Plot Twist
What we often don’t see is the person behind the bully. Usually, their actions are not an accident – they’re reacting to something in their own lives. One mistake the bullied can make is thinking it’s about them; often, it’s really not. They’re just the target of a tragic expression of an unmet need. And when we can get to the core of the matter like that, we can all heal.
It’s actually inspiring to see people not only owning up to their past mistakes, but also being able to live in peace with them and work on themselves to be a better person. If only more people did this, I’m certain we would live in a much healthier society. Hopefully, this trend will catch on.
