Grades again - from a teenage diary

Saw an article today on Yahoo where they talk about "cringe readings" It's where people read out loud some of their embarrassing teenage diary entries as sort of a cleansing, and most people feel better after it. Well, one interesting part of the article makes a strong case for my previous blog dedicated to the C students of the world...

"Why? Why do you think someone could really love you?" a now-grown Ingrid Wiese reads to the crowd.

"You're fat, out of shape, covered with zits. You can just feel how your body is GOING. Your arms, your wrists, your calves. You're insecure, immature, and" — she lowers her voice to a whisper — "your grades reflect your intelligence."

The 33-year-old Wiese says it's enough to make her wish she could somehow give that insecure girl a hug.
