One day I walked *with* them instead of in front. "Hey guys, that song is getting old. Got anything else?" To my surprise they didn't and after that we occasionally walked to class together. The next year when I was the slowest girl on the track team, the same group would sometimes run with me and encourage me.

I remember when I was in first grade I had a sister who liked to be by herself. She couldn't wait to get home so she could do her homework and read. She was really good at math and always created the coolest science projects. Then one day she came home with her head held high with a look of pride on her face. She had always been smart, and even beautiful. But it was on that day, I think she had just entered middle school, when she realized it for herself. And she gets smarter and more beautiful every day!

Did we go to the same school? I am adopted. I need to ask my first mom if she had twins. LOL! I even had the denim purse that looked like it was made from the ass of a pair of jeans (I also thought this look was very cool) AND the pencils with my name on them. Wow. Our moms should have just made us sweatshirts with "GEEK" beadazzled on the chest. The kids on my bus treated me same as you. The girls went to some extra effort...in art class they made me a prize ribbon that said "fag of the year" and presented the award on the bus. I had the lovely nickname of "Rejecta" instead of Rebecca. Nice. I had eyeglasses. Nuff said. I also had asthma...but it was allergy induced. Dust, grass, pollen...exercise made me breath hard which made me take in more allergens and voila...asthma attack. I was chubby too. And I wore cords almost all year round (mom refused to buy the "right" kind of jeans). I could go on and on. Thank God I left public school after 8th grade and got to start over in a private high school. I also think I have the denim purse still...around here somewhere. Oh holy crap, Lori.

Kids are SOOOO mean in school and I can't believe you had the guts to do that! But I gotta say, it totally reminds me of this bitch who used to threaten to beat me up all throughout grade 7 and grade 8, and finally in grade 9, I just got pissed off and called her on it, told her to do it, cuz I was tired of worrying about it. She made some bitchy remark about how she would and I wouldn't know when, but she walked away - and that was sooooo freeing, cuz then it was me pushing her and she DIDN'T do it.

Way to take charge and reframe a situation. You put it on a whole different footing. I think that's amazing that you could do that so young. Really. Any one could have said something like you said, but not everyone could pull it off.</></>Way to close out your bus-riding career in a blaze of glory! Wow. Way to take charge and reframe a situation.
