I'd like to stamp out all bullies but there are levels of bullying and the very minor, gentler bullying can be very funny. As long as you can take it in later life when the worm turns and you're suddenly not cool anymore!debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676106481922716013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219893403749598598.post-49702788332276058932011-03-20T09:28:46.122+00:002011-03-20T09:28:46.122+00:00My background is European and when I went to schoo...My background is European and when I went to school every kid was fifth generation Australian. I was a wog and a lumpy one at that with stinky food in my bag. School was shite. I went to six primary schools. Thankfully only one high school. I was a socially inept kid.<br /><br />Not popular at all. Not confident at all. But that is okay because it could be worse. I know people who were so popular and confident at school and never had the desire to grow and improve as individuals. And that is a sad state of affairs when people just never move out of that teenage headspace. <br /><br />And sometimes people you think were cool were full of the same angst as yourself. They just hid it.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392205573326695683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219893403749598598.post-45313349922972297652011-03-19T21:32:58.893+00:002011-03-19T21:32:58.893+00:00Saraphic - It's funny when you see how people ...Saraphic - It's funny when you see how people change for the better outside of their school years.

I laughed a lot at the dog shit story, as I remember walking teracotta mousse (the dog that laid it must have been ill!) into my friends house, all over their new carpet.<br /><br />I didn't have a very good time at secondary school. I was painfully shy and really didn't know how to stick up for myself. I have certainly made up for it since though!

I had Sarah on the phone then as her internet's down so I was reading her this post and we were laughin A LOT at just how divvy i was...<br />then I went "ooh someone's commented"! and it was you aww <br />I read your comments to her and we got all sentimental and ooh'd and aah'd. <br />Char is NOT down to earth!!! hahaha She makes awful comments about peoples hygiene and eating habits on public transport! She is very very funny though, agreed! You're BLOODY COOL NOW THOUGH AINTCHYA? x x xdebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676106481922716013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219893403749598598.post-42813718394612238342011-03-16T21:44:15.277+00:002011-03-16T21:44:15.277+00:00I remember you at school lady (Cough cough - I won...I remember you at school lady (Cough cough - I wont keep bring up the fact that you do not remember me!!). You were funny and cool compared to me!! I felt very dowdy and uncomfortable around Sarah, you and Char. That is, however, until I took a class with Char (Science)and found that she was the most down to earth, funny, friendly person I had had the fortune to talk to! That was a real eye opener to me. The pre conceived ideas about people completely vanished and I began to operate the (still very much used) "take as you find" approach to new people. It is great. No-one gets under the radar!! black, white, fat, thin, smelly or clean! Everyone gets a fair crack of the whip (and possibly a tactful bottle of deodorant!) I have found that this open-mindedness that I have has helped me accept everyone.<br /><br />I hasten to add though, how I still have no radar for bitches and users! I have had my heart broken by people who have treated me badly. I am soft and generous - I admit that. I love to make people happy - sometimes to my detriment and unhappiness. These unfortunate beatings to my heart have made me a wee bit cynical these days. I find it much harder to trust people but still - as always - wear my heart on my sleeve!<br /><br />In short, Sarah was the girl we all wanted to be at school but for her popularity, confidence and must have wardrobe, she has stayed a down to earth and lovely person. That, in itself, is the best thing about confidence, the ability to be a true mate and confidante. How wonderful is it to know that you make a friend happy? whether you make them physically laugh, or do something nice for them or just let them know you are there for them?! It's the best thing in life for me.... :)<br /><br />PS - Love reading about your school experiences which were, quite obviously, SOOOOOOOOOOO different to mine!!!!!!sphillips05https://www.blogger.com/profile/07687116932262243281noreply@blogger.com
