Caroline Spence:"In elementary school one time, a girl made me promise to bring her a snack every day or else she would tell the teacher I cheated on my homework. Blackmail, in second grade."


   

Klyde Joy: "Yes, in middle school I was bullied a lot. People didn't accept me for who I was because of my sexual orientation. "


   

Henry Folley: "Oh, yes, I worked on jobs where I've been bullied, where the boss will pick on me, but the rest of the employees he'll look over-- favoritism and stuff like that. I've been there."

In the workplace, yes. But I bullied back to the best of my ability.

The only flaw in this concept was the fact I didn't have the power to fire the person who was bulling me. He on the other hand did have that power... and he exercised it wrongfully. Oh well, that's life! I am a firm bliever he will answer to higher authorities someday. Maybe not on this earth, but someday none the less. :)
