I am so glad I'm not a teenager.

She's a great artist.

I have my freshmen do journals, too, mainly for in-class exercises, and one of my students wrote an entry in French, I guess thinking I couldn't read it. It was all about how sad she is, and how she doesn't have any friends and people don't like her. It was pretty sad, too.
Poor kid. Junior high is totally like that.

I got picked on a lot when I was in middle school. But I think it made me a stronger person, not to mention I learned a lot about the superficial nature of people when I got contacts over the summer, and when school started back everyone treated me totally differently.
Matt - In 9th grade, I had to get new lenses for my glasses, and since I wasn't getting new frames, I had to go a few days w/o my glasses (and w/o being able to see...). This was before Lake City got a 1 hr optical place, obviously. Anyway, I remember that when I got my glasses back, a guy in my PE class said to me, "Oh, I thought you'd gotten contacts. You looked so hot without your glasses." Oh, what a blow at that age!
Glenn - If my Freshman English 101 professor had asked me to submit journals, they would have been unbelievably depressing. Just ask Melissa - she was the recioient of most of the utterly depressing crap I wrote back then.
