I know what you mean, I'm sure a few of my bullies were from bad homes too, most of them though I have to admit, were just the rich brats. There has only been about 3 incidents of me being bullied after I moved, one of which I've completely forgiven the bully because she was bipolar and her mean-ness was a side effect of the drug her doctor switched her to, so it's not like she deliberately tried to be mean. Another girl I...don't know what her problem was, but I'm sure she must have dropped out when she went to highschool, it wouldn't suprise me if her parents were drop outs like that too. That last person? Eh, I know a little bit about him because he used to be friends with my brother- he's just a stoner and an idiot. I don't think his parents really care either.

But I digress, I'm sorry that your expiriences have effected you later in life. I don't think the bullying was really anyones fault to be honest. Of course nobody deserves to be bullied, but the way you decribe your bullies it sound like they were just some really confused and hurting kids underneath all of the crap.

The story about that girl though...reminds me of a girl I know from our school. She's not afraid to beat up anyone she doesn't agree with, just comes off as a really combative person. Thank god I havn't made her mad, just because if we ever got into a fight I know who would win...and it wouldn't be me. Like I said before: I'm a lover, not a fighter </font>
