Hey Nels!

Some would take this yet another illustration of why it may be far better to practice self-exclusion by becoming a stoner or a goth or spending those years in a detention center with the truly cool people.

But whatever. It is an awesome story written in a way that allowed us all to relate to your experience. Excellent job!

Yes, there’s a unique quality to that age… maybe it’s natural.

Perhaps we’re all horrible to each other to see just how far we can push other people before the relationship breaks. Sort of an awful gauntlet we have to run to harden our shells for adulthood.

Or maybe we all just watch too much TV.

Middle school was the most miserable time of my entire life.

Hated it.

At least you learned that lesson about women way back then, I still haven’t learned it and I’m 29.

There are absolutely no crueler people in the universe than kids in middle school. They are truly amoral and vicious in an almost innocent way. I don’t whether the girls are worse or the boys, but it doesn’t matter. Both sexes have a horrible time of it, even the popular ones.

A miserable time was had by all.

Great story.
