Poll of the Day > Anyone else became friends whit the kids you fought on back in high school?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I went to middle school and high school in the 90s, back then geek and nerd kids were bullied, have always loved geek stuff, but since my dad and paternal grandfather and grandmother were bodybuilders and my mom and my maternal grandfather competed in Taekwond when younger I have always been very fit and very strong for my age since basically being a toodler I have been in sports.

For that reason I defended the other weaker week kids from the bullies, for some reason however I keep becoming friends whit the kids I beat up. 3 of my closest friends today are guys who I beat up as a kid while I defended they kids they bullied, in the end they also became friends whit the kids they used to bully

I barely remember my toodler days.

I made friends with my enemies a lot, starting back in about grade 1, where myself and this Mike kid pounded the crap out of each other to exhaustion and then decided to combine forces.
---

Not friends, per se, but a few of them I got on better terms with.

If anything, I tended more the other way. I was friends with a group of guys in middle school whom puberty turned into raging assholes in high school; I eventually got sick of their bullshit and stopped hanging out with nearly all of them.

no, I would tend to befriend fellow loners
---

did you stand on them while you fought?
---

I've never fought on top of any kids.

I don't even know how that's logistically possible.

I used to torment this one kid back in secondary school however we became acquaintances. Both of us were bullied for one reason or another so I guess it was inevitable.

On the other side of the coin in primary school I was acquaintances with this one kid who told me that his mum said we couldn't be friends when moving up to secondary school due to me being a bad influence and the fact he'll make new friends. Unsurprisingly since that day I resented him during my school years after that. We only ever got into a physical fight once or twice and even then it wasn't anything major as I just punched him and then he punched me the other time. That's fair enough as far as I'm concerned.

I still see him around when I'm drinking as he used to work at the casino near me. We are always civil to each other though. I always find it amusing when people you didn't get along with back at school act like you're their best mate once you become adults and leave. Still he didn't do anything major for me to hold a grudge so.

school no, from my neighborhood yeah. dude was a bully and I was the first person i'm aware of to ever take a swing at him. many years later after he came back from Juvie or whatever, he started smoking weed and became the most chill person ever.

I always had this pattern in elementary school. A kid would mess with me for an entire school year. I'd stand up to them. They'd laugh. I'd roll my eyes and whatnot. Next year, they act all chummy with me like we're buds, and they never say anything bad to me again.

Friends? No thanks. I have business associates.

The first of them was a guy in middle school he was large and bullied the nerds who looked like typical nerd stereotypes. Since they were very chill I defended them from the guy and beat him up. we were suspended and their parents wanted to press charges, the cops were unconvinced and even laughed at him since I was considerably shorter than him. He acused me of using steroids since I was very strong for my size and very ripped for that age....

2 years latter an even larger bully came out so I defended the original bully from him... this guy almost beat me up since he was huge but I was able to get him crying by chocke holding him...by the second time I beat him up he gave up and started ignoring me. Half a year latter we became friends because both liked Dragonball Z
