Wow, I am so sorry to hear about your experiences, that sucks but it sounds like you came out of it pretty strong! and I like your attitude, at my reunion a girl came up to me and introduced herself, a wave of fear enveloped me as she was one tough and mean broad, i forced a smile and said hi to her, at some point she said something to the effect, 'i've changed a lot since then' and we wound up having a very nice talk, i was so happy she did this, it's proof of what you said, high school was a long time ago and we were all just acting the only way we knew at that time.
