KSena's Journal

On might think that is a tough question, but it really is not.

My mom still lives where I grew up, so I do get tide-bits of gossip from her.

I know one of my first bullies, Zacharias, ended up owning the pool place in the little town... which had so much coke in it sold and used it was literary crawling out of the walls... or so I was told. From what I heard he also ended up in a couple of relationships where he beat the shit out of the girl in question. :-/ Yep. He ended up jail. I don't know if he is still there, but from all that coke? Probably a loooooong time. Swedish drug-laws are HARD (as they should be). To be fair, he had a really, REALLY shitty childhood, but still. :-P He used to hit me, beat on me and throw things at me. Only one that used physically violence towards me. Left me with a scar in my right eyebrow from a chair he threw at my face when I was 11 or 12. The eyebrow looks a bit thinner and edgy from it, sorta... Hard to explain.

Then there is Dennis. Now, he was interesting. When you were alone with him (we went with the same school bus) he was a bit shy and quite. Not bad at all. Could talk to him and everything. But when he got together with his friend Färes... All shit went lose... They used to throw obcene names after me and throw used snuff (a sort of tobacco you have under your lip) after me, spit after me, show me into walls... I know Dennis tried to get his life around after school, short cute bad guy, but he ended up in the wrong crowd and raped a mentally handicapped girl. Prison again. :-/ I really really hope he managed to get his life around after that. I never thought it was anything wrong with him, but that he was pushed to do it from his friends. Färes, I know ended up a criminal as well. Not sure if he ended up in prison or not though.... Both of them had a tough childhood.

And then there was Mårten. One of the last bullies I had after me. When he was a teen back then, he broke into buildings, stole ciggerates and alcohol and such... drank a lot, took cars for joy-rides before he had a drivers-licence... He to threw obscene names after me and threw disgusting used snuff after me to... But he, unlike the other three, turned his life around quite quickly. Only a year or so after school he went into the Swedish Army (like all boys between 19-20 years old), and then he went on a mission for the UN. Apparently that changed him, because just before I moved away from the little town, he had come back from said mission... and when we meet? He apologized to me. :-) Only one who ever did, but it was worth sooooo much. :-D

Those three up there are the ones it ended up the worst for. The other guys and girls I have seen around the little town where mom still lives work at factories or in car shops as mechanics... stuff like that. Became parents early in life... Nothing special, really. Driving around in big american cars, trying to look cool in the little town, drinking beer on the weekends... *shrug* I am beyond happy I moved away from there.
