Lawsuits and B. O.

[kybearfuzz]

I was just watching the news and apparently a local family is suing their child's school district for $50,000. Why? Because a teacher told their child to spray himself with Lysol because he had bad body odor. The child suffered taunting from the other kids and obviously vast psychological damage.

The teacher has since retired and is obviously not the most tactful person on the planet, as he or she did this publicly and embarrassed the kid. However, I don't think the family deserves $50,000 because they have a embarrassed stinky kid. If anything, the family should take this as a sign that Junior needs some deodorant and a bath.

Naturally, if the student has some condition that causes this, that's a bit different, but since the news didn't mention it, I'm assuming he doesn't.

Ditto.....I was picked on and hassled a LOT in high school. How I made it out of there without slitting my wrists is beyond me!! :-)

Didn't help that I wasn't part of any of ythe cliques either. I wasn't a stoner or jock or surfer or redneck or rah-rah. I had friends in all those groups, but I was the geeky kid sitting off to the side of their worlds.

I was one of those kids that lived on the fringe of all of the other groups and I had my share of suicidal thoughts back then. I guess that is why I have such disdain for high school and high school sports in general. You couldn't pay me enough to repeat high school again, but I'd do college over in a heartbeat!!! What a difference.

Ditto. I think junior high and high school students are some of the most mean-spirited, vicious people in the world. I only did a few clubs and the school plays and musicals. Of course doing that didn't really increase my social and popularity rate at all. Hehheh

Oh I can relate! I was editor of the school paper and on the yearbook staff, I couldn't have gotten less popular if I tried.

[daltxfurry.livejournal.com]

Yeah book staff my junior year and editor my senior yeah....and worst I was on the prom committee my senior year...couldn't even get a date. I stopped trying after the 13th girl laughed in my face

Obviously the straight girls had no idea what they were missing! I didn't take a date to the prom. In fact, most of the guys and gals I hung out with didn't, we all went stag and had a blast.

[daltxfurry.livejournal.com]

We weren't allowed to go stag to ours...date was required...

And yeah....they didn't know what they were missing. I had a job and $$ to spend...they coulda had a GOOD night

You HAD to have a date??? How sick is that! Ours was a closed prom, meaning if you weren't a student at that school you couldn't come. I think they didn't make us have a date to avoid the awkwardness of it, as so many kids at my school actually dated others from surrounding high schools.

...and those whiny teen bitches missed out on you, tiger! Their loss!!! You're hairy and woofy while they are likely fat and burdened with multiple kids and stretch marks.

Some of them are yes...I saw pics from my 20 year reunion last August. I couldn't go but I saw pics. Man...some of those folks have AGED!

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

LOL.. some of us age better than others :D

[daltxfurry.livejournal.com]

yeah......and I noticed that some of the ladies had quite a bit of work done!

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

Ah, one of the sweet joys of being a man, we tend to not have to deal with having "work done"... at least not as quickly as the ladies.

[daltxfurry.livejournal.com]

Very true....but always interesting to see the guys who always had to check their hair and kept combs in their backpocket....now they have a major recedeing hairline or have just lost most of it...always sweet irony/justice I thought

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

LOL.. it happens to the best of us :)

[daltxfurry.livejournal.com]

Well of course.......So when your next reunion and would you take your steady guy with you?

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

My next one isn't until 2010. Seeing how I am from rural and ultraconservative, yet redneck KY, I'm not sure if I'd take him with me if I had a steady at the time. To my next college reunion, I'd definitely want to show my man off ;)
