Who Is Worse In This And Why?
There is this situation that I have spent a lot of time thinking about. I'm currently a senior in high school, and this happened last year (2020).
Someone in school was an overall ass to me. He would try to take and spread embarrassing photos of me, consistently poke jokes at me, touch my stuff, and overall disrespect me.
One photo of me he spread was of me looking at my crush's insta profile, and it was badly timed. My eyes were closed and mouth was open, and it looked like I was jerking off. He laughed and said the whole school saw it.
One time, I was on my laptop looking at a video called "how to get a gf". I minimized it to look at colleges. The kid came up to me, and in front of me, put his fingers on my keyboard, pulled up the video, laughed at me, and told some classmates in the same room what I was watching.
One day, I even felt very sad at one point (not depressed, just sad one morning due to a recent fight with my parents, not related to him), that I looked up suicide on my laptop. The kid took a pic of me doing so and tried to spread it around. He laughed and said a quarter of the grade saw it.
In June, I impersonated him on reddit and made some awful posts insulting some classmates, and sent that impersonation account to 7 people to try to get it to spread.
I also posted a pic of him on Reddit and pretending to be him, called him by his name, his state, and that he was a pervert.
Also in October, I told everybody how much of a jerk he was to me, and told everyone to stay away from him because of how awful he is. He is complaining that his reputation got ruined. Oh well.
I defamed him on both Reddit and Rawconfessions, giving out his first and last name, as well as saying lies about him bullying kids with Downs Syndrome and him being a pedophile and stuff like that. I also wrote about him being a rapist, sex offender, child molester, and other vulgar things. If you can imagine the worst things one can describe someone else, that was how I described him. I basically pretended to be him writing those things, and some of those things are popping up in the Google Search if you look up his first and last name. I first did that back in June of 2020, before doing some in October, and finally doing some in December.
The posts were taken down, as I was forced to by my parents. When you look the kid's name up on Google, they don't pop up. However, when you look his name up on other web browsers, like Microsoft Edge, Bing, Yahoo, Duckduckgo, among other search engines, both the title and content of those posts still appear.
I had just learned last week that the kid had to go to see a doctor because after I made those posts about him, he lost weight, had trouble sleeping, and lost his appetite.
I feel as though the kid is overreacting to my revenge, because nobody actually harassed him through those posts, and he was able to get into college just fine.
Many people are saying that I ruined the kid's life, however, if employers only look your name up on Google, then you should be fine.
Who was worse?
