In my case, i never really had many friends. Actually, for some time, more like 7 years i had one great friend who was in the same situation as me. We were in a school for rich kids, tho we weren't rich at all... Our fathers were hard workers, so i got the opportunity to study there. Needless to say, as soon as everybody discovered we were not rich, not that we were trying to decieve them or anything, we just never mentioned, we started to be bullied by everybody. It wasn't one or two groups... It was the whole fucking school. Hell on earth. Or maybe paradise. When people hate you as much as they can, doing something that might nger them won't really change shit, so even tho we were outcasts, we were free to do whatever we wanted that our image to people wouldn't change shit. Free from the schackles of that society we both started fighting. We became rebels. We fought back. We almost got ourselves killed, not once, not twice... However, we never let those assholes go without a scratch, or maybe a broken bone. All the stress, all the pain, it would all fade away as we laughted through the hardships. I remeber a rainy day where we were ambushed for hitting them where it hurts. No mercy from them. No regrets from us. The outcome was obvious, and the results were no different. We were on the ground. Rain drops fell on our swollen faces. Tears runned our cheeks... But we laughted. We laughted to no end. Heh, even now i get teary from remebering it. Even though we always lost, every day was a victory. We were alive. We were fighting against that retarded prejudice which destroyed our childhood. We knew nothing would change... But doing that made us feel alive... We would never give up. No matter what. No matter when. And so it all ended when things escalated too much, and a knife stab destroyed that small world protected by what the adults didn't want to see. That day... That day was the only day we won, but we lost. Commenting in an dead article sounds quite sad, but feel like doing so, so yeah, whatever.

OMG what a horrible tragedy.... not.

Wouldn't be surprised if 7% of Canadians have no friends.

I don't know anyone that has no friends mind you as all the people I know are not tragic hermits.

No I am not 'great' or anything like that, I'm just not a hermit.
