If I could sum up my childhood in one word (basically any time before high school), it would be "odd." I had a really rough year in 3rd grade, which pretty much caused me to withdraw from people for the next four or five years. I was never a mean person, but there were just a couple of moments, but I did it more for attention than anything else. I rarely become angry, but when I do, it's more passive aggressive.

It's amazing how much a person can change, though. If I could travel back in time and talk to my 3rd grade self, I would never believe me.

And Clairity, I know that feeling of wishing you could take something back. *chuckles, embarassed* .... like the time I was 5 or 6 and I was mad at my sister and as she was running away I threw a hammer at her. It was one of those moments where as soon as the hammer let my hand, I wanted it back. And just like a movie, things kind of slowed down and when it hit her, it was square in the back and she threw her arms out almost like she'd been shot. I was SO LUCKY that she wasn't more than bruised. (I really do love my sister!)

As for other people lying to me, the worst was when a friend of mine in 6th grade told me that my sister had said that I was too fat to play volleyball. I didn't believe her, mainly because she had lied earlier. After I had head lice that same year (it was a bad year health-wise for me), she said that my mom called her up and was yelling at her, accusing her of giving me lice. Ugh, that was a sad time.

Ame, the way you described the "hammer" incident was great.. I felt like I was right there with you when it happened! I mean.. I'm sure it was awful .. but great visual! :D

As for other people lying to me.. the worst was when I was in junior high and a girl who never really had much to say to me before (which should have clued me) came up to me and said that "Anna's" dad had run in the olympics and that I should ask her how fast her dad can run.. that it makes her happy to talk about her dad.

So me with my "dumb-a$$" go up to "Anna" and ask her how fast her dad can run.

She looks me dead in my face and says, "my dad's in wheelchair.. how could you ask me something like that?".

I almost burst into tears.. I felt so bad I couldn't even think what to say in response. I just started stammering about how sorry I was, etc.

Suddenly "Anna" and "itchbay # 1" both start laughing hysterically saying it was all just a joke!

Yeah, that joke was so funny.. that after all these years I still remember how I felt when they played it on me..
.

That's so sad Clairity.

awww Clairity!( urgh can ppl use their names please i do not like the impersonal way you refer to people as their forum names), those girls were horrible to be cruel to you because of the fact you were a kind person!! That's soooooooo mean mean mean.

One slightly off topic thing, so they laughed even though you were crying. Is their less pity for same sex suffering? What i mean is i think of i had to, though it would take a lot to make me, i could maybe torture another man. But i couldn't ever torture a women, because i hate crying and i think opposite sex crying is more hurtful, most likely because the instinct of the male to protect is still inside.

So what im asking is do girls have less pity if another girl is crying, then maybe a guy would for that girl, and vice versa?

It just depends. Some girls are just mean, usually to try and gain some kind of superiority. Most/some grow out of it as time goes on, but it's the worst in middle school and high school. I think a lot of them do it just to get attention one way or another. Sometimes it may be to try and impress a boy and get them to see how tough they are, or in my case when my friend was lying to me, it might have been to try and turn me against my sister and closer to her. Who knows?

I think it's probably worse within one's own gender, possibly because, for example, a girl might think that they know how to handle another girl better than a guy. I would hope, though, that other kids wouldn't just let stuff like that happen. With your story, Clairity, that wasn't just a prank.

I'm having trouble forming a collection of cohesive thoughts, so I'll leave it like this and if someone wants to fill in the blanks or correct me, go ahead.

Well, I know my boyfriend absolutely hates when girls cry, apparently he can't handle it, and one of his closer friends is the same way.

I really don't know if I have a gender bias, though, I generally don't care very much regardless of whether you are male or female (at least when I know nothing is seriously wrong.)

I'm interested in anything anyone else has to say about this.

I don't like it when girls cry either. For some reason it makes me feel uncomfortable and awkward. I'm just not much good at comforting people when they're upset I suppose.

I don't like it when anyone cries. I feel like consoling them, but I most likely just start crying myself, even though I try hard to stop it. I'm highly empathetic that way.

Anyway... I remember doing some pretty stupid stuff when I was younger. Sometimes I'd just get the temptation to do something, similar to a power rush.

I remember being at a badminton club at school in 1st year (age 11/12). Someone hit their shuttlecock over my way, so without thinking, I picked it up and hit in totally the other direction. I even smiled. :shock: Then the teacher who was taking the session gave me a bad-a$$ looking stare. He just... stared; so hard. I realised what I did, and I felt guilty about it for a week or two afterwards.

But of course, I never learnt from my lesson. :shakehead2:
