The Recess!! (S.A.S.) The positives of the negatives

Haven't you ever been humiliated or made to feel bad about something when you were younger and not ready for that to happen? How did you handle that situation? Did you bug out, act crazy, act out, defend yourself or just clam up? Did you retreat into a personal shell?

As time passes we learn to deal with these circumstnces better (at least some of us do) and look back on these times with some affection as if we had to go through those things in order to get where we are today. Where we are today has to be farther than where we were when that crazy thing happened right? Right?
