    That I “wouldn’t ever amount to anything and I would be a loser for the rest of my life”.

    in her defense, she didn’t tell me. I overheard her talking about me to her daughter who went to the same school.

    funny enough, it instilled in me a passion to deny the perceptions of those around me. it made me realize at an early age that adults are pieces of shit that don’t deserve the respect kids give them and to make the bad ones lives a living hell. unfortunately I learned only to push myself forward on anger and hate. I eventually got my shit together in college and now make more than she ever did doing what I love.

    she was my 5th grade teacher. I was 11. her daughter was 15 and a freshman in highschool. her daughter was a bitch to me too…wonder why…

    now that I’m an adult I seek out bitches like them and put them in their place. no child should ever have to go through the years of hate eating them up like I did.

      Don’t think you don’t amount to anything. You come off as a nice person, the best kind of person. I think of it like this; if you were a loser (and you’re not), those two are cheaters. One’s biggest fear should be becoming “professionals” like them.
