I have been told by my parents that I was a friendly, outgoing child going in to kindergarten.
I sure as fuck wasn't on the way out. (I was already a nerd.)
I've long since dealt with it. I don't even twinge saying that. But I am pretty firmly of the opinion that the school system tends to greatly underestimate the impact of bullying, conclude based on their actions that they are far more interested in not seeing it than in making it go away, and this has probably contributed to my current deep, deep skepticism about the schooling system as it stands today.
