You are so right. I remember the neighborhood kids telling me to throw a water balloon at a car passing by. It was a suburban street; he was going slow.
I wanted them to like me, so I did it.
The guy got out of his car, ran after me then threw me up against the garage of a neighbor’s house— I was 13— I never did anything like that again.
Sometimes you just have to learn. You can’t do that if you don’t have a chance to experience life.
One thing that has always intrigued me, is how ‘good girls’ cat around with their boyfriends and for some reason, are able to put on a facade of being a ‘good girl’ while around friends and family and their peers and family buy it. They literally don’t call their kids out on their messing around. Same with guys, with girls of their own class they’re as decent as anything, insofar that they do the same things as anyone else, but mistreat ‘outsiders’ all they want.
A lot of these so called ‘good girls’ are vicious bullies, abusive parents, terrible wives, and still the men put up with it and even continue to show them respect. I know that it’s PC on FR to admire housewives, but a lot of these stay at home moms still have kids getting pregnant out of wedlock, flunking school while barely graduating literate, and engaged in all sorts of criminal behavior. Then the mothers are clueless as to why their munchkins end up in messes.
