mexipal – I wish what you said were true – that people are kinder than we think. Too often, it is exactly the opposite! Especially in school, but even later on. Kids and adults can be quite mean. It’s just that adults will do it in a different way, they won’t act out as kids do.
ToomuchOO – I’m not saying that is the general rule. I’m not trying to scare you or make you more nervous. Surely there are some girls you can count on to help you out. Is there a teacher you can speak with – preferably one who will be at the Shabbaton with you? Hatzlacha Rabba – have a great time!
