> Once they [the bullies] get away with the bullying the first time, with no retaliation, they continue the bullying every time they get the opportunity to pick on the victim again.

Unfortunately yes. *sigh* I strongly wish that wasn't the case, but by being able to get away with something, it does tend to allow that action be be repeated. And if they get away with it a *lot*, well.... that just makes the action more and more common, or so it would seem. Though that's all I'm going to say about that. (Yes, a short post from me... be surprised. :-P )

> Is there hatred? Resentment? Revenge?

Some of the first at times, quite a bit of the second, but not the third. Although probably in quite different ways then most people who have such thoughts feel.
