Hi Iowa -- You are singing my song.

Your experience sounds horrid. What was he thinking to believe this was a good time for you?

My teen years were merely miserable, awkward, and lonely. Now the popular kids keep contacting me to come to the five year reunions. We grew up in the same small neighborhood as they, and they weren't actively cruel; I was just the strange outsider.

But I keep thinking: In what universe do you think high school was a good time for me?

We are coming up the 50th reunion.
