How should I respond to this facebook message?

[Dance]

Hello. In high school I had friends , but I was not popular due to my "loser" status in middle school. I I even had bouts of bullying that contributed to PTSD that sadly I am still dealing with. Flash forward to the present and I am 21 years old ( so its been a while since high school lol ) , and I have been very successful and accomplished a lot and I am still successful. Yesterday at about 3 am I got a text message on Facebook from a boy who was part of a group of people that behaved very disgustingly towards me. He said" heyy". How should I respond to this FB mesage and wy do you think he sent me this message?
on a side note : he is already my FB friend, has been since high school. I also run a public blog so people see my stuff on FB and they can see my travels etc.

Respond to him.. He probably just wants to make friends and that was a long time when he acted disgustingly towards you who knows maybe he changed (Give him a chance if you feel it)

You just say "Hello" back to him. It's possible that he feels bad for how he treated you in HS and is trying to make amends.

If he wants to friend you on Facebook, friend him. But, for a while, keep him on your restricted list so he doesn't see everything you post. It takes a while to trust someone who has, in the past, been cruel to you, but you need to remember that people change...they grow up. Maybe this is what is happening with him.

Just Say Hello Back its Possible He May Be Trying to Make up For What has Happen in the Past its Possible He May Have Changed

I guess I really don't understand what you want from us here.

You say the guy bullied you through HS, but he has been your Facebook friend since HS. Why would you even have someone who bullied you as your Facebook friend? I would think you wouldn't want this person as any part of your life. I certainly wouldn't want this guy to see a blog that I write about my travels.

Since he sent you the message at 3 AM, I'm guessing that this was "drunk Facebooking" and he doesn't remember it at all. But, the only one who can really answer your question would be the guy who sent you the message. We don't know either of you, so how could we know why he sent the message?

If you didn't respond yet, send your response asking if the message was meant for someone else.
