Interesting...

Hmmmm...

I found this girl I used to go to primary school with on Facebook. She has gone completely feral. COMPLETELY. Mind you, I'm pretty sure she was a bit feral in primary, but she had the potential to turn her life around. She was quiet, polite and quite smart if I recall.

I think she's about two years younger than me.

When I was in primary school a friend and I used to tease this girl. It's not something I'm proud of, believe me. It was an awful thing to do. I think the only reason I did it was because I used to get teased a lot, so it seemed only fair at the time that I tease someone younger and more defenceless than myself. Anyway, we were quite horrible to this girl.

I used to see her around from time to time when I was in high school. She was always doing the whole "moody teen" look. You know the one. Greasy hair, heavy eyeliner etc etc.

I now know a girl who is in the same year level as her. She informs me that this girl drinks about a bottle of vodka a day, smokes pot, shoots up and is an all round down and outer.

I can't help but wonder if maybe it was because of me. I know it's silly. She had a bad family life etc, but what if instead of bullying her I extended the hand of friendship?
