There are days it feels that way as well, but it helps for me that I 
moved about 1500 miles away from my tormentors, got married, raised a kid 
(well, for the last 12 of his nearly 21 years now), and became 
successful.  Now when people try to bully me, I just laugh at 'em.  Had 
one guy who tried to bully me (even threatened a lawsuit) and tried to 
impress me with his experience "in his field".

I just laughed.  I didn't even point out the books I've published or 
other accomplishments I had that far exceeded his self-proclaimed 
achievement.  Not worth the time.

Some say that being successful is the best revenge.  I have to agree with 
that....I look at some of my classmates - many of whom were my tormentors 
- and they haven't done so well.  I'll admit to a little schadenfreude 
about it now and then, but generally, I don't even think about it.

Even still, there are days.  The last couple of weeks have been pretty 
rough for me....
