Well I didn't reach out exactly but stumbled across them by chance, this is a smallish town and 2 of the more minor bullies (more like 'hangers on') worked n the supermarket where I shopped with my husband.

One flat out didn't seem to recognise me, no eye contact. I find that surprising as other people from school days tell me I haven't changed. She was very overweight and had stomach stapling surgery (I heard her talking to a colleague).

The other woman was nice to me, we had light conversation, she doesn't remember things the way I do.

I guess from my experience I'd say a) They recall differently b) They have moved on with their lives just like I have.

The main offenders I have not seen and do not wish to. I don't like to 'go back', prefer to focus on now. It might be different for you and maybe you feel like you want closure, but do be cautious especially where fb is concerned people give highly edited versions of their life on there in my experience.
