When I was in grade school we had a cootie queen named Jennifer Johnson and everybody was ruthless to her. We would avoid her like one of the untouchables from India and make jokes behind her back. Anyone who we thought was uncool we would say that they were in love with her and people who touched her, even by accident, automatically became uncool. We wouldn't even walk past her house, we would cross to the other side of the road, maybe yelling "cootie queen!" at her house. It's thoughts like these about how cruel kids can be make me wonder why there aren't more school shootings.

Yeah we did have such a girl at my school. I think I never bother her. Anyway I did
have daydreams in which I would act as her fairyGodFather and give her a complete
make over so she was hot. Not sure whatever happened to her. She was from a poor
family and I think she had a kid at a young age later so my guess she is still poor.

Actually,I was probably the cootie queen at my school but so socially blind that I didnt realize it...some ignorance is bliss.

Ignorance is bliss. The more eductaed people get the more likely they are to kill
themselves. I'm at the point where I can run the numbers and see just how unimportant one person is. The reason I hang on (other that the normal biological need to survive) is I want to induce change in the world at a level that is for greater
than most could image.

How very cruel. We never tagged one person. In our school, cooties could get anyone, at any time. I shudder to think of the poor girl, social outcast, and be-deviled by all the boys. The sheer cruelty overwhelms me, sniff...

When in primary school (as now I'm in Secondary School) we didn't have cooties.

We just had [Insert something someone had just touched here] germs. 8)

With our "Injections for lives" as well. 8)

we had cooties but it was a game(think exterme tag)we didnt make fun of them and the person changed nearly everyday(unless you werent fast/smart enough to catch someone, then you'd usually have a "hero"come tag you and continue your turn.)we wernt mean like that , we even let the slow kids(SEVERE mental retardation) play and helped them out. That cootie queen thing is wrong. i started the hero thing. one kid went to get tagged and i yelled "dont be ah hee-rooo, man!! !" at the top of my lungs and everyone else followed suit(is that right?)the teachers ffound it...odd and questioned me alot about it, why, i havent the foggest idea... :?
