Chad-Michael Morrisette was tormented in his Alaska high school because he was gay. That was 20 years ago. Now 34, he hadn't given those days much thought -- until he received a Facebook message from Louie Amundson, one of his former bullies.

Amundson's 10-year-old daughter had asked her dad if he had ever bullied anyone. Being honest, he admitted to bullying Morrisette, which he deeply regretted. Wanting to set an example for his daughter, he contacted Morrisette on Facebook to apologize.
