People don’t like to be bullied. There are always cruel kids who like to bully. They do it regardless of how many times they are told that it is not okay.
Something stands out to you if you were bullied a lot when you were younger. The people who did not bully you. The people who were nice to you. Those are the ones who get remembered.
Do you not believe us? A user with the handle @j_ryz recently shared a story about how he was introduced to his girlfriend by a person from high school who did not bully him.
The tweet said:
“Ran into a guy I played football with in high school today. As he’s introducing me to his GF he says, “This is John he was the only popular kid in high school who didn’t bully me. He was actually my friend.” Just a reminder that people never forget how you make them feel.”
Everyone felt it. So much so that people began to share their stories with him. Those are hitting us as well.

I went to a bar one night with some old friends from high school and one girl was there that I hadn't seen since graduation. She thanked me for always waiting for her to walk to homeroom with her. I had never really thought about it before, but the little things really do matter

I've actually had ppl message me now 13 years later randomly bc they are alone or lost everyone due to joining the military. They say how bad it was in highschool that they got bullied constantly and ask why I was so nice to them. I'd reply why wouldn't I be.

A popular 🏈 player at school was always nice to me. I was often ignored by everyone bcause I wasn't 'cool'. But he would tell his 🏈buddies that I was super cool. He really made my senior year tolerable. I will never forget how kind Vincent was to me no questions asked.

there was a boy that messaged me a few years after he left my school to tell me how much he appreciated how nice i was to him when all i did was the bare minimum – be a decent human being. the lack of empathy and understanding from high school students is terrifying

I still have deep regret over making just one mean comment to a girl everyone thought ugly in HS, thinking it was the cool thing to do. Stupid me. Now I only wish she can forgive me. I've hated bullies since and why I can't stand Trump and all those who defend him. Vote Biden.

Whn I 1st came to WI frm Japan, most kids either hated me or fawned over me. I didn't like it. The few ppl who treated me normal, I appreciated. Still do. L8r I friended a refugee, she & I R still BFFs, due to sticking up for her. I don't even remember.

Years ago when I was waiting tables, a guy asked me if I had a particular teacher in 1st grade. I said that yes, she was my first grade teacher and he said “You probably don’t remember me, but you were the only person who was nice to me in her class.” 😭😭

I got an email from a chap via old #Friendsreunited site saying thanks for showing him warmth & acceptance at school. He'd had dark times I knew nothing of & just wanted to say it had all worked out well for him & he was happy. It floored me at the time & I've never forgotten it.

Can confirm this is true. I don't hold grudges against my bullies. We were just kids and they made stupid decisions. But I will always appreciate the popular kids who decided to be nice to me instead. They were the good ones.

I remember all of those people who sucked, but I also remember the one girl who was always nice. I'm glad I had the opportunity to thank her a few years ago.

I run into a worker in Walmart occasionally who said he’ll never forget that my father is the only one who came to see him in the hospital in high school when he was having back to back seizures. 😭❤️

I remember the names of every popular kid who was nice to me, right along with every popular kid who made fun of me.
