I doubt there were many who enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>Captain Dumbass - Yeah, hindsight's 20/20 and kids will be kids. It's tough to be strong when you're staring an opportunity in the face. But I am an adult. And my profession has a Code of Ethics, so that makes it easier. ;)<BR/><BR/>And Giselle? See, that's another reason why Steenky is awesomesauce!

Unfortunately, they did realize how much pain they were inflicting at the time. Some people aren't raised properly, and they don't learn to care. Kids can be mean, and sometimes that's how it is.<BR/><BR/>Sheri and George - Yeah, Jr High can be really hard. Glad you got your payback!<BR/><BR/>Mama Dawg - Thanks. I don't often go all dark, though it's happened a couple of times the last couple weeks. I'll try to avoid it for awhile. ;)<BR/><BR/>Lacey in the Sky - I'm sure that as adults we all can see things we did that we should have done differently. You seem like a sensitive soul. If you can't remember doing anything specific, chances are good you didn't.<BR/><BR/>La Pixie - Really, it was a long time ago. You don't forget, but you move on.<BR/><BR/>steenky bee - Sadly, not a supermodel. And why not?! I totally <I>should</I> be a supermodel.<BR/><BR/>Gwen - Thanks for the compliment. Sadly, some kids are just jerks. I happened to go to a school filled with these people. I guess they sort of find each other, huh?<BR/><BR/>Jen - No, there really aren't, are there? It was a long time ago, though. It just came out for the writing assignment. I'm really quite well over it nowadays.<BR/><BR/>Dawn@Embracing the Ordinary Life - I don't think we ever forget these experiences. But you're right about the best revenge. Who could really ask for more?<BR/><BR/>Ashley - I'm sorry you got picked on at some point, but glad you have realized it isn't okay. I'm sure you will raise your children right, and they won't bully other kids.Momma Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047263656994476297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971422.post-21432517710853122192008-10-30T21:17:00.000-06:002008-10-30T21:17:00.000-06:00Wow, I'm sorry to hear those years were rough.

But when the tables were turned and it was I who was being picked on, you bet my attitude changed.

I don't think I was ever a mean kid, but I know I likely said SOMETHING that hurt someone's feelings and thinking that they may still remember it makes me wish I could go back and try again.(& that's just assuming I hurt someone's feelings at some point!)

I did get my payback though when going back for a high school reunion many years later.
