I was shy and nerdy and was happy to gravitate to the different kids. Except one time in New Zealand when we went to a very small school and purely through small numbers I was part of the cool crowd for one weird year. I didn't like it. So much pressure, so scary!Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-2645674767029496442013-06-24T22:51:21.680-04:002013-06-24T22:51:21.680-04:00We adults look back at childhood with selective me...We adults look back at childhood with selective memory. We try to believe that it was all so easy and that children have no problems. In reality an awful lot of it sucked. And if we're honest, some of that baggage is still with us.Cynthia Meentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775952813637311480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-55696910982424123312013-06-24T20:56:22.399-04:002013-06-24T20:56:22.399-04:00When I taught the at-risk kids, I noticed it was a...When I taught the at-risk kids, I noticed it was always them who sought out the new students and offered them a seat at their lunch table. Some accepted, and some haughtily declined.<br /><br />I don't so much think they were trying to gain a new member, as they knew what it was like to be shunned and didn't want anyone new to go through it.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-18095200097971160682013-06-24T16:33:57.230-04:002013-06-24T16:33:57.230-04:00OUCH !OUCH !Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398370059689865989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-72454294202587072972013-06-24T16:22:27.344-04:002013-06-24T16:22:27.344-04:00That was YOU!
