Lately, on my Facebook feed, I have been getting someone in my "you might know" section who was that "mean girl" in HS. I don't remember ever doing anything to this girl which would warrant her behavior towards me. But, for some reason, she hated me. She was also ugly to some other students, and even some teachers. Back then, I just tried to give her a wide berth and stay out of her way.
Since high school, I have heard bits and pieces about her over the years. I don't think she has had the easiest life. I feel sorry for her now.
Now that I am older and far removed from my high school days, I am able to wonder what was going on in her life to cause her to strike out in such a hateful way. I may never know. I do know that I am not going to "friend" her on Facebook. At least not at the present time. She may have turned into the nicest person. I just don't know.
Maybe someday I will feel like reaching out. But, today is not that day.
