Something I can totally relate to. It was ...Hmmm. Something I can totally relate to. It was only the 5th and 6th grade that I had an issue - it seems that the biggest girls always tend to "pick on" the smallest ones. I always stuck up for myself and defended myself -and I too, never let them see my tears. <BR/><BR/>I'm not looking forward to the day that I may have to help my daughter with the cruelness of other girls. But at the same time, to a small extent I hope that I do have to - because I certainly don't want her to be one of THOSE girls who weren't nice to me. Actually, in an ideal world - she will be a girl who is kind and nice to everyone - and whom everyone will be kind and nice to in return. <BR/><BR/>I can always hope.....Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747583945280534950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14484567.post-1145456784124188102006-04-19T10:26:00.000-04:002006-04-19T10:26:00.000-04:00I left a lengthy comment here last night, but the ...I left a lengthy comment here last night, but the blog fairy must have eaten it.

I was more than a little stubborn. ;-)Bainwen Gilranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543794290905168511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14484567.post-1145423193763425922006-04-19T01:06:00.000-04:002006-04-19T01:06:00.000-04:00I've enjoyed getting to know our babysitters over ...I've enjoyed getting to know our babysitters over the years. Often we would spend a lot of time talking when I took them home. I told them many things, but the one thing I always told them was this:<BR/><BR/>What you do now will affect your life forever. I know it sounds strange to you when you're young, but you know what all the adults my age end up talking about? What they did in HS or JrHS or what happened in grade school. Think about your choices; make sure they're ones you really want to live with for the rest of your life.<BR/><BR/>I've always found it interesting that no matter how old one is, we always talk about the years before graduating from HS.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what I'd tell the young me, but what I try to teach my girls all the time is that it's not all about them in this life; that their choices matter; that the friends they choose matter; choose wisely; there are consequences to every choice you make: good or bad.<BR/><BR/>Interesting thought, Clew!Amehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14358641966141610513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14484567.post-1145396578340727402006-04-18T17:42:00.000-04:002006-04-18T17:42:00.000-04:00I think you should go back and give young you a be...I think you should go back and give young you a bear hug.

I was like you, the target of one stupid reason after another and never let on the inside. The top dog who usually targeted me, was my own cousin.<BR/><BR/>By high school I had adapted a kick butt additude and no one messed with me again. So much so, that boys who'd considered asking me out were too scared too. My Dh who I dated then, eventually cut through the crap and taught me, it's not what other's think about you that matters.<BR/><BR/>In college I still ran into that back stabbing high school mentality, and to avoid getting sucked in, I just walked away. The sad thing is, those girls of yesterday, are the women of today who still use these same tactics and it's sad, because no adult trusts them or cares to be their friend.<BR/><BR/>And me today, I have a group of friends I'd never trade for the world, who like me, wish we'd known each other way back when.Winter Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106065356231154939noreply@blogger.com
