Topics: Interview With My Bully, Life News
We’ve just kicked off a new personal essay series called “Interview With My Bully.” In the first installment, Steve Almond calls up the guy who, in eighth grade, launched a calculated campaign of humiliation against him — and ends up getting a heartbreaking explanation for his former bully’s behavior.

Even years later, a discussion can lay adolescent angst to rest and perhaps even lead to understanding — and less bullying for future generations.
