Our family has a unique approach to grievances: if you make peace, you heap coals of fire on your enemy's head'

Give your tormentors so much sweetness that they develop diabetes. To a girl in her early teens, that sounded like nonsense. I was the centre of the universe. Surely, no one had ever been as badly treated as I was! And here my father was, telling me to be nice to them? I would ask: Is this some turn-the-other-cheek rubbish? My father has quite a distinctive cackle, and I heard it in those moments.

Twelve-year ban for 'misogynistic' women's coach

Ex-Sutton Coldfield Town Women's boss Ryan Hamilton used social media platforms Snapchat and WhatsApp to send pictures of his genitals as well as videos of himself masturbating, while telling the women directly that he wanted to have sex in places such as the changing room. It was also said he adopted a "verbally aggressive and bullying management style", which saw him "belittling and humiliating" people to the point they no longer wished to play for the fourth-tier side.

In middle school, I was the textbook definition of awkward: braces, acne, a bad perm, and a body I didn't know how to dress or love. I was uncomfortable in my skin, and I'm sure everyone noticed. One afternoon in the hallway, a boy looked directly at me and said, loudly and confidently, that I was the "ugliest thing" he had ever seen.

Are Bullies Responsible for Their Choices?

It is only in this existential reality of the present where decisions, choices, behaviors, and actions can be initiated. What that then means, in terms of bullying, which only takes place as a choice in the present, is that one can choose to be a bully, or one can choose not to be a bully. Either choice will have consequences, for which the individual will be and is responsible (Falla et al., 2023; Menesini et al., 2013; Purje, 2014).

But it is beginning to appear that, like Elliot Rodger and others--including serial killer Ted Bundy, who in 1978 brutally attacked four college girls, killing two, at the Chi Omega sorority house in Tallahassee, Florida--Kohberger had a big problem with women. He reportedly had been bullied or teased by peers, especially popular females, in middle school for being morbidly obese, and, as a consequence, may have harbored intense feelings of resentment, anger or rage toward those whom he felt tortured him so cruelly.
