Bullying in the Sims 4.

I'm ashamed to say this, but, I was a Bully.

I bullied to this guy in my class when we were about 7 or 8. I was really mean, and when I look back on it it makes me want to do over. I was in with the 'It' crowd of my school and I only bullied this guy because my other friends were doing it.

Now, I'm almost done Secondary School and the guy I bullied is my best friend. We do everything together which is quite crazy since it felt like yesterday I was calling him names. He brings it up from time to time and all we do is joke about how stupid I was, and I don't mind that. I was foolish and stupid.

Other then that I've never been bullied. I've been called a name or two on several occasions, but, that happens to us all.

Anyways, back to the actual topic. I'm unsure on this. Bullying is already in every other Sims game to some extent, you can just make one Sim be mean to another Sim all the time. But, I'm not sure if Proper Bullying is right for TS4, I mean Bullying can lead to suicidal thoughts and well-- even suicide, just take that poor girl Phoebe Prince and all the others who have taken their lives because of constant slagging and bullying.

So, I'm unsure. :/

I am glad that you saw the light and set things right with the guy who is now your best friend and that he has forgiven you for it. I myself even had a girl that I knew from elementary apologized to me over FB since we live in different states.

Not only does bullying cause people to have suicidal thoughts but some have taken it upon them selves that they will settle this the only way they know how. And by that I mean that they plan to do harm to others as well as them selves and end the bullying with violence, which is the wrong way to go about it. I just wish people like that could get the help they need before they go and do something that stupid.
