We are lucky to have someone that love's us! Even though we learned the hard way. We are not able to make someone love us. We just learned how to see it. Sometimes "Late" is truly better than "Never"! Scott. Bryan,

We have something in common (besides ADD). We are lucky to have someone that love’s us!

Even though we learned the hard way. We are not able to make someone love us. We just learned how to see it. Sometimes “Late” is truly better than “Never”!

I'm not saying that young people are all liars and gossipers, just that sometimes a little life-experience gives people the perspective to not believe everything they hear...and not REPEAT everything they hear...

I know they (the girls) most likely believed some of of the rumors, that were going around about me. I "acted" much different than what I truly was.

I think this is rare; however, deserves due consideration. In that case, yes, the better person may counsel or better yet, become a friend. The easy way is to cut down, pick apart and inflict punishment, the higher road brings with it lasting rewards and friendship. Excellent point, thank you!

I will definitely read it. I really enjoyed One Boy's Struggle. This is what I teach my kids. Even when gossip is totally true, you are only hurting the person more than they already are hurting. If that girl had been like they said, she must have had very low self esteem and needed friends to help her feel good about herself and help her learn to fit in without having to be promiscuous or whatever other negative behavior was being manifest. Its so easy to cut others down, even losers can do that, but it takes a strong person to help them crawl out of the gutter. I’m glad you are writing the book. I will definitely read it.

Hey now...attorneys can only use "facts" to construct their arguments ;) Amazing how moral flexibility can make even "facts" seem brand new! “the best gossipers take the information that is verifiable and then modify it just enough to fit their needs.

When people become the target of certain gossipers’ life can become rather difficult, even if the gossip is known to be bogus, it certainly can affect self-esteem, especially in the younger years... Yes, jealousy is a nasty creature, indeed!

I was that new girl in school every year of my high school years. The girls always were so jealous and said really nasty things sometimes. And the boys they started in to until I decided to take shop class one year,I was making a night stand and boy did I have alot of help with that . I got to know the guys and then finally my senior year I finally felt comfortable in my own skin . And found out Jealousy is root of all evil. Well I definetly have to get this off my chest.
