    Ugh, finding out some cute girl had a crush on you after they stop having a crush on you was the worst thing.

    Like when I was 8, this girl was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen, and one day I overheard her saying "Yeah I used to like Marty but now I'm going out with Adrian..."

    ('like' meaning what it did back then)

    And I regretted never asking her out because I had no self confidence when it came to girls liking me, and the idea that she would ever be interested in me was absurd.

    i would've taken an instant shine to you

    because in school i tended to hang around dudes who had attitude and were sarcastic

    and folks who were misfits in general

    i got this thing, even as an adult, where i naturally gravitate towards people who might be rejected by others or looked down on

    i guess that's sorta how i feel about myself, so it feels like i belong with folk like that

    like they can understand me better, and such

    my only friend in middle school was a jewish kid who would insult me when other people were around

    oh, and for a few weeks after this lifelong friend of mine changed schools to mine, until he realized that there were no benefits to my friendship

    it was really heart-wrenching having to dodge my mom's questions about why tim never came around anymore

    i had a friend like this in elementary school

    he hung out with us all the time but as soon as some of the kids he considered cool came around he'd make fun of us and try to pretend he wasn't our friend

    what a shit-heel

    I never made too many friends through school, partly because I had major social skill problems - both in thanks to abuse at home, and to mental problems that were made worse by said abuse - and I just wasn't really interested in most people.

    It's not like I ever felt people weren't worth my attention or some arrogant nonsense, I just really didn't find much common ground with most folks.

    I can two people I was really good friends with between the ages of seven and sixteen.

    The first, Dale, was a kid I met during the summer, whom I liked immediately. Like, for the first and only time ever in my life, I was basically visiting him or he was visiting me on a near-daily basis. He and his brother and I hung out constantly, watching the 60s Batman or playing NES, and it was a blast. But shortly after second grade began his family moved and I never really saw him again. :(

    The second, my buddy Joseph whom I met in high school, is my best friend of nearly ten years. He's got a lot of growing up to do, but he's trying really hard to be independent and he's willing to take risks I could never go through with.

    I've had a couple other friends from those years, and I keep in touch with at least one of them from time to time and I'm very happy to have known them.

    At the age of ten I was probably wondering what a vagina looked like.

    This eventually escalated in a hilarious attempt to seek one out on the internet. I found some porn site through Google, and damn it they censored the vagina with lens flare. I eventually found one after taking way too long, and was confused at the look of the thing.

    jermaine was a great help in high school

    he's two years older and introduced me to the world of girls, parties, and (gasp) this forum

    everyone in ninth grade should be paired up with a cool eleventh grader who is exactly like themselves in two years

    I highly reccomend it

    also he was pretty widely respected as a tough customer so I could just shoot my mouth off willy-nilly and he thought it was hilarious

    you know what was a hard adjustment?

    when i was in elementary school (keep in mind I went to a Catholic elementary school that went from kindergarten to grade 8 so i never had a middle school or junior high) i was pretty well-known amongst kids at my school for my athletic exploits, and for my writing skill.

    then, i got to high school where i am one of two thousand other kids and basically everything i consider myself notable for or skilled at, there's some other kid who is better than me.

    self esteem took a pretty huge nosedive in grade 9

    Another class came in and watched CNN with us. The teacher kind of had to explain exactly what Terrorism was, and why it existed, which must have been hard for her.

    We saw the second plane hit. We were a little to young to really be emotionally effected by the loss of lives, and we were far from New York, but it was still damn scary.
