Every one has short comings. I wasn't talking about a few choice people, this was a general statement about my senior class. Now Ousama and Suzy this post was not intended for you. I understand that you are younger and I am happy that you have the opportunity to enjoy it. I was referring to the boys and girls that are in my senior class that have had everything handed to them on a golden platter and will continue to have things given to them in that fashion for many years after they are considered "grown." Hey if I pissed you off sorry, it is just how I see things.
I am probably one of those who you believe has had everything handed to them on a silver platter. Four years ago, when I was in high school, I had the same argument with a fellow classmate. Her argument was that every student who had a car was spoiled if they did not purchase it on their own. I believe quite the contrary. I have given up many sacrifices in my family life in order to go to an amazing college and have my parents pay for things such as my rent and food. My family has made many sacrifices, and I, yes I, recognize that

Your statements sounded reasonable and credible. However, one thing really bothered me. Why post as anon? Even if she "recently hurt a very very dear friend of yours" and "criticized you a little over a year ago", why would you hide when you have something to say? Part of maturity is responsibility. Responsibility is not limited to finances, family, jobs, and schooling. It is a responsible thing to admit to what you have said(this mean that if someone is to be blamed or credited..or even acknowledged..that everyone involved should know who this person is). I guess that's all I had to say. I, like you, am not meaning for this to be a "holier than thou" post either. I'm just simply stating what bothered me about your post, and it had nothing to do with what you had to say. Everything you said was relative, and even though you had bad things to say, you also had good things to say. It was a well-balanced post..except for it being anon..
I would like to start off by saying that Jana most likely knows who this is. I did not mean for the post to be a personal attack on her, which I am assuming it did not come out. However, an email telling her those things might have. I do believe the problems that occurred in the past between Jana and I are private, and I do not feel that those conflicts should be publicized. By announcing my identity, it would have hurt several people not necessarily myself. For that reason, I left it open saying that if she was still unaware who this was, then simply let me know and I would email her to tell her. I do not say this to protect my identity but the identity of others close to me, who could be hurt by backlash (not that of Jana but by others who may read it with a different tone than intended or different reasoning
