Hard to realise then how clever she was - and although mum & dad went to the school, much was put down to "teenager" life.
Children are amazingly clever AND cruel, how viscious - they learn so early how to wield power over others for the fun of it. I'm very sorry this happened to you - no one deserves to be bullied and tormented. (The worst part about it in school - you see them every day, there's no escape.)
I know I run away first so I can't be thrown out of the group ... Like Marcie in season 1, I want to be invisible, as I was when I was at school.
I have this awful pattern of shutting myself up, wanting to belong but not knowing how to, or doing so then dropping out. I identified with Marcie as well, except the difference was that she complained that she was invisible, I wished I were so people would leave me alone!
College helped as I had a good group of friends, but casual contact is still impossible.
That's me almost exactly.
And what in the world is this nonsense about "poor English skills"? Morons - your language skills are just fine in my book!
I have been to his "days" he has done in London, but they are more structured ... but I'm going ... and hope I remember to breathe while I'm there!
You'll be fine, I'm sure! I do hope you have a lovely time and yes, breathe deep when you need to.
Oh how I would love to go to London someday! I want to spend a lot of time at the V&A, if I ever get the chance.
there is so much here I don't have room for another person's things!!
