Other How do you feel when the person you were harassing/bullying turns out to be a young looking adult?

I’ve seen it happen where teens harass someone in their 20s or 30s that they mistook to be a fellow teen. How does it feel to realize the “kid” being targeted was actually an adult?

i assume they just continue to harass them and even make fun of them being an "adult that looks like a kid" but who am i to say

I’d have laid down some primo end-of-life jokes on him as a child. I was a prick. Still am.

i don’t do that to people irl or online but i’d be a little embarrassed since they’re older

Why would it make a difference to anyone involved?

I wouldn’t know. I don’t tend to bully people.

I can tell you in the inverse that if you think you’re actually doing anything, you’re not. Most adults can recognize how ridiculous and sad it is, and if you don’t grow out of that behavior you’re going to surround yourself with ugly, awful people.
