I am glad to hear you say that. I could have wished I had a friend like you back in jr. high school. Yep, one who is 6' tall in the 7th grade is going to be clumsy, as it takes a while for the mind to catch up to the body!

That is part of the problem. Not only that, but kids today have not been taught to respect authority. Instead, they know that if they feel they've been done wrong, they can enlist the aid of misguided lawyers and make life miserable for the authority figures. Just try to do ANYTHING to correct a black child and you'll face a charge of racial discrimination!

Remember the paparazzi chasing Princess Di? After the crash, they were all over the car like vultures taking pictures. Why? There are people out there that would pay good money to see them!
Frankly, I'm glad sometimes to be as old as I am. I'd hate to be a kid in today's world.
