RE: Memoir Monday #38 (11/25-12/1) - Who is someone you’ve lost touch with but think about often, and what impact did they have on your life?

That is so sad Eric!
Bullying is a scourge and schools are the bully's favourite playground!
Simon Cowell once told a contestant that when someone bullies you, it's actually a compliment, as they're envious of you. Your Mom was right!
They are people who have deep-rooted insecurities, and if they don't deal with it, they often end up like your friend.
I can think of a number of people who influenced my life but have lost touch with.
Interesting topic this week!

It's weird to remember how he was when we were young and how much potential he had. It's kind of haunting to think how easily that could have been my life. You're right, bullying almost always comes from low self esteem or trauma. Thanks, I'm trying to mix the prompts up a little. I'm thinking next week it'll be a little more fun.
