The girl that bullied me when i was young is on facebook and she asked me if i grew up in her neighborhood. It made me wonder, did she really not remember me? I was bullied by her everyday, how could she not remember me? What i can say is that she is a nice person now, and i don't think she had an easy life growing up. I think that she was afraid, and is why she bullied me. I'm glad i got to know her all these years later, it made me able to forgive her. "fred" reminds me of her. I hope he grew up to be a nicer person, too.
