Not that I want to be a killjoy or anything, but not all of them want to apologize.
Some will see you in the street and go for you again. Yell; 'Hey, remember what I did to you in school HA-HA!'
Forgiveness happens without your controll, it just happens, you feel it. I cannot "forgive' on command.
I have been bullied, abused and the only ones that apologized, immediately asked for a nude selfie in return for their apology and called me horrid names when I did not comply.
Stalkers have re-started their stalking, 10 years later, people that have forced me to endure horrible moments and tried to stab me, have re-tried to harm me.
And I have punched back this time, told the surrounding people that I was in danger, tried to get away by running, told the police.
I don't want to belittle your experiences or compare bullying and I don't want to suggest your ability in forgiving comes from not having endured a lot.
But I can't imagine forgiving someone that is currently still out to get you or does not feel bad for the horrid things they have done to you, the knifes they have held in your face, the laughter when you cried and the threats of violence or carrying them out.
