Agreed. My life is good now - I'm married to a wife I love, have a challenging and interesting career, and have a full table. At the same time, if someone talks to me in the wrong tone or insults a sensitive subject, I feel like I'm 12 again and taking endless shit for having a large forehead, walking funny, and talking odd. It's crazy to think how much being bullied has influenced my life - both good and bad.

Yeah, when I was fourteen I made fun of a kid with a speech impediment. He was giving me shit at the same time, but yeah, still not excusable.
The only person I really wished I sent an apology to was a girl who really had a rough life - I wasn't mean to her, but I also wasn't the person that I should have been. I suppose that's part of being human - our actions fall too often short of what is necessary. I facebook stalked her a few years ago, and she seemed to be doing well, so I let sleeping dogs life, but I still wonder.
