I agree with a lot  of what you said and I am happy for you but I would like to comment on the following:

The best "revenge" (for want of a better word) is to live happily and not let them see they have gotten to you. They will get bored and move on.

If the bullying is serious enough, there should be consequences.   By showing them they are not "getting to you", as you said, will most probably make them continue this behaviour towards another person.  I dont see that as a solution.

The Australian Human Rights Commission addresses this issue here:

The Commission is interested in identifying safe and appropriate ways to support people who want to be defenders of, or stand up for, victims of violence, harassment and bullying. This is important as some people feel uncomfortable witnessing bullying but may be unsure what to do to stop bullying happening.

Active bystanders can play an important role in stopping bullying. This is because:

bystanders are often present online when bullying occurs bullying behaviour is reinforced where people watch or are present but do nothing when bystanders intervene, bullying is more likely to stop.

Bullying is everyone’s problem. If bystanders take safe and appropriate action to stop bullying, this allows all of us to be part of the solution to bullying.

It's up to everyone to create a safe environment and we can all help. Motivating bystanders to act when they witness bullying is now being promoted as a response, whether in schools, workplaces or more broadly in the community.

As to the OP,  something is obviously bothering her,  if this is her way of dealing with it....well....

and Iza if it is something that the posters here can help you with, you need to ask, be more specific......you never know,  maybe its something that can be sorted out.
