Mean Comments

After breaking up with a guy in high school, his friends decided to be mean to me. Whenever I walked by one of them would say something rude but I decided to take the high road and not comment to them. The final straw came when a guy who used to be my friend turned on me. I had to get by this group of boys to leave the cafeteria, so I was polite and said “excuse me”. The guy who used to be my friend said “there is no excuse for you”. I am an adult now and I still clearly remember that cutting remark. I don’t think he realizes how his comment affected me, but it changed my opinion of him forever and it still bugs me to this day.
