@JamieeTheGreat Why the negative thumbs for this comment? It's true! In Palindromes they talk about how Dawn killed herself

I lived this scene. Transferred from an elite Jewish school in LA, to a 'Christian Academy' (nothing to do with Jesus/everything to do with Football) in Shreveport. My year in Hell, esp. when I wouldn't do sports. But I did weight-train like crazy & came back from a summer in Sweden, tall, 'big', & suddenly muscular, & my bullies suddenly wanted my body (on the DL, of course). But family net worth had tripled & we moved to Mississippi & a bigger house/better school. Not everyone is so lucky.

Dawn looks so sweet.

middle school was the worst and i really dont understand why people act like that but just mellow out later. maybe its puberty that makes everyone act like an ass in 7th/8th grade? who knows.

[oldgreggaliciousss]

this movie wasnt her in highschool, but middle school. same difference though.

@BloodyCatastrophee It's not insane ; it makes perfect sense. If you look at the wider picture instead of blaming bullies and only taking pity on their victims then it's clear that the same social forces which form bullies affect everybody. There is no reason that the victim of a bully will not also bully someone else when they get the chance.
