Don't people know that bad karma DOES exist?

Bad Karma doesn't exist. But in my experience, some people change. There were people who used to pick on me during school and eventually I befriended them later on in life.
Believing in karma is actually somewhat dangerous, in my opinion. If you believe that people are just inherently bad and will suffer for their actions, you're going to hold grudges and never learn to accept their flaws.
Reputation, however, is a thing. I've seen first hand that how you treat people - and I mean deep connections - affects who comes to your aid and who leaves you for dead when shit hits the fan.

...what?
From your own link:
"...it also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect).[2] Good intent and good deeds contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to bad karma and future suffering.[3][4]"
Karma would be... If you were getting bullied, it would be karma for you having bullied other kids in your past life. So if karma was guna do anything to these assholes. It will be an unsuspecting innocent kid having bad things happen to them because of their foul deeds in this life. Karma sucks. Everyone should hope is doesnt exist.
What is your objective with this thread? What is the context for this? Why does karma exist? How do you know? And is there any proof?
This isn't proof.
But you should. Otherwise, I would have to agree with Orb.
Karma does not exist, at least there is no evidence of it anyway.
Being nice does not mean nice things will happen to you and vice versa. You could be the nicest person on earth and bad things will still happen to you.

Sorry, but I have to ask this: what is "being too nice"? Could you clarify that?
There is a reason I ask this, not because to make fun of you OP, but the language you use does raise some suspicions and I want some more context.
Don't worry, I'm not a licensed psychologist.

That's just the law of averages, you be a dick enough times, another bigger dick will eventually come along and put you in your place.
OP
OP
Examples:
Usually, I would be minding my own business, & try to make friends with people, but they don't want to be friends with me. They would usually call me names like retarded, special, etc. just because I was born autistic.
I even had a bully when I was in the 8th grade, & he had always threatened to beat me up for no real reason.
Closest thing to karma irl, but its still possible to get away will bullshit and nothing will ever happen to you or vice-versa.
Based on your op.
Maybe your bad experiences are karma from your pops being a bully? Would you accept that?

right
and how were these people affected by karma?
unless you can show the universe magically punishing them for what they did, you haven't proven that bad karma exists
Not sure what this has to do with the concept of karma. People can be cruel, but their cruelty is not an assurance that they will ever "pay" for that cruelty.
Seems like you're wanting to vent for people being unkind and unaccommodating, which is fine, but it's not karma.
I've lived and learned throughout my life that karma doesn't exist. There are bad shits, I mean horrible fucking shits that has happened to people who are generous, friendly and always thinking of others.
Okay troll thread didn't cross my mind at all before but this has to be one now. What does any of this have to do with bad karma existing, you just listed people doing bad without anything bad happening to them.
I hope you do not claim to be an atheist. Because while you don't claim to believe in the abrahamic god, the Karma you believe in is a god. And just like the abrahamic god, there is no evidence for its existence.
As far as we have observed there is no fundamental force of justice in this universe.
Also if there was a force which punished children for the wrongdoings of their parents as you claim it would not be just. It would be evil. (Imagine for instance that the hardship you are going through now has been brought about by a Karmic force for the actions of your parents before you were even born.)
Finally, what do you mean by "enough is enough"? People usually say that when they are planning to take some action?
