I wear Abercrombie...does that make me a bad person? I'm a hard-core vegetarian, I listen to Simon and Garfunkel, Grateful Dead, and a bunch of punk bands. But I still wear Abercrombie. I have never made fun of the way anybody dresses because when I was a child, I too was mocked for the way I dressed, and believe me, I went to a terrible elementary school (very snobby). The only reason I wear Abercrombie is because I have an incredibly unusual size and Abercrombie is the only store that has jeans that fit me. I don't shop there because it was the "thing to do" way back when, I shop there because I absolutely love their jeans. Not that I really need an excuse. So what if I shop at Abercrombie?...does this make me a bad person?

Well - I am sorry, I didn't realize you had such an awful experience. I still have one criticism however: Why are you letting those kids get the better of you? I understand that there are plenty of traumatizing things in life that happen to everyone, and especially during childhood it can be especially difficult. But why let what a few braindead losers said to you make you an angry and "fucked up" person? There are millions of people who are made fun of - and this may be shocking, but to an even worse degree than yourself. But everyone doesn't let it ruin their lives. They beocome stronger from it, move on, and become better people. Now, judging from your other entries, you're no longer alone. You obviously have a boyfriend who cares about you, and you have your friends and theater group. I say enjoy them for the next 2 and a half years of high school. It's a pointless time in everyone's life - but it can be a great time too. You seem like a very intelligent person. Don't let a bunch of skanky rich kids ruin everything

I'm pretty sure that this is just what people try to do. Sure, everyone wants to "grow" because of these kinds of experiences, but what 1st grader (or even the average high schooler) really knows how to do that? Sure, this type of growing takes place during and after high school, but few people can take being badgered and picked on when it happens over and over again
