Dude, Sounds like you were old enough to understand that almost burning down your school intentionally, multiple times, was bad. Bullies or not. I’m not sure why you’re taken aback by someone thinking a little arsonist in training isn’t a good kid.
IIRC constant abuse tends to ‘reset’ the brain to earlier points of development where there was no abuse as it attempts to find less painful behaviour patterns. This results in delayed development of certain areas of the brain; most notably the prefrontal cortex that is heavily involved with decision making and social behaviour but that isn’t fully developed until one reaches ~25 years old so I don’t know what you mean by “should be old enough to understand” because they clearly weren’t physically capable of it.
Source is introductory psychology courses. One of my professors is a researcher in child development and worked a lot with kids like the person you’re replying too. Treating them like “pieces of shit” just leads to more damage, so chill out.
Brick buildings still burn. There’s flammable paint, contents, furniture enough to ruin a brick building.
Although found it interesting that my niece got in trouble for hanging curtains in her dorm room. Apparently that’s one of the places they have strict fire codes
Hopefully you’re less of a piece of shit now
Woah
Dude I was like 12 and severely bullied haha I’m a grown up now with a mortgage and a job
I feel you. I suppose a lot of people can’t imagine what it was like.

It never burned down just ruined the microwave
You literally said you nearly burned the school down multiple times.
Exaggerated obviously. The school is made of brick it wasn’t going to burn if I tried
Ah yes, there’s famously never been fires in brick buildings.
You knew your actions could easily lead to a massive fire and loss of life, you said so yourself, and still you chose to do it repeatedly anyway.
Now you don’t seem to be showing much remorse, which is unfortunate. I guess I just hope you’re a bit less of a piece of shit.
