She Confronted The High School Bully And Reminded This Woman That She Caused A Girl To End Her Life And She’s Asking The Internet If She Was Out Of Line
A woman who has been out of high school for 15 years now recently returned to the town she grew up in for Christmas.
While she was home for the holidays, she ran into the high school bully, Jenna, while at a Walmart.
Jenna was the absolute worst back in high school. She was a mean girl who only hung out with other girls who bought their clothes from the local mall.
Jenna was also a cheerleader, a flyer to be exact, and would relentlessly bully any girl that was bigger than her.
Although Jenna never bullied her directly, Jenna bullied her friends and other girls at their high school too.
“Jenna successfully bullied one girl, Becky, into developing an eating disorder,” she explained.
“Becky passed away while in college because of a TBI as a result of bulimia and binge drinking. I was not BFFs with Becky but we had classes together and she was always cool.”
Anyway, when she ran into Jenna, Jenna instantly began making mean comments about another girl they went to high school with that Jenna had also run into.
She found what Jenna said to be so cruel and critical. She could see that Jenna acted like she was still in high school and hadn’t grown up at all.

Then Jenna started speaking about a party that had happened during their senior year, and Jenna fondly said that those were the good old days where they had so much freedom and could all just spend time together as friends.
“This rubbed me the wrong way, so I said “I dunno, I remember things a little different I guess. Like you making (girl name from HS) cry because she got her jeans from Kmart,” she said.
“Jenna looked really shocked and was like “That was so long ago, things are so different now.”
“I looked at her daughter who’d gone down across the row to another aisle, she was on the chubby side, and whispered: “I hope you’re nicer to her than you were to the big girls in our class to she doesn’t end up like Becky (lastname).”
“Jenna’s face changed real fast and she called for her daughter. I just said have a nice holiday and started walking away and she was like “I can’t believe you would say that. That was so long ago.”
“I just looked her in the eye and mouthed ‘bully’ to her and walked away.”
A few hours after the incident with Jenna, someone she knows sent her a message on Facebook.
The message contained a screenshot of something Jenna had written on Facebook; it was an account of Jenna’s side of the story regarding what had happened between them earlier in Walmart.
Many people accused her of being “out of line” and not Jenna. Many people also said that she was insane and in the wrong for blaming Jenna for Becky’s death.
She doesn’t feel she was wrong though; she knows that it was Jenna who bullied Becky so badly, and she can’t believe that everyone has just forgotten the truth.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“Jenna clearly hasn’t changed since high school, despite what she’d like to pretend. And I think it’s pretty rich of her to be offended, seeing as she killed someone.”
“Was it a little insensitive to say? Sure but someone died because of this woman and your comment (although AHish in nature) I’m sure was honest – you hope her kid is not subjected to the same negativity she showed all bigger people in HS.”
“People hate hearing the truth of how things were when they’re romanticizing a time in their life. I bet you this woman feels zero remorse about how she treated Becky and that she ended up dead in part because of her bullying.”
“I’ll tell you why…because just minutes before she said “that was so long ago” she was talking smack about someone else she just saw!”
“Bullies love to justify their behavior and play the victim when they get called out on it.”
“Time passing doesn’t change people, genuinely working on oneself does. “It was so long ago” is a crappy justification.”
“Sometimes it takes someone calling you out like you did to her, to really see the things you need to fix in yourself. Also if she’s gone online to bully you over it, she hasn’t changed. Hope her daughter’s ok.”
“She didn’t change at all and frankly, she is indirectly/partly responsible for that girl’s death.”
“I couldn’t imagine anyone bullying someone into having an ED and then say stuff like “oh that’s such a long time ago. It doesn’t matter and don’t hold that against me”. She’s pathetic.”
“And good for you for saying that. Hopefully, her daughter won’t experience the same treatment from her mother.”
