Kids (AND adults) can be downright "Carrie Cruel", and, during our formative years, this sort of bullying can shape our personalities detrimentally if we do not have some sort of strong,emotional support in place. Oftentimes, adults who were bullied as children are told to "get over it" and that they are being childish to hold on to past resentments. Bad experiences with having been or being bullied can shut us down emotionally and screw with our self concept. This, in turn, can limit our success and opportunities in life. Bullying is no joke and if you cannot forgive this guy for how he tortured you in the past, then you won't. However, I find that forgiveness really does help me more than the person that I am forgiving.
IIN that you can't let something go unless you get an apology?
