Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 OK that's worse. And like most KOs, I bet you had little control over your wardrobe. Your nada deserved that award, not you! My highschool class is having a reunion this year. It is funny, but I really don't know my class. I look at the list of names and they could be from any school anywhere. > > Hi Mr. Zarkley, > > I was voted Worst Dressed by my senior class. > > is > > > ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ > Looking for last minute shopping deals? > Find them fast with Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi Mr. Zarkley, No, cannot blame my mother for the worst dressed award, except for a lack of interest on her behalf. She didn't do the shopping for me, I did it mostly myself because she just wasn't around. It was more mean-spirited from a certain faction of my high school contingent (others told me that night it was unfair). At the same time, it might have helped to have had a mother that actually paid attention to such things. My father was/is hopeless with fashion, which didn't help. I did have a teacher take me aside after class one day to tell me what I was wearing was not appropriate for school (it was I think too revealing, although I can't exactly remember the outfit). Again, the sort of thing a mother might notice. is ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi I really like this thread. High school was a particularly difficult time for me. I was voted " Most Changed " . It just goes to show how few people really knew me. And it shows how people judge each other based on appearances and really have no idea what is going on for real. I started high school getting good grades, and following in my split-perfectly sibling's steps. My sibling had been the most perfect at everything, so that's what I tried to be. (Now, I realize, that was probably nada making me believe my sibling was perfect... I don't even know what my sibling was really like... just realized that...) Then, things went downhill. Nada always blamed it on my best friend moving away. I ran away from home and lived on the streets for a long time. I was able to finish high school because I lived with this friend who's mother was a social worker. It was informal foster care. The FOO was never concerned, they never even tried to search for me. The whole experience was so bizarre, I may need the rest of my life to recover from it. The last year, I moved back in with the FOO and that whole year is like a blank in my life. After having lived outside of their home for over two years (and on the streets and having another family take me in), nothing was ever mentioned about my experiences in the FOO household. I was so traumatized from life on the streets, I can see that now. ( I also know now as an adult that I could have legally made the FOO pay consequences for neglect, but back then, I believed the FOO when they acted like I was bad and all of it was my fault). Anyway, when I went back to my original high school, I had had the experience of living on the streets, was heavily traumatized, and barely passed classes. I missed a lot of days. I wore the same clothes every day, and just didnt know how to take care of myself. I really was not in a psychological state where I should have been even sitting in classes. I don't really know how I made it through. Like I said, that whole year is like a blank white space in my head. I think I have one memory from my senior year in high school. And fada would always reprimand me for not being happier, he would always say, you are young, you have your whole life ahead of you, why don't you smile more. All the other kids noticed, I think, was that I wore dirty clothes and had been absent for a long time. So I got voted " most changed " . Shows how meaningless those nominations were. Thanks so much for these posts. Walking to happiness. From you friend " WALKING TO HAPPINESS " . May we all walk towards happiness... --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.
