[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just reflecting on some of the posts in here about roasting, bullies etc and it's making me reflect back on my elementary school days and all the shenanigans I got up to.

I used to walk up to boys, punch them on the arm and run away as fast as I could. Those horrible "How can you tell if someone is Ethiopian" jokes were popular and kids were repeating those constantly. I started sneaking cigarettes in 5th grade!

Of course we were told not to do these things, but I feel like the powers that be understood that [b]we weren't terrible kids... [/b]that we were learning how to be in the world and testing our boundaries.

What are your memories of elementary school?  What were some "bad" things that your friends / class got up to?[/quote]

Yes, you were.[/quote]

I'm truly sorry for you that you think that way.  I hope you don't have children that you expect to be perfect angels, and are horrified when they aren't.  That's a recipe for anxiety and depression.[/quote]

I'm not the poster who previously said you weren't a terrible kid, but I agree with them.  I remember those racist jokes from when I was in elementary school, and my friends and I knew they were wrong: it was the rough, mean, trashy kids who were repeating those.  And sneaking cigarettes in 5th grade was definitely not normal behavior: also rough and trashy.  It says a lot about the type of family you were raised in that you view those things as normal and acceptable.  There were a lot of people in the 80s who didn't, for your information.

Wonder where those mean, trashy kids are today. I think they are still in my small town on public assistance. Probably great grandparents.[/quote]
