Question: Why do some people say "Living well is the best revenge."?

I've been verbally bullied mercilessly for six years now (I'm in 12th grade, btw). About 70-80 people have made fun of me, talked about me, laughed at me, ridiculed, humiliated, ostracized, and alienated me. They always say that I'm crazy, mentally unstable, weird, creepy, psycho, ugly, and a serial because I'm very quiet, geeky, socially awkward, and introverted. They literally think I spend most of my time killing people and planning ways to shoot or bomb the whole school. A few people, including my parents told me that ten years from now, I'm going to be very successful, happy, and wealthy while they'll be miserable working dead-end jobs, flipping burgers at McDonalds, having five to six kids, going to jail, end up dead or me being their boss. I plan on being a famous professional singer after high school but that doesn't sound like good revenge. Sure, it would be awesome that one day I might be blessed to be a huge successful pop singer like Mariah Carey or Lady Gaga, have #1 singles and albums, have millions of die-hard fans, and be a multi-millionaire and my former bullies won't have all that, but they won't experienced the abuse, pain, hurt, depression, self- hatred and angst they put me through. They won't know know what it's like to be made fun of, laughed at, and ridiculed everyday for six years. They won't experienced what it's like to have alot of people against you for no reason or be friendless, lonley, and ostracized. If all of my former tormentors were verbally bullied the same way they bullied me for several years, to me that would be the BEST revenge. I know that sounds mean and bitter, but how is living large better?

Answers:

The best way to get over the hurt you feel, and to prevent yourself becoming bitter about what happened is to become so successful that the people who bullied you will feel envious of what you have. Go for what you want to do, and work hard to make it happen. if you don't then you'll end up wondering "what if" and will feel much worse about yourself.

what you don't know is exactly how these cowardly low - lives will be treated later in their lives. They may end up in jobs with abusive colleagues or bosses who don't care about their employees' welfare, or in relationships where they are abused in more ways than one.

The best way you can avenge your tormentors is to hold your head high - you're soo much better than they are, and to remember that you can do aything you set your mind to. If you don't, then they'll have wion this "battle" as they'll have totally ground you down to the point where you feel you can't do anything, thus making them feel they were right to mistreat you, when they were not.

In case you're wondering, I HAVE been through bullying, both verbal and physical, so I know what I'm talking about, and feel I'm in an ideal position to give you advice.

Lots of pewrsonal experience.

It shows that you got past the bullying and didnt let it get to you and went about your life. Bullies have many insecurities themselves so they feel they need to lash out at someone else. Ive been bullied in school and its just something you have to deal with, getting out of it, you'll feel like a stronger person
