter with himself as I hated him then and hate him still,

... and there's nothing like letting bygones be bygones heh..

What I cant wait for at my School Reunion in like 10 years is going up to all the "Cool clique" and asking them "What do you do?" and listening to them tell me how they're working a minimum wage job and still live with their parents. Not that that's a bad thing, just not something I want to be doing when i'm 28

I've just tried on some clothes that I haven't worn for a while, they used to fit me 6 months ago, I've out more weight on since I last wore them

The gut is going thats for sure, what with a case of heart problems on my Dad's side of the family I don't want end up like my Granddad whose had a tripple heart bypass 11 years ago.

Speaking from a former-part-time-bully perspective, we just do it for fun most of the time... school is a boring place and without taking the piss out of someone its even more boring... So I wouldn't worry about it - unless they are complete meatheads; then takes some boxing/martial art lessons

Perhaps. Would you miss me?

[SmileyUK]

id miss my presents if you didnt get them made in time because you had spent too long on here. I have been being good as well, but i might start to be bad again if i know it will all have been for nothing.

[santa claus]

Thanks for making me laugh mate, best laugh I've had all day.

[Stewart]

Well mate, touching though this story is, if you are fat because you are stuffing bacon, cheese burgers and coke down your gob, then maybe, and I realise this is a little crazy, but maybe... stop stuffing bacon, cheese burgers and coke down your gob?

Might just work.

No, seriously, stop eating like that. Or you'll catch dead.

[santa claus]

In which case, you have also made my day. Thank you.

ps sorry to hijack your thread btw.

[Behemoth]

I plan on stopping the cheese burgers lol it's just a case of I work really silly and unbalanced shifts and well, it's a case of eating the wrong stuff because it's easier, a habbit I intend to get out of.

Don't worry about the thread hijack, it was all in the name of good fun

[Stewart]

Yeah, but I had a habbit I needed to get out of, SMOKING CIGAFAGS! And that wasn't easy to stop, but I didn't want to catch dead, or have to keep buying them.

So I stopped.

Also, why is it eaiser to shove something unhealthy down your throat than something healthy? Its not eaiser, you are kidding yourself. You prefer to do it, because bacon is nice. Coke is nice. Burgers are nice.

Stop lieing to yourself and eat carrots.
