Also, when I was in high school, I was a camp counselor. This one camper claimed she was part wolf and she could smell me and kept trying to bite me because she was a wolf. At this same camp, my friend had a kid come up to her out of nowhere and just say "Piranhas! Piranhas! Piranhas!"…Â
The stories I could tell as a teacher, even just from this year.
I work at an all-girls school, and my second graders were getting changed out of their costumes in the bathroom. One girl walks into the bathroom and then walks back out shouting "THERE'S C*CK IN THE BATHROOM!" multiple…Â
Oh god, Athlete A. It's just so fucking horrible how many girls were abused by the doctor who shall not be named. And how horribly USAG handled everything. And add to that the abuse at the hands of the Karloyis, the lack of proper nutrition, the horrors at The Ranch. I teach young…Â
I used to complain all the time as a kid/teen that everyone's life was better than mine--they were luckier in love, more popular, had more friends, were prettier, didn't have all the stress I did, etc. My mom told me that one day when I was older I'd grow to understand that the grass…Â

I grew up around the corner from Jerry Duplessis, who was Wyclef Jean's manager. One Halloween my friend and I came and trick or treated at his house and he gave us each a ton of candy and basically topped off our trick-or-treat bags. That was a great year. I also once went trick-or-treating…Â
When I was 11, I ended up going to the ER because I couldn't sleep due to really bad stomach pains. They took x-rays and everything and all they could come up with was "unusual gas patterns". So basically an equivalent of a shrug emoji. Eventually it passed. Went to the pediatrician…Â
I can tell you #6 is hit or miss. I'm a teacher and a co-worker of mine once told me that her kid's first grade teacher told her kid "your mom's a teacher, why aren't you a better reader?" Everyone was appalled. However, I've also seen people look the other way with some children…Â
