where did my "subject" go on my first discussion?
Girls, esp. in high school, and some in college, and some take even longer to mature if ever, can be soooo incredibly mean. Sometimes they are meanest to their *friends* Some girls have an inate ablility to hone in on another girls vulnerabilites, and enjoy using that to hurt. Somehow it gives them pleasure. What a weak, ignorant person someone is who must push someone down to make themselves feel better!
Sometimes people who have not had any of lifes bigger challenges (yet, they will someday) are truely clueless about things like depression, etc., because they have never been exposed to it themselves. For this type, it is not intentional, they just dont know. They may understand as they get older and live a little.
Try to connect with people based on common life experience, not age, or economics, and you might find their are people who are kind and empathetic, who will understand. Maybe not understand everything, but who will try!
