Re: Bullies and bullying- how close to home is it?

I don't know why Jordan felt that his life was so worthless that ending it was better than facing it, but the children responsible will one day come to their senses and realize the horror of their actions. "If only I had been his friend..." What a horrible thought.
I dunno. No doubt SOME are sorry for things they did in the past but in my experience, most just laugh it off since they were actually having FUN at the time. Of course I'm talking about kids who bullied others who DIDN'T end up killing themselves.

I've thought about a scenario where someone would offer me special "gifts" AND the ability to go back in time 30 years, if I would do it. Life is good now but I can imagine the massive satisfaction of going all all Carrie on about 1/4 of my school. Shoot, the analogy goes even further in that my own folks were very close to Carrie's crazy religion-obsessed mother having bought into the pastor-centric-hero-worship of the UPC at the time. (My folks are NOT like that now nor have they been for a very long time, but just like my comment above about most bullies not being truly sorry for things they've done, my folks don't have a CLUE about how my current view on religion was shaped by them.)
