I have been a bully since I was five - going as far back as I can remember actually. You might find that hard to believe; a five year old bully, but believe me, it starts that early.

There was even a "queen bee" - a totally sweet, totally manipulative, totally naughty little b... oh, wait, you mean you find it hard to believe that I was a bully. Well, thank you. Believe it or not, I was a bad, bad bully until I was in 5th grade - something happened, a story I might tell you on another day. We all have either been a bully or have been bullied; at school, work, playground, home and church. Yes, even at church. Religious bullying goes far back.

It's an "either or" statement/question
