Dealing With Bullying Growing Up

For a while growing up in middle school, I bullied a kid who lived down the street from me named James.  Nearly every day, I’d say to him, “Can I beat you up?” 

One day, he had enough and started hitting me.  I walked home crying and when my mom saw me, she asked what happened.  I said behind tears, “James beat me up.” 

She dragged me over to his house.  When we got there, James said, “Look, he bullies me every day saying, ‘Can I beat you up?’  I just got sick of it and retaliated.”   I felt like an idiot.  After that, I never picked on him again.

In fact, I tried never to pick on anyone else again.  I learned to try to stay humble and treat people the way I wanted to be treated.    

This was when I was dealing with bullying growing up.
