But no, it doesn't change my opinion of her. I base my opinions of people on who they are today... Not who they have been, or what they have done, in the past. It's really irrelevant, when you think about it. Pretty much every nasty / defensive / unlikable person, or even a cruel/"evil" person, has things in their past that explain why they are the way they are... In the end it doesn't really matter.

..yeah I agree with you, it may 'explain' but it doesn't 'excuse' in that the end results are no less to the people she then bullies..they're no less bullied because there is a reason for her behaviour but I just wondered if it would change anyone else's opinion...I will say though that if she was bullied then I hope that she can 'step outside' when watching it herself and maybe realise that she may actually need and benefit from some professional help because I don't think she herself can be a very happy person when she 'dislikes' so deeply...
