prompt: Kids will be kids_comma_ but I'm still ashamed when I think of how I treated one girl in sixth grade. I learned then that peer pressure doesn't often support your being your best self.
utterance: Well_comma_ like a lot of 6th graders I was aware of *not* wanting to be an outcast for any reason. And unfortunately_comma_ she was. As an adult of course_comma_ my heart squeezes for *all* the kids we were!
