How do you face someone who bullied you once?

Question

Hello everybody, 
i've always had this worry. I was bullied when i first got into this academy at 17. I couldn't cope with the regimentation and constantly felt trapped though i couldn't leave. 
Because of it, i was constantly worried and was unable to make good friends within the academy in the first few months. They bullied me quite badly, and there were times that i would just silently cry. I was transferred out to another department within the academy and things slowly got better.

In about 2 months, we will all graduate and head to university. I realised that many of the bullies will be in the same university as me.

I worry, i don't wish to have any thing to do with them, but i would have to face them again soon. They are massive gossipers and backstabbers. (they did this to me in the academy..) I don't want my reputation in the university to be ruined before i even start. 
I want to start afresh, but find it so tough.

Have you faced an old bully? How did you deal with them?

1. You need to learn to care less about what people think of you. If you need everyone's approval, you will never be happy because you will never satisfy everyone's standards.

2. You should have seeked out help for this problem. Make an appointment with the student counseling center the first day you start school. You will teach you how to deal with this type of problem. They will not go away – and you will learn how to deal with them.

3. In real life, out in the real world when you work, etc. there will be other people like this. You need to learn how to stand up for yourself. I know it is easier said than done, and I was too, bullied when I was much younger. I fought back physically and they never dared messing witn me again.

Best wishes.
