[quote=Anonymous]I went to elementary school in the 90s in Northern VA.  I also have some memories of preschool (just bits and pieces), also in northern VA!

I have a ton of memories from elementary school....kindergarten and playing on this huge, amazing wooden castle playground.  We had a school meeting and we all sang, "we will, we will rock you". I went to half-day kindergarten and remember making things from macaroni and we did a whole performance at thanksgiving dressed up as native americans (ugg).  I went to a new school 1st through 5th grade in the same district and the kids were really mean.

I was the smallest girl in class and was bullied viciously.  I was severely targeted by two boys on the playground, who tormented me constantly.  One of them pantsed me on the playground when I was 7 and they got suspended for several days and never really came back to class.  The kids NEVER forgot about that and brought it up through high school.  There was a group of mean girls who were awful! I got in trouble for pushing another kid off of me once at school, but my parents pushed back pretty hard, as I was really just protecting myself. I never got in any physical fights, I was just pushed around and mostly it was verbal.

I did have a good friend who had just been adopted from Costa Rica in 1st grade and she spoke only Spanish when we met.  We immediately became friends and we would call people "caca" and giggle, thinking no one else knew what it meant! I didn't know any other Spanish lol.

I remember taking scissors in kindergarten and looking at my long-sleeve turtleneck and thinking about how it would feel to cut my shirt and did a small cut on my shirt....

I approached a boy I liked at a school dance and tried to get him to dance with me when I was 8....
