I'm sorry you went through this. I know this will sound very cliché but bullies are the way they are because of their own insecurities.

While I could write about this forever, I'll just give you a snapshot of what I went through.....

I dealt with a guy in the Navy who was bigger, fatter and presumably stronger than me. Without going into detail, he made my life hell for the two years I was on that ship.

All these years later, I got bigger and stronger and a lot more confident. My ship has a message board and I called him out and I felt so much better. No, it wasn't electronic courage as I have gained a lot more respect for myself and decided I'm not going to be anyone's doormat anymore whether in-person or otherwise. Period.

My point is is I'm confident one day he'll see it (maybe he has?). If he does and wants to respond, my e-mail is available on that site. I know this sounds like a couple of high schoolers holding a grudge and throwing hands at their 30-year class reunion but I really don't care. I'm passive about most things but some things I just hold onto (hence Revenge Tour).

My advice to you is to really assess what it is that bothers/bothered and how much does it affect you. Is it a daily struggle? Once in a while? Etc. After some self-evaluation, you'll know which direction would be best. I wish you success in this.
