I didn't have that problem but I did feel kind of like an outsider as until I was about 12 or 13 I didn't really have any friends my age. I didn't really want any for some reason. I preferred to hang out with adults or something.<br /><br />But I did manage to enjoy high school with a lot of friends as I think my peer group started to stop being kids. I don't think I ever was. lol<br /><br />But I also can relate to not ever going back to a high school reunion. All the people I want to keep in touch with I do. The rest I probably lost touch with for a reason. <br /><br />You've come out of all that a stronger person and a wonderful individual.Music Wenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004584461266777776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-77254375297810495732010-04-30T14:47:09.927-04:002010-04-30T14:47:09.927-04:00"So, what are ya rebelling against?" &q..."So, what are ya rebelling against?"

All the other kids would want to be friends with US!<br /><br />And yes, Axe, growing up in E. Sandwich was a bit like a King novel, except w/o all the scary shit & gore.<br /><br />Diane - Thanks! <br /><br />Val - Yeah, it's THEIR loss. ;) I've noticed that some of the most cruel of the girls in my class have found 'god' too.<br /><br />WR - Cranberries grow on long vines on the ground, in bogs that are separated by irrigation channels of water. In the winter, they open the pipes and flood the bogs to keep the plants from dying. The water freezes and I used to ice skate on them. Lots of kids in Sandwich learned to ice skate on bogs and ponds before they built the rink in Bourne.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-46249142003820971262010-04-30T12:26:56.013-04:002010-04-30T12:26:56.013-04:00That's a wonderful, bittersweet, honest piece ...That's a wonderful, bittersweet, honest piece of writing...<br /><br />*standing ovation*<br /><br />Cranberry bogs???white rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693920049571164318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-88038663177484966432010-04-29T14:20:57.280-04:002010-04-29T14:20:57.280-04:00It WAS hard to read because I can relate.I agree A...It WAS hard to read because I can relate.I agree Axe,gong into a school makes me feel pretty sick to my stomach.<br /><br /> I see my bullies on FB too,but I can't push myself to friend them.Not even for "spying".I just look at them and think-we couldn't be friends now either (even if I wanted to) because they are still stuck in that town of 800 and I have changed a LOT.<br /><br /> I think the Internet is a gift-because it brought friends to me I would have never met otherwise!I am so happy and proud to call you,Axe,Ann,Madi and Val my friends (did I forget anyone?)!<br /><br /> And yeah-fuck those people because they didn't take time to get to know you (or me or any of us).Their loss.Dirty Soaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401161081617655732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-64590833115356644712010-04-29T14:14:26.085-04:002010-04-29T14:14:26.085-04:00It's so rough being isolated as a child.

I know it doesn't compensate for an unhappy childhood, but it helps you realise that you were not the problem, but the idiots who missedout on having you for a friend.valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784717652044574470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-55412896535873239792010-04-29T12:14:22.590-04:002010-04-29T12:14:22.590-04:00I guess we all end up a product of our life experi...I guess we all end up a product of our life experiences.

Not because of any bad, mean, or cruel thing that happened to you in your childhood and adolescent years, but because WE COULD HAVE BEEN BEST CHILDHOOD FRIENDS!!!

Cause let's face it, they're LAME!<br /><br />I was treated the exact same way, which is why to this day, I hate people and I still get knots in my tummy when I enter my kids' school area.<br /><br />Apart from all the shit, I think you lived my dream childhood. OMG babe, its like something out of a cool STEPHEN KING story.....exactly where and how I would have wanted to live!<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing this.<br />At least now you have cool friends ;-)<br />Friends who can actually see how AWESOME you are!!Axehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872532988118061144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-32661903634128571872010-04-28T22:40:22.823-04:002010-04-28T22:40:22.823-04:00It was hard to write.

I'd been kicking it around for awhile. <br /><br />It's funny though, in re-reading this, it just hit me that I bet those mean girls thought I was like Nellie Olsen or something. They probably thought I was spoiled at home, 'mommy & daddy's little princess.' And I was not like that. I was not a spoiled or indulged child at all. My parents didn't raise me that way. My dad always downplayed his importance in town. We lived simply, they were frugal. I grew up completely and 100% blue collar.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-49539566633498124792010-04-28T20:08:25.009-04:002010-04-28T20:08:25.009-04:00that was hard to read.
