[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was horrible.  I don’t know why, but I got almost a high out of excluding and making certain kids feel bad.  My friends were the same, and we were specially vicious if we felt “wronged” in some way, even if it wasn’t the other person’s fault.  If a boy my friend liked happened to like another girl, that other girl would become the victim of our torment.  We were so subtle about it so we wouldn’t get caught.  Since I was an excelling student plus played two sports I was popular and most people thought I was nice and teachers really liked me. Once a girl told on us (we had been harassing her for a while) and we all banded together and said it was the other way, that the girl was obsessed with us.  I think the principal believed me, she really liked me.  A million years later I still feel horrible about how I was.  I really changed in college because I befriended some seriously great girls with good hearts.  I am a super friendly adult and always inclusive, and I teach my kids kindness.  It is hard to know why I was the way I was.  I was smart, pretty, very popular, athletic and had supporting parents. I should have been a great teen, but I just had a mean streak.[/quote]

My group was like this and my BFF was like you. I was stressed every single day because she was merciless with those she didn't like. It made me sick to my stomach, but I was too chicken to say anything. She grew up toward the end of HS. We are still very close and she is an amazing mom and person. I think she goes the extra mile to make up for her behavior in MS and HS.[/quote]
