I didn't even know of any bullies when I was in HS. Stupid jocks sure, but not bullies.

you didn't read the op i take it?

he said these people are writing back and forth to each other too, not just on their friends list.

There were bullies in highschool? There were some kids who were dicks, and we always made fun of each other. I dont think I would qualify anyone as a bully though.

My school was kinda segregated. The smart kids all had classes on the upper two floors and the ghetto thug kids were all on the first floor. Among the smart kids, there was no bullying and we got along pretty well. Not sure about the thug kids. In fact, we nearly forgot they existed since we never saw them.
