    Nobody ever laughed in my face or told all their friends or spread rumors about me, they just said no thank you and I moved on.

    I was in college by the time you were in high school, and I totally had friends who had that happen. I don’t know if kids are more cruel now or if you had an exceptionally kind group of peers.
