I've been through therapy and I'm much better now, but it was hard. For one, I developed early, so I had acne, hips and boobs in 4th grade - a distinction that translates to fat and ugly when everyone else is 75 pounds and you're 120 and 5'8. I was teased for being fat, which just made me get fatter. My skin was really bad all through jr. high which was the worst. There was a guy that used to freeze in place everytime I looked at him like I was Medusa. Then there was a girl in homeroom that made fun of me every day of 6th grade. I hated her. I'm ashamed to admit that she was run over my a semi truck (seriously) in 8th grade and I didn't care. I didn't celebrate or anything, but I wasn't a sobbing mess like half the school. High school got better, not much being made fun of, everyone had their own group of friends. I'm debating going to my reunion. Doesn't seem like a fun time to me. I think its perfectly acceptable to relish in the misfortunes of those who made you miserable. It's only fair. But I'm not bitter... :twisted: I had my fair share of trauma in school.

I think its perfectly acceptable to relish in the misfortunes of those who made you miserable. It’s only fair. But I’m not bitter…

Lord knows I didn't ask to be a 36C my freshmen year in high school any more than than she asked to be flat chested. Anyway, we were cheerleaders together and about half way through basketball season she said, "My mother says girls with big boobs will be fat when they get older." Ok, so I am overweight but trust me, I'm svelte compared to that cow and her BD butt that needs a WIDE LOAD sign on it. When I saw her at our 10 year reunion, I started laughing so hard I had to walk away ROFL - and I wasn't overweight then. Our 40th high school reunion is coming up in 2 years. Do you think it would it be rude of me to say something like, "Well, I see that not only girls with big boobs get fat when they get older?" :devil: TC wasn’t mean, but she was jealous that I had boobs and she didn’t.

As Linda H says, it's not hard to carry a grudge. They're not heavy or anything. Yeah, I took great pleasure at my 10 year reuinon when one of the meanies had a butt the size of Arizona. :-) Just because you forgive, it does not mean that you should forget.

It's good to know I'm not the only person who thinks it's unfounded. :) And you're right. Every once in a while I'll run into someone who wouldn't have given me the time of day before, but suddenly wants to act all BFF to me. Ugh. Ginger, clearly I need to work on the letting it go part. :devil: Marilyn, I'm glad that you refused to help! And you are FAR from having a badonka donk butt. :) Thank you, Kira!

I, being the better person, refused to help. :biteme: It was so nice to see many of them at our 25th reunion and observe the badonka donk butts (love that term!). Of course, my butt is moving in the direction of badonka donk. My 40th reunion will be in 2 years (oh my gosh! does that make me sound old or what???) and if they have a reunion I want to NOT have a BD butt.

Yes, I went through some of that too. I let that go but as an adult I've dealt with that and really, really need to let some of it go. Still working on it. Bad, bad Rhonda.

I completely understand why you hate her! What gets me though, is that the same girls who absolutely ignored me during school now come up to me and gush when they see me. I wasn't their friend then, why do they think I'll be now? Kira I had my share of run-ins with the hateful girls growing up but nothing that drastic. I completely understand why you hate her!
