I had a pair of dividers stuck in my leg from one girl. I just felt hugely sorry for them and for myself LOL!<br />However, I decided to immortalise my very first bully in a story by changing her name but keeping the rhythm of it for the rhyme I used to say about her to make myself feel better, which now goes 'Hilary Garner the fat banana'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-56992361000471022572010-10-23T05:04:57.858-05:002010-10-23T05:04:57.858-05:00Half of my junior high school class were hoods.

Unfortunately for me, I had a crush on a cute hoodie guy, and he me. When his ex-girlfriend learned I had his ring, she cornered me in the bathroom and gave me an ultimatum - his ring or a razor across my face, I tossed the ring and he never looked at me again. Sigh!

I was much too caught up in myself and in my books to pay much attention to high school cliques. It was lonely, but ultimately wasn't that bad of a thing. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-80770183838919521892010-10-22T23:31:56.499-05:002010-10-22T23:31:56.499-05:00I had a bully in elementary school. And some just...I had a bully in elementary school. And some just mean kids- not one particular bully, but you know how kids step on the bandwagon. But here's the thing..in elementary school they say it to your face. In Junior high, sometimes its to your face and sometimes its behind your back..sometimes both at the same time. In high school, it's behind your back. Which is better? Luckily I didn't really have any problems in junior high and high school. I was the "sweet" girl that everyone liked- even the popular people- but not enough to be realy close to those people. But I did have my own group of girlfriends and we had a blast together!Abby Minardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963640263845561309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-6811142183229382862010-10-22T20:00:52.380-05:002010-10-22T20:00:52.380-05:00Interesting question, Although I was teased a lot ...Interesting question, Although I was teased a lot in elementary school by the time I got into middle school I was neither a bully or the bullied, I got along with people from all the little groups and really didn't belong to any certain clicks.<br /><br />As for what I called my elementary school bullies, little a**holes was a fitting term that my brother came up with. ;)Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790236600329504315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-37876446361662444532010-10-22T18:43:50.651-05:002010-10-22T18:43:50.651-05:00I actually don't remember a bully.

But, no pressure :))<br /><br />I always thought I was the quiet, shy, under-the-radar, girl in school. But, somehow, I managed to get myself in trouble on occassion. I did a project with a group in Jr. High - we had to sell a "product", do the marketing, ads, what-not. For some strange reason, we picked Ouija boards. Several weeks later (and no offense to either of these groups) a rumor started going around that I was a devil-worshipping lesbian!! Better yet? My own cousin started it! <br /><br />Yeah - can't say highschool was all fluffy bunnies and candy kisses. We had a plethora of "mean girls". And, sadly, ours was simply a rift between "the haves" and "the have nots". Money picked popularity at my school. Kind of sad. Kids can be cruel, especially girls. One of my fabulously talented friends (but, technically a "have not" at the time) told me much later in life that the "mean girls" in jr. high tormented her so much that she had to get therapy. Crazy! I could go on and on, I think. But, I'll stop. Maybe I'll write a book about it one day... :)Donea Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393184831994368021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-23075089810791428582010-10-22T17:42:25.019-05:002010-10-22T17:42:25.019-05:00I loved school until middle school.

I was friends with everyone and a part of the biggest group in school. And, I was lonely as all get go. I had to constantly be aware of what I was doing/saying, I had to do a lot of things I'm not proud of, and I also, was quite cruel to any one who tried to get in my way. I hate to think that I hurt people.

So, there's no chance I would *ever* take an old frustration out on their children.<br /><br />But I do wonder how they remember me ...<br /><br />Congrats on the 900 followers!Dianne K.
