Bullying is quite prevalent, and around 19% of students reported being tormented by their peers at school. Now, around 22% of students say that they are receiving harassment online or through text messages. This means that as the means of communication are evolving, kids are finding different ways of harassing others.
There are different types of bullying, like the spreading of rumors, being called names, or actual physical violence. All children who face these types of harassment find it hard to open up about it and struggle to share this with the people they know. There are often feelings of shame and embarrassment associated with such situations.

The best revenge is living well, but it's even better when you meet adversaries with humility and kindness.

...who was built like a fireplug and on the wrestling team. It did not end well for him.
Happened right in front of my lunch table by the tray drop off. Dude actually stabbed the wrestler in the head with a fork, which bent, and only pissed him off. Wrestler picked the guy up and slammed him, then did it again.
He hit that boy with a planet. Twice.

With all the different types of bullies out there, one begins to wonder why people would even do things like that. There are different reasons, like sometimes needing to dominate others in order to further their social status. Sometimes, such individuals suffer from low self-esteem and may take out their insecurities on easier targets.
This behavior might be seen more in children who like getting their way and don’t know how to control such urges. With nobody to step in and show them the right way, these actions might continue for a long time and cause a negative impact on the person they are bullying. It might also cause the tormentor a lot of guilt as they grow up and stop engaging in such activities.

For children who are the victims of school tormentors, it can feel extremely scary and isolating. The best thing to do is to stay calm in such situations and to report the behavior to adults. Talking to someone in an authority position will help make it their responsibility and allow you to get some peace of mind.
It’s also important not to let such hurtful words get to you and to speak about it to someone you trust. Bullies try to prey on your worst insecurities, and that can be especially painful for children with developing minds. That’s why one should take a moment to think about what has been said and realize that it’s just someone projecting their feelings onto you.

He wasn’t really that successful at bullying, though it wasn’t for lack of trying.

If you have never been a victim of bullying, but you know someone who is going through or has dealt with it, then it’s important to be a source of support for them. Start by first talking to the person and asking them what you can do to help. If they don’t seem receptive to your actions, you can just hang out with them in silence and give them the space they need.
Try to be a non-judgmental friend for them who gives them a listening ear whenever possible. The child might feel sensitive and powerless, so reinforcing that it’s not their fault is a good way to rebuild their confidence. Overall, just being there for the person being bullied will help show them that they aren’t alone.

Early in his adulthood he was stricken by grand mal seizures and now he lives in a wheelchair.
I guess we could argue that he didn't deserve it, but you'll never convince 10-year-old me.

Nobody wants a bully to do well and prosper because of the terrible things that they did to other people. Some tormentors do, in fact, realize their mistakes and make better choices as they grow up. Others, like the folks in this list, never truly make up for what they did and eventually face the consequences.

I didn’t even realise what I did, it just all went on autopilot mode because I was so stressed and on edge from months of consistent bullying.
Never been bullied from that day and the d*******g also stopped bullying others. I was then pondering why it took me so long to realise these people only understand one kind of message.
