Did you ever make friends with someone who bullied you?

Have you ever made friends with someone who bullied you? I was bullied by this white kid growing up, he wasn't the type to hit me or do anything like that, but he'd call me names, mostly called me a nerd. Anyway, I wasn't too annoyed by it, because all he did was call me a nerd and I think he called me gay once or twice, you know, the late 90s and early 2000s that's all you'd hear in school.

Anyway, one day this kid just stops. He stopped bothering me out of the blue, and I think it was because another kid decided to slap him clear across the face when he called him gay once. Dude stopped being a bully at that point and just chilled right out. A few weeks later I decided to just confront the dude about why he was always on me. He said it was because I was easy to target and he just felt like doing it because others were. Pretty much, he just wanted attention and to be recognized in school, but in the end, it resulted in him being considered a douche.

Anyway, we talked a bit, and find out we're both into the same types of video games and movies. That weekend I think we even had a sleepover. I didn't have those often, but when I did it was always fun.

Never been bullied but I had cats I didn't get along with for whatever reason and then we chopped it up and became friends. It was strange how we had animosity for no reason. Sometimes choppin it up can save lives.
Right? It's like, what was the reason you guys hated me before? It's like, where did the hate come from in the first place. I wish people actually took the chance to get to know people before judging them.
Absolutely not.
I ain't gonna hold a grudge or anything but I damn sure not gonna be friends
Yeah, sometimes it's best to just move on.
I've never been bullied but I wouldn't be friends with a bully. I hold too much of a grudge lol
That's fair. I've held my fair share of grudges with bullies and others.

If you were ever bullied, and your bully apologized, would you forgive them?

yeah but chopping it up is manhood cuz you gotta control yo emotions and boys have a hard time doing that. they be acting on impulse and fear.
