Nevertheless, I am also reminded of my own high school years. It was horrible. But I must admit, some girls had it worst than me. After awhile, bullying and harassment got so bad; I didn't even want to go to school. But hey, I had no choice. I had to go to school. It was the law.
Well, this weekend I'm watching a life time movie about a lady who plotted to kill her daughter's cheer leading school mate. Watching the girls cheer made me think of something I saw when I was in high school.
Now don't get me wrong, nobody's parents tried to kill a student, but I remember watching another student being bullied who had just made cheer-leading try outs.
One day we had a pep rally. So when the new recruits ran out on the field; other students critiqued who should and shouldn't have been on the squad.
Now there was this one girl in particular who a lot of other students didn't think was worthy to be on the team. For the sake of privacy, let's just call her Amanda.
Now I must admit, Amanda was not an athletic girl. And I was pretty shocked that she wanted to be a cheerleader. I guess she never struck me as the type. But any who, she made the cut.
During one of their routines; I saw about three of the high school bullies shining their mirrors in her face. We were outside and of course the sun was out. I nudged one of my friends on the arm when I saw it. "Can you freaking believe them?" I asked. My friend just shook her head in detestation.
One of the mean girls, lets just call her Shelly; I don't get the feeling she really wanted to participate with her friends because she had her mirror turned down so it wouldn't reflect the sun. But she had to go along with the rest of the group if she wanted to remain in the clique.
She probably felt bad because had her evil side-kicks not been around; I think she was friendly to Amanda otherwise.
It was so disgusting to watch. I hate bullies!
