I think you missed my point. I never claimed it's fixed 100% through time. I claimed it's fixed within a basic context and with deviation.

A bully who commits assault should be prosecuted. In high school I was once placed head first in a tall trash can, which was then set up on a drinking fountain. Somehow though I left the situation unharmed and with the bully as a friend.

That's rare — good for you.

How peculiarly absurd, not to mention borderline illegal, can be suggesting that "A person who reacts well to interaction with a bully might come away with a new friend" What about with a rapist or any other CRIMINAL. Frankly, a very unfortunate comment. Correction: appalling.

Don't equate a rapist with someone who occasionally teases someone else with words. I have seen many teens/young adults develop friendships with people who bullied/teased them. Everyone was better off in the end because of how the person reacted positively.

"I was once placed head first in a tall trash can, which was then set up on a drinking fountain" is not equal to "occasionally teas[ing] someone else with words" !!!!

I also notice many abusive relationships and pretty much Stockholm syndrome in certain groups, so? Being friends with abusers is a way to survive when no other options are possible.
-
I don't mean that you stay friends with them if they keep abusing you. Just that a person's positive response to soft abuse can sometimes end the abuse and lead to a positive relationship.

I dunno about you but I'm a Dr in Psychology and I think that's not a good idea.
