Today, I saw the guy I bullied during elementary school and tried to apologize to him. Instead, he took out a knife and stabbed me. I'm currently in the ER. FML

Bullying is damaging no matter how small or insignificant. While trying to apologize is an admirable thing to do and I praise you for it, it won't erase the days of pain that the victim has gone through. I'm hoping that you're safe and healing with the support of family and friends. And I hope that your attacker gets caught by the authorities and is given the help that they need.

thank you for apologizing. that took guts. get better soon

Holy crap!! You know what? I was bullied a Hell of a lot in school - all the way up to my fourth year of college, in fact. If anyone had told me back then that my bullies didn't deserve to be stabbed, I'd have told them they were full of crap. The thing is, people change; their circumstances change. I lost a lot of confidence over the bullied years, but I gained it all back - and then some. It takes time, but the wounds do heal. Of course, the time required varies from person to person. A stabbing, however, or anything that puts someone's life at risk, is different. You can rebuild your confidence; you can rediscover your worth; but if you lose your life? You're not coming back from that. Kudos for realising and caring that what you did in the past was wrong, and for trying to make amends. It's more than I ever got. Still, if any of them did find me and apologise, I'm not quite sure how I would react - but my reaction would not involve a knife.
