Excellently written! Good job! I hope your lunches these days are much better then those of the past. I, for one, would have lunch with you any day!

Hey, I know that lunch room, hid in that same bathroom and feel it safe to say that I also totally understand how you must have felt, writing this. Well done, Momma!

@Steph,

I have seen the movie, but this is very true. Luckily by high school I had moved to a different town and had an easier time. It was the kids that I had known since kindergarden that made me miserable, yet as the new girl I was treated so much better.

Go figure.

Hmmm…this was a good read. I wonder if it is ironic or a character study though. You talk about mean girls and you describe eating in the bathroom just as the main character of Mean Girls does in the movie. All the same, I loved the ending–it really grabs you! So, if this really did happen to you, you should rent that movie!

This was very compelling – I was right there with you, until the very end, when I realized you were eating in the bathroom – which made it all the more brilliant! Well done.

Totally avoiding the actual subject from lack of something properly deep to say, but just because I thought of it while reading: if you put peanut butter on both slices of bread, the jelly won’t get on the bread and make it soggy.

I didn't see that end coming. Man the preteen and teen years are hard aren't they, I'm so glad that time in my life if over. .-= Lisa´s last blog ..Santa Pictures =-.

Gah. I know how you felt. I was the butt of jokes too, although unlike you, I was not shy. All I wanted was to be friends with everyone or, barring that, I just wanted them to LEAVE ME ALONE. Anyway I’m sorry you went through it too! Good job…
