A gay guy has done what many of us, no matter how old we are, would be terrified to do: call up your childhood bully.
Plenty of us, whether we’re LGBTI or not, didn’t have the greatest childhoods. And whether you were called names or beaten up or even just made to feel small by your classmates, those scars can last a lifetime.
Riyadh, a YouTuber from Ireland, said he wanted to be the ‘guinea pig’ for all the people out there that were bullied at school.
‘[I wanted to show] that after time passes, your bullies just end up being normal people. They’re not evil. It’s not a scar that should be there for ever,’ he said.
The actual conversation is intense, but only from Riyadh’s point of view. The guy who used to torture him thought ‘everything was alright’ between them in the first place.
But when it ends, Riyadh says: ‘I don’t think that could have gone better than it did. He was genuinely sorry and I don’t think he even realized the affect it had on me and even the effect it has on me now. It was very cathartic.’
