GN, im sorry it got THAT bad. Once I hit high school, it was no longer just Lincolnwood. It was Morton Gove and Niles too and everyone hated the snobby, rich, flaunting Lincolnwood kids so things improved for me. I also got very pretty and that matters when one is a teen. I wasnt popular. I didnt want to be. But I was left alone and kept to myself and I had a good friend with a big mouth so the bullying stopped.
Damage from eight years of bullying from my own mother, kids and teachers had taken its toll. I gave up trying to do well in school. I started having depression and bad panic attacks. I cut school. I enjoyed attention from boys, but couldnt keep one because I was dead set on being a virgin when I got married. So sometimes I was lonely. Im surprised I didnt drop out. I had horrible grades.I did not participate in school events. I refused to go to my graduation ceremony. School meant nothing good to me.
I think of Lincolnwood in a very negative way. I cant think of one thing I liked about it.
Thank you for sharing. Kids are mean and im convinced that rich, entitled kids are the meanest if all. The kids from Lincolnwood had fancy new cars too...lol. and, if course, fancy expensive drugs as well.
