Robin Staal you know brother 2 weeks ago , i would have completely agreed with whatever you have said but man i have to tell you people do change when they grow i have been bullied myself and yet i still believe that people despite their actions must be given a second change to redeem though that does not mean that whatever crimes he did in the past should simply be forgotten and neither does it mean that you should necessarily forgive him but rather than that you should allow both of you to move ahead in life rather dwelling in the past . trust me it makes life a lot easier.
Props to the former bully. The bullies in our school never had that kind of integrity or consciousness. I saw some of these bullies years later. They’re still the same wretched people they were as teenagers.
Don’t worry, everyone will eventually have to face justice at the end of their lives. I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.” - Ecclesiastes 3:17
Only because his daughter is bullied. That’s not from the heart. If she wasn’t bullied he wouldn’t even think of him or have remorse. Still a selfish cowardly bully.
@@sunnydelight5255 I don’t think he is selfish or a coward. He probably didn’t realize how damaging his behavior was towards his classmate until he saw someone he loves go through it. He acknowledged the hurt and owned up to it which shows empathy and integrity. Should the bully have had empathy back in junior high towards his classmate? Of course. We also don’t know how the bully was raised or what was going on in his home life at the time.
Garret Cathers once i was getting bullied by this kid in middle school. 2 days later i borrowed a mini baseball bat from my cousin and when he came up to hit me i took the baseball bat out and hit him multiple times in hes rib cage
@@user-tq9ed9xz1x He’s not a teen anymore. He grew up, made amends and became friends with the person he bullied. He didn’t care if he was shown on t.v because like he said he wants to set a good example for his daughter so he wants to set a good example for people watching. You don’t think that somebody who might not have changed and had kids would teach their kids to do things that lead to bullying or influence his kid to bully?
@@user-tq9ed9xz1x His parents might not have set a good example for him so he bullied. He might have not know that what he was doing was wrong because that’s what he taught was right.
@@user12name34 This. I was a bully because that's what my home environment was like back in elementary. I hated myself back then. I hope to get the courage to send messages to the people who I have hurt. They don't have to accept my apologies, and I don't expect them to either. I just want them to know that I am sorry for what I have done in the past as a clueless child who was raised in a hostile environment.
@@tinydough8746 The fact that you realised your wrong doings despite the environment you were raised in is amazing. And you accept the fact that the people you bullied may never forgive you and yet, you posted this message... Your not a bad person, you just got raised in the wrong environment. Your really brave telling people this. I'm proud of you😊
... when he was bullying, was someone setting an example for him? ... what if he had no child - I guess he wouldn't have bothered apologizing. I mean "setting an example" ...
Thank you sir... ...I was bullied through school but I'm ok now. (No need going into detail) ...Anyone who is having sleepless nights for what they did to me in school, I pray they never recover from it.
@@StretchUrMind1115 I guess your bully didn't apologize to you, but don't take it out on this guy, thinking if he didn't have a child, he wouldn't bother apologizing.
@@StretchUrMind1115 yeah you have a point but I am sure he had a certain amount of humanity and guilt. I got bullied as well, and it's not right but it happens. I don't hate any of them for it. It's just life
I can think of a few. Flash Thompson, Buford (Phineas and Ferb), Nice Biff Tannen, Harold, Stoop Kid, and Helga (Hey Arnold!), Jinx (Teen Titans), and Warren Peace (Sky High) come to mind.
Liquid SNR don’t be such a pussy. I’m sure they tormented the gay guy when he was younger but he still had the heart to forgive his bully. Being resentful would have achieved nothing.
You just described every childhood bully I still run into today. Even blame me for not being able to hold my ground against over 60 kids, said I let them do it to me. Let them. Like it's something I wanted.
My brother protected me from bullies when we were growing up. He would threaten them with a severe beating if they came near me. Years later, my brother became a heavy smoker. I took him in 11 years ago. He told me that he would’ve been homeless had I not done so. I told him I was going to protect him from the big bully called life. I helped him become a prayer warrior. We prayed together a lot. He died six months ago. What incredible Journey I had
There was a bully in my elementary school named Patrick. My mother encouraged me to invite him over to play after school, which I reluctantly did. We tried playing with some toys but he was inconsolable and was crying to be with his mommy. I realized then that he was going through a tough time in his life. I was able to connect with him in a positive and empathetic way, and he didn't bully anyone else at school after that. That experience taught me that hurt people hurt people.
Respect? For what? Someone who don't respect you want tell you worthless words just to feel better bcs he have crisis. And it will make him fell better lol. After accepting apology bully was win second time.
The only teacher in the world who cared when he was being bullied Edit: 11/October/2021: wow thank ya'll so much for 270+ likes! Never had these many likes before
I sent my jr high bully a message about ten years ago, calmly telling him everything I felt and that if he had any self respect whatsoever he would message me back with an explanation. I never heard anything. I guess not everyone grows up and becomes a better person as this man did.
@@btksavage8167 I can tell that YOU’RE a kid that thinks saying the words “your gay” is funny which is something I don’t find funny but rather offensive. I don’t know why you find “your gay” funny and if you didn’t find it funny then why say it in the first place, yes thanks for reminding me that I’m gay and chile- please go back to crying for your Dino nuggets, thank you.
The ptsd bullies leave can last a lifetime. I recently met up with a childhood bully, smoked a joint with him, talked, we never brought up the past, it was a weird reunion.
Its amazing. Most bullies cant even remember bullying kids or what they did or said or even think it was their fault or " not that big of a deal" for that guy to even remember and apologise was pretty staggering.
i feel bad for the bully, when you know that he has felt guilt for this long , that means that he has probably felt horrible and for him to do this is amazing
Lol, the guy who was bullied had to leave his hometown and never return for 20 years. The bully ended up getting married, raising a family, and having a career (living a normal life).
I once met a guy who bullied me ( also was the bullied gay kid ) and he tried to put out his hand and apologize, he was told in a not so polite way where to put his hand and apology. Respect to this guy but I could never forgive or look someone in the eye who damaged me mentally.
yeah, i don’t know if i could forgive either. i’m not a big believer in “forgive and forget.” i don’t forget and i don’t forgive (when it comes tk serious things) but good for these two men, i feel that his former bully is genuinely sorry
Another lesson is grow up and be a real man, so what If someome said mean words? Real life is tough, Will he cry like a baby when he doesnt get a job? Or If he burnt the toast? The media wants men to be soft sensetive crybabies that love make up and hate meat
True story: A ran into my HS bully. I was a senior analyst for a large corporate company. I went to use the restroom after a meeting break and I noticed the janitor cleaning the restroom is the bully who I remember making racial remarks about me and he did this for a year. I asked if he went to the this such and such high school and he confirmed 100% went there. I asked about what he has done since then and he told me his life story in just under 3 minutes. We were in HS 2 decades ago and I just did not bother reminding him that he was a bully. Not that being a janitor is a lowly job but he just looked miserable and I did not want to remind him of his old past. I did ask if he was a married and he showed me a pic of him and his wife and kids. His wife is asian.
Thank you for not trying to torment him. You went above that and left him be. If you tried to get back at him you would've been another bully, actually.
"Move on." Yeah, the victim moved on, alright, being exiled from his hometown for twenty years, while the bully got to blow some docile woman's back out and spread his genes. So courageous, that bully.
I wonder how Inside Edition found out about this story. Was the victim like "hey inside edition, my bully just apologized for bullying me 20 years ago" and they thought wow what an interesting story?? Im so confused...
It’s good that he apologized and changed, but unfortunately victims like Chad need this at the time of the bullying and not now. Bullies need to change now and not later, kids can take their own life before then.
Scarlet Phoneix Yep, I know tons of people who use religion to “make up” for their past. It’s self serving and does nothing to alleviate the pain they’ve caused others. Just another way for them to boost their own egos and not have to deal with reality.
Being bullied changes the heart and soul of a person. It is something that can never be forgotten or cleared from the mind and will always have an impact on that person for the rest of his life. It's like walking with a scar on your heart that can never be healed. Please remember this whenever you see someone being emotionally damaged, please step in and help the person in need. You will know from your heart that your help is needed when you see it, please listen to your heart.
Did you see the Power Rangers episode where this kid was being bullied and the Red Power Ranger (I forget which incarceration this was) intervened and helped him out.... I had found out later he had been bullied in his school as a kid
Hats off to you Padner. My brother was bullied as a kid. He committed suicide. I felt like I failed him as a bigger brother. It was tough. Today I volunteer as a big brother to several orphanages locally. Cyber bullying is so unfortunate. We need strong people to stand up to these situations. Not only physically but mentally as well. God knows best.
I was bullied as a kid too. I found the bully's sister on Facebook 20 years later and told her to tell her brother that I hope he dies lonely and painfully. I will never forget nor forgive him for all the pain he caused me growing up.
Bullying is a huge problem and stories like this is very rare. Coming from somebody who experienced bullying majority of my childhood this made me smile 😢
" apologizing face to face is a lot harder then sending a message over Facebook" there is a lot of truth to it and its so fucking sad knowing that , that's what humanity has downgraded to , its now awkward to talk to people face to face for some , like social media is the only way they can talk, 100 years ago even 50 years ago that was not an issue or as big of one as it is today.
+11austin3100 I don't think it has anything to do with that. It'd be different if he thought an online apology was enough and felt as though he redeemed himself in the same way a face-to-face apology would have. Frankly, I think he was likely more awkward about his apology than he might have been if there wasn't a camera + crew in his face invading that private moment. If that were me then I'm sure I'd be annoyed with being unable to sound as sincere as I felt because the added audience was throwing me off. It's a nice video and all of course, but I imagine it had an impact on the reunion.
Good for him. I was bullied growing up so I know how the guy felt when you walk in the school. The only difference is none of my bullies ever apologized to me.
