not something that i can particularly identify with but the fear is felt. i could feel the fear and pain. i could put myself in that situation and understand it. i don’t know how i would be if i were in that situation. would i be as strong? would i be able to overcome?
its ironic but things right now are more similar than when i was in school. i’m very happy that school was an environment whereby i could be anyone. i had not found my way and was still struggling but i did not have to worry about other people. i could cut my hair real short, eat as much as i wanted, run and play around, be friends with whoever. now… i don’t feel at liberty to do the same. I feel the expectations of society and the cliches at work. its because we are older, but there is a subtle form of bullying going on. only that we are older and more able to handle it.
school should be a safe place. a safe place to prepare you for the dangerous world out there. children should not have to feel like they are not safe at school. the adults there are supposed to protect them. its sad that its a reality happening and its sad that not more is done about it.
the one thing that i know for sure, i would never go to a reunion.
