I was frequently bullied in the Catholic middle school I went to and so many years later I asked a former classmate why. The answers were actually very helpful to me. The apology too. Of course I can't give advice here but often when you seek information the best is to ask.

It's also useful to the bully, too, although that's a very subordinated concern. Like, I used to *constantly* bully my neighbor growing up, even though I liked his company and hung out with him a lot. If he asked me now, my answer would be, "I don't know. I'm sorry. I was awful."

We have 2 young boys and it's been fascinating watching them and their friends grow up. Seems like every kids go through a trial bully stage regardless of their social standings (except mine, of course). Most grow out of it quickly, a couple haven't yet.

Yea. Absent correction, they're going to figure out that bullying is a profitable exploit once they start testing boundaries. And a lot of parent's aren't interested in correction because they're afraid their kids will be the ones bullied, reproducing the shit cycle.
