I owe you an apology. I told you I would write unflinchingly about my school days, but I could not.  Too weak, or too proud, take from it what you like.  I've decided to only journey a bit further into the teasing, because this is not meant to be a sad story, in fact I want to at least take some hope or inspiration from it.  I know it's just an excuse, but at least it's a pretty good one.  In all honesty the kids in my classes were not the worst.  When an odor is confined it becomes even more obvious, confinement such as a bus.  The kids on the bus had different reactions, one girl asked me why I stunk so bad if my parents both had good jobs.  Most of the others were shocked at her audacity and called her a bitch, but most just looked at me with those God awful pitying eyes.  Surely they were thinking along the same lines.  I have a class with one of the kids now, and there is nothing more awkward than if he so much as glances in my direction.  I can hardly bear the thought of what he might be remembering.  Here I have to stop again, I am not some naive little fluffball, I know that life is hard and we all have to suck it up and deal with it.  But, please remember that I am doing this mostly for myself.  I have to make at least one more attempt to find myself before I go mad.  "To find yourself look inside the wreckage of your past."  I think of that now and I'm trying, but at the back of my mind I am forced to wonder, will it do any good at all?

InvisibleFlame The past reflects who you are today. All the good and bad, no matter how numerous or miniscule, make up how we face every day life. Delving into the pain head first may be too shocking, such as diving into a pool...just stick a toe in and inch from there...you're doing great!

CaPlanePourToi Delving into your past can give you sense of why you do things or think the way you do now. But it's my belief [though greatly contested among my cohorts] that you can examine the past, and change your future or you can live in it. For example, there is a girl in my class now that was one of my best friends in grade school. But then, we had a disagreement, and she started calling me "loser" and "uncool" and "I'm so glad I stopped hanging out with her.." blah blah blah. Today, we ignore each other's existance. Now, do we do that because we had a tuff in sixth grade? Or is it because we never made [and probably never will] the effort to make up. It is an unconcious choice to let things in the past effect your vision today.

But you are doing a wonderful job here. Keep going.
