I don’t think I’ve ever experienced revenge but I don’t think it solves as many problems as it creates most of the time.

That’s true, revenge tends to link and continue problems.

I never had a moment where I needed to act on revenge over anything. Mostly because I don’t believe in taking revenge because it seems pointless most of the time. Maybe there are instances where revenge may comfort the pursuer but the instant usually passes.

I have come to realize that it is easier to walk away from situations that aren’t going to help me, it has made my revenge eagerness subside. Now I don’t take any action.

I agree, revenge doesn’t solve any important problems. Most times it even makes you feel worse. The only instances where revenge even has the possibility to solve a problem is if that problem was ridiculous in the first place.

Revenge causes more problems then it’s worth. Why would you want to spend that much time plotting against someone?

I tried to fight my ex boyfriend in the parking lot once, it ended up making me feel even angrier, it definitely did not make the situation any better but it made it to where no one wants to see me angry...

My brother poured a glass of water on me so I dumped a five gallon bucket of water on him. He hasn’t tried anything since so I think it solved the problem.

I can remember a time when I got revenge in my little sister. She used to think it was funny to scare me with fake spiders so I put a stuffed snake in her bed. She went to bed that night and found it and started screaming. My revenge tactic worked pretty well because she hasn’t teased me with spiders again.

I experience revenge all the the time. I’m usually the one who gets revenge. The causes are usually people doing things just to be rude or cause problems and usually it does solve the problem.

About half of every encounter between my eldest sister and I had to do with revenge. It verried between me getting revenge on her and her getting hers on me. We both just weren't very good people when we were younger. Revenge didn't fix anything it just made sure that we didn't have a very good relationship. I think the thing that fixed our relationship was her moving out.

One time my brother waited for me to get home and jumped out of the pantry and scared me. So the next day, I hid a Bluetooth speaker in his room while he was sleeping and started playing screaming sounds. I was the one getting revenge. It did solve the problem. He didn’t try to scare me again.

There was this one time in middle school basketball were I got stuffed by the biggest kid on the team and he believed he was high and mighty cause he blocked one of the smallest kids on the team so when he shot a layup I stuffed him from behind and called him some vulgar names, especially for a middle schooler, for being stuffed by one of the smallest kids. And then we got in a fight and were both suspended. So in the long run it only made matters worst.

One time when I was little my sister was being really mean to me and I got in trouble. Moments later I had seen this toilet cleaning commercial that used this little scrubby brush to clean the edges of the toilet bowl. Well it gave me this bright devious idea to scrub our toilet with her toothbrush. Needless to say she never found out. I wouldn’t say that it solved the problem but it sure made me feel a lot better.

I’ve probably been involved in getting revenge but none that I can think of. At the end of the day the problem was most likely not solved.. just made worse 😂

Revenge is not the best way to go with some situations. It can create more problems than when you started. It also can make people look at you differently. Revenge doesn’t solve problems but rather cause more.

Revenage is doing something to get someone back for what they did or vise versa. In the end the problem never gets solve just make it worse 2 wrongs doesn’t make a wright.

I’m not sure if this really counts, but one of the times my sister locked me out of the house, I left and went to the neighbors house and ended up staying for 3 hours picking plums with her. My sister got into a bunch of trouble because my mom got home just as I was turning into our driveway and she asked what I was doing and I told her roughly what happened.

I remember one instance in fifth grade where a girl I had formerly considered my best friend had told a girl who bullied me about an extremely person and sensitive matter that was taking place in my life at the time. I found out that she had been telling her about it at a party and I slapped her in front of everyone at the party(it left a welt for like 2 days). It felt great at the moment but afterward I realized it hadn’t solved the problem and that what was already done couldn’t be undone so I should have just let it go.
