You know Thorgs, You had me thinking about school today. I forgot to mention one important thing. The opposite of conforming was being picked on in school. I think a lot of people were picked on or knew someone who was.
Do you really know why kids pick on kids? Does anyone? I'll tell you from my point of view looking back: Kids pick on others to feel better about themselves. Kids picked on kids because that kid had something that made that other kid feel jealous. For whatever reason....if you were pretty, then they tried their best to make you feel ugly, smarter, to make you feel dumb. And if you had something really physically wrong with you, then the kid (the bully) would pick on that person because they didn't have a chance! That person was easy prey. Not to mention the bully was jealous because that person never stopped living, and learning, and improving. They didn't hide, they tried their best to face life each day regardless of how mean some people were! Oh, that really makes a bully mad! Deep down a bully is hurting just as much as they tried to make those they picked on hurt too! Well, this is one reason I never have attended one reunion in all these years....this walk down memory lane was more than enough! BTW...How do I apologize to all those I mistreated in various ways while I was in school? I can read my own words and they are piercing! Oh great......GG
