Anyone ever pulled a Billy Madison

and apologized to someone years later for things you said or did to them as kids? Or maybe were the recipient of such an apology?

I suppose I wasn't unlike many youngsters in that in grade school I was insecure and would sometimes join in on group teasing of some poor soul. I never really was one to start it, but I definitely participated to save face and make myself in some sick way feel better.

I remember one kid in particular used to get it so badly that he had to change schools in 7th grade. I ran into him 15 or so years later, and he was successful and engaged to a hottie (no pics).

We ended up talking about grade school and how shitty it could be, and I ended up apologizing for any grief I may have caused him. He actually said that he never had any problem with me, but he did air out some residual anger towards some of the others.

It's funny how none of that shite matters when you reach adulthood. But you still never forget...
