Would you care if your bully got into Harvard?

<p>sort of a spin off from another thread, but I was wondering how many CCers would actually care. personally, I might be a bit irked for a second, but then I'ld just shrug it off. harvard acceptance isn't the key to eternal happiness. </p>

<p>how would you guys feel?</p>

<p>Oh wow, stressed…I would probably marry him for the legacy status.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think I would because I intend to apply. Say it actually happened:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I get in. Then he could bully me more, or I would have to avoid him. He could stop, though. </p></li>
<li><p>I don’t get in. Then it’s annoying because I (or someone else) should be there instead of a bully.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>The last time I had a bully was 4th grade… he hasn’t been seen since.</p>

<p>Was the 4th grade when you grew six feet?</p>

<p>By the way, if you are still being bullied in college, you may want to consider muscle enhancers.</p>

<p>Not really…the only bullies I’ve ever had would not be the type to be going to any college, let alone Harvard, but hypothetically…still not a big deal. It’d be annoying for a second, but I wouldn’t care.</p>

<p>I’d be mad.
But my former bullies are all worthless now so…</p>

<p>Well that would never happen. The kids who used to bully me are all potheads and/or teen parents now.</p>

<p>I would care. I would care a lot. So much, that I’d concoct a plan that make him cry a thousand tears. Heck, it’d make him dig a hole, cement it over, and then fill the newly made pool with his tears. I’ll cackle so freely. So freely that I’d do a somersault into the pool. Splashing in his tears while he fans me with a palm.</p>

<p>Some huge % of bullies end up in jail by 25, as their behavior is no longer tolerated, so Harvard is unlikely to take them. Mine were social rejects and dropped out, living in a trailer park, or joined the military. If this did happen though, I’d probably think Harvard has no idea what it’s doing and would just be pleased the bully is hundreds of miles away.</p>

<p>Nope unless I too got accepted and had to dorm with him</p>

<p>I don’t think I would really care…(then again, I haven’t been bullied in years). If he/she worked hard and got accepted to Harvard, then he/she deserves to go. Doesn’t really affect me.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t really care because I didn’t apply to Harvard, so it’s not like they’re ‘stealing my spot’ or anything. Also, I’d never have to see them again, so that’s cool.</p>

<p>^ This
Though I’d be moderately ****ed if that person just bragged and expected to be lauded everyday till graduation… (Though their student loan debt makes up for it in ways)
I don’t really have bullies though, just rivals.</p>

<p>To be hoest, if it was as bad as how KoreanArmada described it (or if the bully who got into Harvard was my middle school bully) I probably would feel a bit bitter. When you’re really bullied, your life is spent in fantasies of how the bully will be thrown into a pit of scorpions, or have his/her pants fall down in the middle of the school lunchroom, or go stew in hell for all eternity- it would be pretty jarring to then have your tormentor get something so exclusive and amazing. Perhaps that’s a selfish reaction- I think that people who suffer deserve a bit of self-indulgence, as long as it doesn’t become obsessive.
In the long run, it probably wouldn’t be a big deal, as I have no intentions of ever going to Hahvahd- I’m a Noo Yawkah :). I’d probably rejoice that I wasn’t going to be within 200 miles of the hog for the next four years and start a countoff calendar until summer break.</p>

<p>Yes, yes I would.</p>

<p>Thanks for making a thread to remind me…</p>

<p>Sent from my YP-G70 using CC</p>

<p>Yeah, cause then I’d be stuck with them for another four years. :P</p>

<p>All the kids who bullied me in middle school are still not mean but they’re not nice and they’re all smart. Lucky for me.</p>

<p>I’d be ****ed if he was more successful than me, but not really.</p>

<p>I don’t have a bully because I’m cute and soft and a friend to all.</p>

<p>In all seriousness, I’m not smart enough for Harvard so I wouldn’t care.</p>
