When was the first time you were hurt?
Physically?
In the fourth grade at a Girl Scout meeting.There was this girl who was TWICE my size and thought that it would be fun to spin me around and around. I thought that it was fun too until she let go and I went flying across the Multi-Purpose room. What would you do if you were the adult in charge? Call the parents? 911? Not this crew. When I didn't stop crying, they made me walk all the way home with what was later discovered as a broken wrist. Thus ended my promising career as a Girl Scout It is amazing the crap that sticks out in our minds so many years later.
Emotionally?
Second Grade. I was a bit of a flake and wasn't listening to the teacher. She got mad and screamed at me. That was the first time that I can remember feeling embarrassed. It was the start of a long career of being embarrassed about many things. I later learned from my mom that my second grade teacher that she was probably drunk seeing as she was a stark-raving alcoholic! I always learn amazing stuff years after the fact!
