Thinking
back to my adolescence experience I became prejudiced
towards cheerleaders, Associated Students, those groups of
kids who seemed to have it all. This happened because I was
always teased due to my weight (very skinny). Other kids
called me names and made me feel miserable. Then I looked at
those students who seemed more attractive and had more
friends and I envied them. I used to think very negative
about them and criticized their actions.
The teachers seemed to not care or not notice what was going
on. I felt they did not do anything to resolve the situation
when kids did not want to pick me for their
team.
