I would keep a pair of work boots in my gym locker so if I did not want to participate I got dressed but put the boots on so I got a 65 for the day and not have to be on the gym floor. I was a master of finding loopholes. I should have been a lawyer. :wink:

Related: I remember when I was 12, this popular guy said that if our classroom was survivor, I'd be the first one voted off.
Kids can be cruel. :cry:


I would have told them if this was real life survival they would be the first ones I would eat. :twisted: :P :wink:

I always got really annoyed at being one of the last to be picked. I've always been good at sports and was an asset to any team. But, that didn't matter to them as I wasn't cool. As a result, I hated PE, except gymnastics, cross country running or badminton.

Like, for example, in a team game like kickball where there was a leader for each side and they picked players for their team until the very last person (Which is usually a physically maladroit male geek). I was and, seriously, I thought I was pretty athletic. I always wondered, "What gives?".

(Actually, I was more often the 2nd, 3rd or 4th to last but, still, I was usually in the last 10% that got picked)

Yeah, I was always last and they would bemoan having to have me on their team at all. I always felt so lousy having to participate. Part of me wanted to join in, but part of me resented other people's attitudes toward me. I felt this tear in my psyche because of this. Both a tear and a tear because I often cried over not being wanted by teams at home. Alone.
