I have to laugh about it. The ignorance and shallowness of it all.
Throughout high school I was the overweight gothy smart kid. I had hardly any friends. The ones I had were losers like me and therefore tortured just as often. And it was sad, really, that nobody wanted to see our potential. One of my best friends was an amazing artist. He moved to Seattle right after graduation. Another had the voice of a nightingale but knew she would be harassed in choir. She sang to herself during lunch. I haven't heard from her since senior year. And another produced the best poetry I have ever read outside of a hoity toity classroom.
