Did you have a rival at school?

Question

I was the runt of the litter back then (I'm now taller than average and fulla muscles!), until this new girl turned up. She was shorter than me, and not much to look at. I never gave her a hard time, but she zeroed in on me with this idea that she had to show other people she was better than me, to improve her status, or whatever. I obliged her in the occasional race or debate, or whatever she wanted at the time, to get her off my back, but she couldn't match my feeble skills and maintained her grudge against me until her family moved away. It was odd. I had a few people like that, that seemed to take me personally when I was just trying to go about my business.

Now, let's hear your story. :)

Answer 1

i've had so many 'enemies' in life i cant pick which one to choose! when your finding out who you are, you're very vulnerable to what people think of you. growing up is tough, i wouldnt want to be a teenager again, it was a hard time. i made a lot of enemies when i was younger by being hot-headed, shy and clever (at the top of my class) all at the same time! everyone's just confused at this time and havent learnt yet how to accept each other for who they are.
