I remember teachers who really singled me out for their discouragement.

My children did not go through a stage of being rude to their parents. I'm sorry if that sounds incredible.

In school, I was the quietest girl ever! I had a lot of trouble in school. Kids were mean to me.

I remember being bullied at school, and I remember being cruel to other kids.

When I was 17, I was hyperactive and annoyed my teachers.

I used to know kids better because I was teaching in a classroom, but I still have a sense of comfort with them. I don't believe that kids have essentially changed.

I was a fat girl growing up and had to change schools because kids were so mean.

I very rarely came across rude or disrespectful people. I don't know how I slipped by all of them, but I honestly can't think of one experience off the top of my head that was like that. I'm sure they're there, but I'd have to think really hard to recall them.

I was at an all-girls' school, so there were a lot of us who were really awkward. I was this tall when I was 11, so I was really awkward and self-conscious. No one would really have wanted to be mean to me. I was too unimportant.

When I was a little kid, I used to really embarrass my parents.
