I dunno, the cool kids at my school were mean little bitches

The cool kids at my school were actually generally pretty nice. A lot of us nerds had chips on our shoulders, but the reality is that as a weirdo loser, I was picked on by weirdo lovers and the popular kids were nicer to me than I was to them.

I don't think they were all good people, given our school's socioeconomic and racial demographics and the fact that it was a catholic school, I strongly suspect that some may have just appalling beliefs on some topics, but even when I ran into one years later she was nice and open minded.

Idk anyone else's experience and I graduated in the early 10s and I know we were a weird generation in that regard.

Popular =/= cool.

Those were actually cruel kids. Common mistake.
