I'm in the same boat as you and Laurel. Between the team of boys physically assaulting me, the girls ganging up to combo me with humiliation and emotional manipulation it took years to be able to socially interact comfortably (yeah the teachers called me a whiny bitch in not so many words). I still have trust issues but my real kicker was the fact I internally associated that situation with my good grades. Even now when someone says 'you're really good at that' or gives me a mark above 5 I flinch 'cause I'm expecting a beating.

All music from the late 60's early 70's except pop is stoner ballads and stoners make the best music anyway if anyone can get the band to rehearse :)
