Do bullies get karma?

Hi, I've been bullied and know people who have been. There is a real impact on self confidence and victims move on, albeit slowly, to better things having suffered.

What happens to the bullies? Do they ever learn and grow or do they stay in the same pattern? Does karma, perhaps not the right word, ever happen to them? They seem to have support

Actually I’ll be honest: she does hate herself. I wonder if she always did ?

I wish I knew, but I suspect not.

There was an absolutely vile little bully in my form at senior school - she was a tiny little thing, too, with the most poisonous tongue.
She went on to be a primary teacher ? - I’ve often wondered about the poor children who very likely suffered under her.

True Karma for her would have been having her own children - if she had any - bullied in the same way, not that I’d wish that on any child.
