A note from the "cool kids" in High School
Dear former and current teenage geeks & losers,

You know who we’re talking about. Yeah you, loser. Remember how much everyone hated you back in school? Well, what us "cool kids" would like to know is what made you think that if you tried to better yourself personally and becoming a productive member of society that that would negate the fact that you were completely unworthy of breathing the same air as the rest of us back in school? Are you not aware that what you were like at the tender ages of - say, between 14 thru 18 - that you would remain that way for the rest of your life? Did you not know that your main purpose in life was to make the rest of us feel better about ourselves?

Nobody cares if you may have lost weight (you’re still ugly), gotten a college degree (you’re still an idiot), volunteered your time with non-profit organizations (SFW), stayed out trouble with the law or never excepted handouts from your parents (maybe you should have been born to wealthier parents – after all, you were able to choose! Then again, you could have cut corners like the rest of us), what are you thinking? None of these "accomplishments" will erase the fact that back in Junior year you had to gall to pour out your ‘Genny’ in a can because the taste didn’t agree with you. Nor will anyone forget (or forgive) you for dressing like a dork, being socially inept, listening to unhip music, rebuffing the sexual advances of the "big man" on campus (tease!) and those repeated pathetic attempts at trying to fit in. What? You thought that time heals? Well guess again, because it doesn’t!

So, if anyone out there is currently a nerdy, unattractive, unhip & happening teenager, give it up now, because it doesn’t get any better for you in the eyes of us "cool kids", you’ll always be a loser no matter how hard you try. So how’s that for putting the past behind us? Now go jump in front of a bus! But before you go, would you like fries with that?

2. Actually it's something I feel like posting at Classmates.com
There's a whole host of people who should probably read it.

4. I think all kids have an equal chance of being successful or loser
The coolest kid in our school was Validictorian and ended up in Harvard.


The most uncool and picked on kids at my school ended up with such low self-esteem they got stuck working at taco bell and permanently going to community college.

12. I revamped the last paragraph...
"So, if anyone out there is currently a nerdy, unattractive, unhip & happening teenager, give it up now, because it doesn’t get any better for you in the eyes of us "cool kids", you’ll always be a loser no matter how hard you try. Nothing you’ll ever gain will be because of you, it’ll just be the result of dumb luck as you’ve established yourself as utterly useless 120 years ago when we knew everything. There, how’s that for putting the past behind us? Now go jump in front of a bus! But before you go, would like paper or plastic?"

13. I don't know what I was in high school
I was fairly attractive in a superficial sense, so I was never a "geek", but I was also rather opinionated and tended to go out with brainy or artsy types of guys, so I wasn't "popular" either. Just like now, I was an individual that's hard to define marching to the beat of my own rhythm.

14. Wonder if the cool kids are sending these to Bill Gates
these days? Somehow I kinda doubt it.

This makes me think of Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, particularly the line where one of them notices that all the popular girls seem to be pregnant. "I hope your babies all...um...look like monkeys!"

Well alot not all. Because I refused to be labeled and had them constantly in cognitive dissonance.
