I was mostly the victim of bullying, sometimes I'd bully others but I kinda knew how bad it was so I never went too far. Except for one guy. He was bullied by the whole school and because my friends had a bit of sympathy for him we were the closest thing to a group of friends he had. We'd eat lunch with him hang out during recess with him. Even we bullied him sometimes, although sometimes he really was insufferable. Many years later, long after we all were done with school and went out own ways I learned that he killed himself. I don't think that the bullying we did was what pushed him to choose to take his life. That would be really narcissistic. I do wish I could take it back and I can't tell him how sorry I am.
