Oh, I'm sure they do. The problem is, though, that we the bullied usually don't cope as well growing up after having our self-esteem stomped on every day for three plus years. They dealt with their own insecurities by taking it out on others like me. And to be honest, people that did that rarely grow out of that unless someone takes them down a few pegs. I've always imagined those same assholes to be the kind of guys that pick fights in bars, do stupid shit to "impress" their girls, etc. Of course, I also imagine those guys to grow up quite a bit once they have a kid. I've personally seen that happen once or twice.
Still, I can't help wondering how they would react if I met them today and said something along the lines of "You're one of the reasons I've wanted to kill myself."
