I have Asperger Syndrome and am very gentle person. So much so that I have been a target of bullying all my life even by some who were supposed to have cared for me because I was such an easy target and eager to please others. I fought to leave care and am now doing well and living indpendently but I must admit some of the anger from the past caused by my feelings of helplessness probably does take over my life at times. Today I found a member of staff who used to do this to me on facebook and left them a shitty message. I was very shy when in care you see and I wanted to express my anger towards them. Is it normal to feel so angry and to feel like you want to tell people just how they hurt you?

    anger is natural, and much better than depression.

    Bullies at heart are cowards who won't fight anything that fights back. Therefore even a small amount of courage is enough to drive these dogs away.

    Next time stand up, give vent to your anger and your oppressors will flee.

    Bullys are just pathetic people who want attention. You just have to stand up for yourself and you should stop letting them take advantage of you.

    I think you are normal.

    Bullies don't always realize that they actually are "bullies". So when you point out to a person how horribly they treated you and how it made your life miserable, it may come as a surprise to them. Or maybe they know it, but they feel too ashamed to apologize to you. Even if they laugh at your accusations now, they will grow up (one day) and they will most likely regret how they treated you.

    If they asked for your forgiveness (and they were serious), would you give it?

    I'm 36 years old. One of my childhood buddies sent me a letter of apology on Facebook a couple of years ago. It felt good to have them acknowledge their shitty behaviour and I forgave them - it felt like the right thing to do.
