The stupid thing is he was the sort of person I would rather be friendly with now. What makes it worse is I was sort of bullied myself early in my high school days as I went to a grammar school and was from the wrong side of the tracks. It didn't last long as I "took action", but I should have realised how my actions would have affected people. It pretty much was just to look big in front of friends, I never wanted to actually hurt anybody, but the emotional trauma never entered my head. I was a very immature teenager.
I wasn't a bully, but I was certainly an a-hole. I began to put an end to that behaviour in grade 12, but even then, it wasn't quite so. In some ways, I was mature, whilst in other ways, I was not.

Props to the bullied kid, though. When he picked up his tormentor and threw him to the ground, I was like, "Yeah, this is how we do it in mah 'hood!" Good stuff.
