None at primary.
Belinda at secondary. Fortunately I had a great and close group of friends and the attempts at bullying (and trying to get the entire class to join in with her) fell flat. But I still feel a visceral hatred at the mention of the name (and I don't hate many people).

Kelly, Vicki and the ringleader Maureen.

essentialwaitrosesmokedham · 04/05/2026 15:26

I was never bullied

RoseInBloome7 · 04/05/2026 15:13

Joanne …. Made my life hell in primary school.

Interesting that Rachael has come up a few times. There were two Rachael's in my year who were awful, one was the more quiet sly type who teachers loved but she was awful to pupils, the other was a very loud mouthed aggressive type. The quiet sly one seems like she is living a great life now, the other one looked like she was on hard drugs when I last seen her. There was another Rachael in my year who was a lovely girl.

I don’t remember my school bully but her Dad passed away when we were in the last year of school and it took all of the sting out of her behaviour.

She clearly had her own issues and obviously I’d prefer she hadn’t taken them out on me but thankfully it didn’t stay with me.

My older brothers and my parents behaviour though, the level of damage their bullying caused to me that lasted a lot longer and had a much deeper impact on me.

Not at school but had an evil boss called Cathryn. My blood runs cold when I see that spelling. I was warned by several strangers in the profession not to work for her but I needed the job. Gave me comfort that she was evil generally so it wasn’t me!

Emma.
Karma came back to bite her in her adult life and it was truly beautiful watching her suffer

Rachael Sally and Mark. Utter scum bags

Angela. She'd sit next to me in class, systematically and deliberately punching me on my right arm till it hurt all the time. The teacher was unfortunately useless and couldn't care less. I left not long before my 12th birthday to go to another school (where I didn't have to worry about bullies) and occasionally wondered what Angela did for a punch-bag without me there. I don't think she'd have got through a day without laying into someone.

I haven't seen her from that day to this and as it's fifty years ago, she might even be on another plane. If I see her there, I hope it's hell so I can grab a burning pitchfork and shove it up her fundament. I still hate her ever-living guts.

Kirsty, Kirsten and Vicky

they didn’t bully me, but they were vile to a lot of others.

Kirsty in particular, even some teachers were scared to stand up to her. She was the ring leader, the other 2 were just her hangers on

redwhiteroseallgood · 04/05/2026 14:29

Joanne and Jo they were vile to me - one is now a vicar who at only 50 looks like shw is about 70. My son is having horrible issues with 2 nasty girls Bryony and Emily - he has been told by school though that he has to be very careful though at accusing girls of bullying him though as these girs could turn the table on him and say he is being sexualy inappropiate towards them. Teenage girls are just vile!

Rachael. She was vile. Had a side-kick called Laura. Both had that “hard life” look. I am 110% certain that Rachael would have come to nothing. And that makes me feel like Karma was served.

Abigail - which is a shame as it's such a popular name now. A good friend named her daughter that and she's a lovely child but I still struggle with my associations with the name. I guess that's how badly bullies can affect our lives.

Also Jacqueline. I've also been bullied by two separate Jacquelines at work so I consider that conclusive evidence and hope that doesn't have a comeback as a name. I'm suddenly realising that the pattern of "old lady names" being popular means there's a chance I could end up with a granddaughter named Jacqueline.

Although as I write this, I realise I know a lovely Jacq and a wonderful Jackie. it seems to be the full name that causes problems for me (with apologies to all the nice Jacquelines out there - I'm sure you do exist).

Posted too soon.
Sasha has kids by multiple men, married twice and now collects scrap with her drug dealer boyfriend and is also a flag twat.
Stephanie still a fat slag and thinks her shit doesn't stink and thinks everyone should do what she wants.

Dollymylove · 04/05/2026 14:11

Some school teachers should be added to this list imho. Power mad, some of them!!

PersephonePomegranate · 04/05/2026 14:10

Carly x2. Didn't really have anything to do with them but they were nasty little thugs who terrorised the teachers as much as the kids.

One's a coke head now and the other a crack head, so it all turned out well for them - bet they're really glad they bullied any kids who seemed a bit too keen to learn anything for their liking.

Special shoutout to Emma, who liked the take the piss out of people relentlessy and make nasty comments, but didn't really have what it takes to be feared as a bully. 7 or 8 kids with a different father each, drug problems, one child taken away by its father who she's now lost contact with, thuggish partners in and out of jail for DV.

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 04/05/2026 14:08

Camilla (kindergarten). I still can’t believe that a 5 year old could be this vile and cruel

Joe/Jo (from about 13 to 15, I suppose). We met regularly for a shared hobby… It all started when she assumed that I had rejected her crush. Which is rather ironic because I would have loved to be asked out by her (or more like our) shared crush and definitely wouldn’t have rejected him 🤣

The other two were teachers (unfortunately). Nasty women!
One of them was called Gabriela (Gabrielle?), I don’t think I ever knew the other teacher’s first name.
