The world is full of mean people. Granted, the world is also full of nice people, it is the mean people that make the journey through this life so miserable. A common misconception is that once we graduate from high school, we become adults and the "mean people" go away. NOT TRUE PEOPLE! The mean people from high school become mean adults and those mean adults have mean children and it is an endless cycle. One of the qualities I admire about my mother is that she has a "tough" skin. She doesn't allow people to treat her unkindly and it doesn't hurt her feelings to be unliked. I am not my mother. I take everything personally and I agonize for days over nonacceptance. I think more so than I even did in high school. As much as I think it hurts to feel unliked by peers, I can only imagine what it must have been liked to be nailed to a cross, spit upon, and forced to face all those "haters" during my last moments of life. To watch them chant and cheer as I suffered and died for their sins and the sins of the world. Ok, my life isn't that bad.....Jesus definitely had it worse.

Way to put that in perspective! Nicely done.
You need to just be the old shannon I know and kick their Fat @$$&$. Show them who they are really messing with. Clearly they have not a clue.
You know I love you tons.. just move home and it will all go away and you can deal with the families like I have too.
