Everyone has a horrible memory from their school days. Here's one tale.

Back to School Horror Story From Blogger Bunny Leeway

Small town, where I went through K-12 with all the same kids. This one girl, Shelley, was, to me, the most beautiful girl in the world. Long neck, perfect smile. I was chubby, awkward and PTSD, but 'weird' is what I was called. First day of fourth grade I wore the coveted Gloria Vanderbilt mauve shirt with a swan on the chest. At recess, standing in the 4-square line, I noticed Shelley was wearing the same shirt. "Hey, We have the same shirt." I said, most likely in a disgustingly fawning way. She looked me up and down with disgust. "Now I can never wear this shirt again. Oh, and you've got some lunch on yours, pig." I looked down and sure enough, a nice glob of jelly was stuck on my chest. The next year, again in the 4-square line, I was singing the line to the Pretender's song - "I'm special, so special..." I felt a tap on my shoulder, it was Shelley. "No, you're not. And you can't sing."
Crushed.
Years go by, and I find my own way, things get better. By 12th grade Shelley is no longer so fantastic in my mind, she's kind of a dumb w____, but I don't judge her for it. But we have mutual friends and no one is mean to me anymore. Graduation is a big deal, there's a cruise with no drinking allowed and a lot of us talk about doing something else during lunch. Shelley is there. After everyone leaves she asks me if I want to skip the cruise with her and go to an 'awesome party'. Of course I do. She tells me to meet her at the pizza shop, an hour after the cruise leaves. My family is visiting and I kiss them all goodbye and ride my scooter to the pizza shop. She's not there. I call her house and her Mom tells me she went on the cruise, there wasn't any talk about a party. I call everyone who was talking about skipping the cruise, no one is around and some definitely went on the cruise. I am alone on graduation night, sobbing into my pillow, while my family pretends not to hear what a loser I am.

Tomorrow is Stand Up Against Bullying Day. The C100 Breakfast Club will talk to a former bully and ask what motivated him and how he came to change his ways. Plus, if you could confront someone who bullied you as a kid, what would you say to them now?
