re: #165 Alouette
I was horribly bullied in elementary school. It had nothing to do with race, religion, gayness. I was short and nerdy and four-eyed and got picked on.
The teachers and my parents didn’t help by telling me “when they laugh at you, just laugh with them!”
Just thinking about it now, I hate them all.
Well, they told me that when I grew up, I would see what a big fuss I made about being bullied, and realize it was no big deal.
I’m thirty-six, and I still might punch out some of those girls if I could get a hold of them.
And you’re about my mother’s age, if I infer correctly…OK, I guess I’m not gonna get over it!
