High school sucked

I hated high school. HATED IT!! It is hard to be a teenager and have no self esteem. I did develop a small group of friends, which was great. But overall, I sucked at being social, and that made high school miserable. I have often said that I am so glad we didn't have the internet back then. The bullying that goes on now is at a whole other level, thanks to the internet, texting, Facebook, etc. I am hoping that by the time Sophie is that age, things will change a little. Probably not.

Sometimes, I still feel like I am in high school. I really like Facebook. It comes in handy when you have family that lives out of state. It is so easy to post pictures and stay in touch. But there are some downsides. I try to mainly have friends on there that I know in real life. Most are in some way related to me, or I know them through church. Only a handful are from high school. I don't have a lot of friends on there, so when one drops off, I notice. And I go looking to see who it was. So today I notice one has dropped off. This person still has the same mutual friends. I was the only one deleted. What did I do? I did respond to someone else with a slightly off color joke, and I used the word "butt" in my status. Other than that, I can't imagine what was offensive. And this is someone I see on a weekly basis. I guess I will just ignore it. I will see if I am treated differently next time I see her. I did notice she wasn't too friendly today, but she is kind of quiet in general. I just feel like crap. Like I am fifeteen again. And I am 43.

  1. Hmmm... I can't figure out who it was based on looking at friends. It's probably someone I don't know or has probably done the same thing to me.

    Do you really want to be friends with someone who is so easily offended? I've "lost" a couple of friends too. I don't have that many friends, but I still can't figure out who left. Oh well, I'm obviously not missing whoever it is that much. :)

    Kinda related story: I got a DNA paternity home kit advertisement on the right side of my screen. I was going to post something like: Why do they advertisement for home DNA paternity test kits? Don't all respectable people know that you go on Maury Povich to solve your DNA paternity issues?

    Then I realized that...well, you can figure it out.
