Is it normal i attempted to kill someone as a kid?

When I was a kid, I was occasionally taunted, but it was always by one kid. He would mercilessly tease me every day. Over the years, this fucked me up psychologically (but I didn't know to what extent). One day, he pushed me too far, and I got "blackout anger". My sanity just completely snapped, and I pounced on him and starting beating the crap out of him. I've been in other fights, but this one was different. In the other ones, I was just intending to hurt them. In this one, I was aiming to kill him. I eventually came to my senses and woke up covered in his blood, with me kneeling on his chest and with my hand on his neck, with the other about to punch. Needless to say, we both avoid each other. IIN?

    This is why people shouldn't bully others. Eventually, their victims will snap. While I don't agree with fighting, I do realise that sometimes it is necessary in certain situations. I applaud you for fighting back, defending your honour and for regaining your senses before you actually killed him.

        I see. But if you hadn't, you would most likely be in jail/have a record and your name would be tarnished. Whenever you would get out, that is if you had a light sentence, you'd have to change your name and possibly move because you'd be harassed,etc.

          There are plenty of people I would trade jail time for, given the right circumstances.

    Yes, it's normal to be in a fit of rage and intend to kill. If you weren't in a rage, then it would of been less normal.

    I was in a similar situation when I was sixteen against my mother's forty year old partner. I have always been strong for my age. I got him down on the ground, then ended up choking him, he literally went blue in the face and started crying. I wasn't angry, it felt calming, as if nothing existed. I think I was in some sort of trance, I couldn't hear anything, it was silent, no anger, no emotion, just, nothing. It was peaceful. It wasn't until the rest of my family was screaming for me to stop did I break out of it and let him go.

    I say it is completely normal. You were being bullied, the little shit got what he deserved.
    We are animals. Humans will always kill other humans intentionally. Every single human being is capable of killing another person with the full intention of murder. For the majority of us, at least once in our lives, someone will come along and we will genuinely want them dead.

    I wanted to kill my bullies too. If guns were allowed in my country Columbine killers would be called copycats as it would have happened in 1993.

          As if a shooting spree in a school is ever justified.

    I think it is normal, I've never been bullied so wouldn't know how much it would take, what wouldn't be normal, if is you still hold that anger with you and is destroying your life and others close to you.... But I would say it is normal under the circumstances even if slightly immoral haha
