I'm so glad that you've reached the point where you understand your own value, because that's something that once fully seated, no one can take from you. <br /><br />You are an amazing, accomplished woman, and I've never seen you be anything but open and supportive to those around you. I have to wonder how those who were so mean feel about their actions today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619147101584456392.post-16618769538113878752011-11-03T11:53:38.332-07:002011-11-03T11:53:38.332-07:00I believe all those snubs and emotional bruises he...I believe all those snubs and emotional bruises help us to be better people, later on.

My parents moved there so that my sisters and I would have a better childhood than in the city. I also believe that my parents wanted more peace of mind than the city offered. Anyway...most of the kids were from surrounding dairies or ranches, or just plain people. There were popular kids, but mostly they were popular because they were just really nice kids and southern hospitality did not allow for cold, calculating meanness. I wish every kid could have the childhood and teenage environment that I had. Popularity is only good in the way I was blessed to experience it. After my move back to the city as an adult, I saw the ugly side of popularity in the workforce. Getting stomped while someone else is climbing the career ladder stinks. I can proudly say that I never stomped on anyone while I climbed the career ladder. The popular people who hurt others have a character flaw...plain and simple.Darlene ~Bloggity Blogger~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08202901408911879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619147101584456392.post-35828919091970857402011-11-02T21:45:52.680-07:002011-11-02T21:45:52.680-07:00High school can just be hell because kids wanting ...High school can just be hell because kids wanting to impress the so called "in crowd" try to do it by being mean or bullying other kids.
