Erin, I love you.
I have to say that my whole life I always stuck up for kids who were picked on too. I remember this boy, Brent in elementary school. He was grossly obese. I bet he weighed 200 lbs. And he smelled like urine. He had not one friend. I used to walk home from school with him every day. I remember really wanting to tell him that he stunk so he could take care of it and people would stop picking on him. I was like, "Smell my arm. What does it smell like? Okay, now smell your arm. What does it smell like?" We were in first grade! It didn't work. I also regularly got stuffed in a garbage can on the walk home with him by these twin boys Doug and Robert. Until I told my mom and she went over to there house and spoke to their mom. Also, in highschool my english teacher was racist. We only had about 9 black kids in our school at this time and she so obviously treated them differently. My friends and I were always allowed to write our papers at home on our typewriters (lol) instead of in the school computer lab. Seriously, we only wanted to do that so we could goof around in class. But anyway, we overheard her telling Roderick, the one black boy in our class, (who was so super smart he used to tutor me in chemistry and was a better teacher than the chemistry teacher. He'd never cheat, he was way too smart.) that he had to type his papers at school so she could know that he was writing them himself and that if he insisted on writing them at home she would give him no higher than a C. I was like WHA??? and stood up to question her. Her face turned all red and she sent me out of the class and then called my mom to tell her I was disrespectful. I told my mom what happened and she marched up to the school and put that teacher in her place. Roderick was so shy he would have never spoken up. I hate bullies.

I hope that the girls realize sooner rather than later that THAT part of your life is not their business and has nothing to do with them. 
Love the hair!! 
And really, the internet caused everything…. That’s just… 
) We had two kids, a brother and a sister, that started there a little bit after me that were from India. They were picked on SO bad, it was awful. I would step in when I could, but usually they dispersed if they saw me coming (I may or may not have jumped on a kid when he told me that I had no “right” to do anything but “stay home and make babies” within my first couple weeks there 
) Within a month they were gone, I guess they transferred or moved, no one ever said. Stupid back-woods hillbilly’s

Wtf? I HATE HATE HATE asking people for favors or asking people to try to get me deals on stuff. I never do it. But she was so insistent she was almost like she would be pissed if she found out we went and didn't let her know. I feel stupid for even asking! I reacted quickly and hope I wasn't rude but I said, "Oh, of course that is fine. I feel kind of stupid for asking at all and hope you know I'd never have presumed if you hadn't mentioned it. We will look online." I kind of wish I'd just said ok and left it alone but I really felt the need to remind her that it was her idea in the first place so she didn't think I was trying to mooch of her or something. There is a good chance she was drunk and does not remember saying it. Why are people so STRANGE??
