What about folks like me, who had absolutely NO interest in associating with the majority of my classmates? The few I did associate with back then, I still have contact with. The rest of them, I could NOT care less about.
Save your social engineering for yourself, leave the kids alone!
We're putting you on the "watch" list.
jk
I was home schooled by four military men and one military brat mom. I had very few friends so I guess people should look out for me, huh?
This might be good for k or first grade..
You get kids that have been home all the time and do not know how to socialize...
I think it is a problem with only one child in the household..
“What about folks like me, who had absolutely NO interest in associating with the majority of my classmates?”
I was the same way.
No interest in them then, No interest now.
It’s called empathy. It’s very innovative, and we this society could certainly use more such teachers. And it isn’t just social. It’s also academic.
Then you put down the SAME names every week! geesh......what’s with your tagline?
COACH FEIS
The football assistant coach Aaron Feis who was also a security person at the school and died blocking the kids with his body SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARMED.
According to Feis’ Facebook page, he lived in Coral Springs and was a fan of Ronda Rousey and Tim Tebow, the TV show “Duck Dynasty” and the movie “Faith of Our Fathers.” Among his posts were a quote from Billy Graham, “A coach will impact more young people in a year than the average person does in a lifetime,” and tributes to the U.S. military and an advertisement for a “Concealed Carry Jacket” with a handgun poking out of a pocket.
So Coach Feis Could have saved most of the kids…Coach Feis SHOULD HAVE saved all those people.
But Coach Feis WAS NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY HIS LICENSED PISTOL.
Precisely
I agree. These females should stay home and raise their own children and keep an eye on their own neighborhoods.

I would bet that you are not by yourself with others on this site.
I had 5 good friends in my high school class, and we stayed in contact through our college years, (3 of us attended the same university). One of those 5 and I are still in contact with each other by phone on a regular basis.
My mother tried to get me to come back for the reunions, and I was not interested. I went back for our 50th reunion, and only my close friend was there of the 5. One friend was dead and one had health problems. Two of the other friends sent letters to my friend, who attended the reunion with me, and apologized for not coming. Their lives were where they lived then not 45-60 years before.
Our adult sons in their 50’s are the same. They have not attended a single reunion or any function for past grads. Again, no dislike just no real links/ties. One son still has two great friends from both Jr and Sen. High. They still hunt and fish together and get together as couples.
My wife has a handful of good friends from her high school class. They email and talk on the phone. We see them out here sometimes.
One of her brothers moved about 2 hours plus away from their hometown. Because he had nothing in common with those still there, and he didn’t want to waste his time with them. He is a good guy and felt thathe and his high school peers had zero in common. His wife is not from their hometown and was happy to move to a larger urban area.
Her younger brother returned home after Nam and has lived in the same area since then. His jr/sr high basket ball and base ball buds and he played together until their 70’s. They played tennis until recently. Now they do boccie and wiffle ball. 3 couples go to Floriduh after Christmas for a couple of months and stay in the same area.
About twice a month these two brothers meet halfway for a lunch, a walk and a lot of talking. They are not big smart phone or computer users. They prefer to talk on the phone.
None of our adult kids, nephews, nieces, siblings nor us use Facebook or Twitter.
We text, email and talk on the phone. Which is good because none of us like to fly anymore.
We don’t know if the above behavior is DNA or learned or both. One of grand daughters is going to college on the east coast. She was home for about 3 weeks for Christmas. She went to a private high school for 4 years and was graduated last June. She got together with one friend from the school and talked to a few on the phone or texted them. She turned down offers re parties or lunches.
Her Mother was giving her some static, and our Grand Daughter told her that like her Dad/Uncle and Grand Parents, she had one good friend from the private school. The weeks before graduation and for about a month after, they all had sworn to stay in touch, the rest of their lives. That didn’t happen in less than 6 months.
You obviously had no such program and thus you grew up to be the troubled individual that you are today..........If only........
FWIW, I feel sorry for you bro, I really do..........
You can deny it all you want but your comments throughout your history here reveal more about you than you think.
This isnt all bad. Personally, I have some scars on my face and as a elementary student I was horribly picked on and bullied. I grew into a strong young my man. Athletic and popular. The scars faded. I always looked out for and befriended the loners and nerds. I still do today. Too many people ignore these folks and are missing out on some really neat people.
But I am also with you. From my class, there are really only 5 people I care about. The rest mostly made my life difficult, so I have no time for them.
Yeah - ignoring and drugging the kids is so much easier than spending time considering how they are doing and if anything is screwed up - being a bit on the introverted side, I wouldn’t enjoy being looked at but an inconvenience for those who are content to be self sufficient doesn’t mean the ones who have a chance should be ignored.
