Could you still hold a grudge against someone from primary school?

No. Primary school was 30-odd years ago. None of us are the same people we were then. I would hope we have mostly grown up and matured.

Gosh yes! Kevin Smith smacked my head against a window in the cloakroom in year 6. I've never seen him since school, but just thinking about it now gives me rage. I'd love to see him now and give him a kick in the balls for that day.

There's people that sometimes come up on my facebook as friend suggestions- just the name and a photo are enough to have me blocking them. I never wish to interact with those vile creatures ever again. I was bullied as a child.

One person’s “silly girls’ politics” and friend-stealing is another’s bullying, ostracism and isolation. So yes I guess so! I wonder what she would say you did.

Screw you, Christine, you bullying cowbag. My tween years were hell because of you.

I don’t know about bearing a grudge as such, I wouldn’t still be angry and I wouldn’t wish them any ill at all. Having said that - seven years of seeing someone every day is long enough to be fairly sure that someone is a rotten character and not want to see or interact with them ever again. As an adult I certainly like to think that any child can improve with age, but when it comes to the worst of my childhood bullies I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I still hold a grudge against the girl who said she couldn't play with me because I was handicapped. Those were her exact words and we were 6. 40 years later I'm still not over it. I have seen her once since leaving school, she tried to speak to me but I just looked through her and carried on. She affected my self confidence so much.

I'd love to hear the other woman's version of events. She obviously doesn't remember it as silly girls politics.

Absolutely, if I ever see Eilidh again you better believe I am going to ask for my 10p back.

I will never ever forgive the girl who pulled my pants down in assembly. I see her as an adult and the loathing is still strong

Very fair.

Adulthood, yeah.

Primary school? No.

I think anyone holding a grudge about someone not holding hands with them in the playground or whatever need to let it go.

There was a girl at my primary (unfortunately she went to the same secondary as well) who was a complete and utter cow and I would do anything I could to avoid speaking to her if I saw her in adult life (thankfully I havent)

No chance - no energy to keep that sort of nonsense up.

Oh, I do. I haven't seen her in decades and she only comes into my head when something like this reminds me, but I definitely still hate that absolute cow.

When I was in Y3 I was the only girl in the class not invited to a sleepover birthday party. I’ll never forget how that felt and I’m almost 43 now. So I guess there’s a grudge, but then I was raised in Canada (so should write “grade 3”!) and live in the UK; I imagine it’s unlikely I’ll ever see her again.

I have no idea who I was at primary school with

Two girls in year 7 (so not quite primary) bullied me so badly that I still feel quite sick about it 35 years later. I don't know if I'd recognise them now as I haven't seen them since we were all 12 but I certainly wouldn't want to socialise with them now.

Yes. She was a nasty racist bully and she now works in a job with huge power and weapons, terrifying. I wouldn’t storm out if I saw her somewhere but I wouldn’t choose to speak to her.

You don’t say what you did to hurt this woman so much when she was a child that it still hurts her now. I doubt it’s as funny or unimportant as you imply. Bullying can leave lifelong scars.

I'm nearly 70 and I still hold a grudge against two girls who tried to disrupt my life all the way through Primary and Secondary school.

One of them 'disappeared' during 5th form (she was pregnant); the other I came across as she was living in the locality of my workplace.She wanted to chat away as though nothing has happened,informed me that she had become pregnant by a waiter while on holiday in Greece and asked if I knew of anyone who had any spare sticks of furniture for her new flat! I now regret holding my tongue and being ever-so polite.Ever since bumping into her I have rehearsed over and over what I would REALLY like to say.

Yes, at age 10 Natalie managed to convince all my friends not to be friends with me anymore.

I am now 47, I still bear a grudge, especially when I see my daughter (same age) and imagine someone ostracising her in the same way.

I wouldn't cause a fuss if I met her, I would be brief and polite. But yah, I still hate Natalie.

What did you do to her…?

I’m not sure I’d even recognise anyone from primary school

The mental scars of being bullied runs deep.

That’s so Ross. I shall hate him forever too. ✊

If someone is storming out all these years later, the issues were never “silly girl” to them.
