Because I run our class reunions, I talk to everyone before during and after. AND what I discovered it that pretty much NO ONE felt accepted and like part of the group. Even people who were uber-cool...

After the 20 year reunion one of the super popular football players called me and confided in me how happy he was that so many people talked to him during our 3 day marathon reunion. What a goof! He was voted most popular Freshman, Sophomore and Junior year and was one of the class favorites Senior year....How could he feel unliked? But he did!

(I sure went to a shallow high school, didn't I?)

I realized my Senior year that the reason certain people were named Homecoming Queen, or Prom Queen was because they went around and asked people to vote for them. One of my Brain friends was the most beautiful person, inside and out, so I got her a date (HER FIRST!) and campaigned for her to be Prom Queen. It was also her 18th birthday... I was almost successful, she was first runner-up! I was so happy to have finally figured out the system!
