Mean Girls: High School Bullies
Today I’m thinking about a girl I went to high school with. Joy and I came from different worlds; her family came to the United States on the Mayflower (probably), while my grandpa came through Ellis Island as a young boy from Italy. My parents had little schooling beyond high school. While I don’t know what Joy’s parents did, I do remember how upset she was to get the used Mercedes for her 16th birthday. Apparently she wanted a Jaguar. But I didn’t care that Joy’s family had lots of money and mine didn’t. I grew up with two amazing parents who gave me, from the start, unconditional love and unwavering support. What I did care about was how Joy would treat me.
