I actually don't remember much of elementary school, and when I moved back up here (up here being NY, from NC where we'd been living) in seventh grade I actually found friends who were -- oh my GOD -- trustworthy. And despite what a lot of people say about high school, I'm not finding it terribly difficult.

(I try not to think about sixth grade terribly often. It was a bad year in my life for more reasons than just school -- that was the year my parents fought and fought and then at the end of the year they split -- so I think that was part of the reason the kids hurt me so much. Having read through the thread, I realize that what I went through wasn't nearly as bad as it could've been.)
