I realize it’s a bit late to comment on this entry, but yes. Yes. I switched schools right before seventh, to a tiny private school in the south where everyone had known each other since they were four, and I was the short flat-chested new girl with the uncool clothes and the Fran Drescher accent. It was the year of the bar/bat mitzvah circuit, and some of my classmates decided that a ponytailed lawyer handing out cigarettes to the kids at a party had to be my dad. Never mind that my dad wasn’t *at* that party; never mind that my dad is neither ponytailed nor a lawyer. That rumor has lived for ten years now; my dad still gets people asking him “I thought you were an attorney?” I was mocked, isolated, insulted, pushed, kicked, dropped on my head (it sucks to be the small one), and none of my “friends” defended me, ever, because they knew they were the rejects too, and maybe if they didn’t help me the cool clique would finally, finally let them in.

They say living well is the best revenge, but I still want ten minutes in a dark alley with a lead pipe.

We women complain about how other women can be bitches when we, ourselves, have never, ever done anything to perpetuate any of that, right? We never say anything mean behind another woman’s back. We never behave in a way that is jealous or insecure, and we never try to lord our own strengths over those by whom we feel threatened. And for heaven’s sake, we are never, ever competetive with other women. Only other women — silly, mean, vindicitive, insecure women — do that. No, we are all just innocent victims of other women’s bitchiness.

I am SO with you on wanting boys. After teaching catty fourth grade girls all year, I am absolutely ready to send them to fifth grade come May. They’re awful.

Wait a sec…Mike Schmidt’s /wife/ got her daughter to pick on you? /Mike Schmidt/?

BWAHAHAHAHA!

That’s classic. I can understand why she did it, thought. Being Mike Schmidt’s daughter, obviously would have had a huge target on her back. If she /didn’t/ get teased every day, you guys must have been in the suburbs or Norteast Philly or something. Down in South Philly, we would have had her for lunch.

“Your dad sucks. He only won one World Series. Reggie Jackson’s won more than that. Reggie Jackson is a good player. Your dad sucks.”

“Your dad’s a dork. Nobody likes him. Greg Luzinski is cool. Bob Boone is cool. Even Manny Trillo is cool. Your dad is a loser.”

“Why doesn’t your dad kill himself, so we can get a good third baseman?”

“We’d trade him, but no other team wants him because he’s a loser. No other city wants you or your mom or dad to live there.”

I’m not even going into the really creative stuff we would have said. Dude was /hated/. Donna Schmidt obviously thought she had to go preemptive on some other little girl to keep her little girl from being at the bottom of the totem pole. Sorry it was you.

If I had a way back machine, I’d hop in it and make little boy version of me go tell little girl version of you what she should have said to that little troll.

I was an early bloomer as well, and still deal wtih being abnormally large. It’s tough for people to go through that sort of thing - especially at such a young age! Sounds as though you’ve come out on top though.

I agree. It’s very possible that she’s feeling awkward about your pending wedding. Hopefully she’ll come around when she realizes that being petty isn’t going to gain her anything.

My guess? Her ex-boyfriend compared her to you in some unfavorable way or just mentioned in passing that he was attracted to you. Women can be bitches, men can be utterly…huh? what were you saying while I was watching the replay?

Girls can be bitches. Sounds like your school years were worse than mine. I was never happier than when I graduated high school. Every year I went to a new school and every year I thought it would be different. I come by way of blogexplosion, and also golfwidow at diarytown. She’s quool, and so are you.

“I hope that when I have kids they’re boys.”

Hate to tell you, but boys are just as nasty as the girls. They’re just more up front about it.
