At least I've never heard of a popular guy doing it. People really need to let go of the idea that unpopular people are nicer than popular ones.<BR/><BR/>I had something similar happen to me in 9th grade. I went to an all girls high school, and he went to a coed public school. He had some bet that he could get multiple girlfriends at once, so he went around to various groups and asked a girl in them to "go with" him. <BR/><BR/>The next week, he was going after others. I got to hear about it through a gloating "friend." I also heard he got his comeuppance when one publicly and loudly yelled. "No! You're a loser," in his face.Sheila Tonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353632937706232702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37084648.post-14494183776357933272008-03-29T13:34:00.000-05:002008-03-29T13:34:00.000-05:00Junior High School boys can be so cruel.

I loved the image of the beautiful smile of the boy you had a crush on. The memories of those unrequited crushes never seem to die, do they?ChefDruckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581859830585809291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37084648.post-41380056064258365312008-03-28T23:56:00.000-05:002008-03-28T23:56:00.000-05:00Welcome back Ingrid.I think that making sense of s...Welcome back Ingrid.<BR/><BR/>I think that making sense of someone's actions is the stepping stone to forgiving, or at least letting go - the whole 'putting yourself in someone else's shoes' that you speak about early in the piec. When you can't make sense it, that when you step into their shoes it still makes no sense, then the sting lingers on, and on, and on.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to believe in karma and that his cruel boy got what was coming to him and that there is something he can't make sense of that haunts him. Perhaps some shallow girl who used and discarded him with equal disregard.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing something so intimate.Jodi Cleghornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808676742258881407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37084648.post-17332525618667635652008-03-28T12:00:00.000-05:002008-03-28T12:00:00.000-05:00what he did was inordinately cruel.. but taken int...what he did was inordinately cruel.. but taken int he context of a junior high school... it makes it easier to stomach... i know i would never forget,, and probably only half heartedly have ever forgiven such an act where it committed with me as the brunt of the joke... <BR/><BR/>i am only hoping that whatever his name was is equally haunted by his part in all of this....paisleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231453820728399262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37084648.post-89731127149628348482008-03-28T09:26:00.000-05:002008-03-28T09:26:00.000-05:00I really liked your story today and isn’t it stran...I really liked your story today and isn’t it strange the hurtful things that we let gnaw at our soul?
