ONE angry student

[nicbase]

Hello, my name is Nicole Base.I feel that before I verbaly rip someone apart I should mention that because it is what a good writer does. A message was posted about my mother, Mrs. Jackie. For those of you who know her, congradulations are in order for you. I am 16 years old and I read a message that was posted on 06-05-2002 at 7:21 entitled "Several concerned parents" message and immediatly prayed to God that my mother was not botherd by such trash. I hope that the coward that didnt mention his or her name in that horrid letter is sleeping alright, because I for one am not. How dare you...I feel sorry for the people that you have to interact with every day because they must go home with the sick feeling in their stomache too. My mother would not respond to this because it would give you the satisfaction of knowing that you bothered her with such filthy lies. But I will be damned if I just let this rest. Mr. Wallis is a nice guy...yeah but my mother sleeping with him. I dont know how you treat your boss but no such events occured between them. As far as "seeveral concerned parents" goes, I would be concerned if I had you anywhere near my childern too. That is all that I have to say for now. My phone number is 253-3112 and like I said my name is Nicole Base. I would love to know your name to put an end to all this but that would mean you would actually have to back up your statements. Thanks for your time. and I love you mom you are a wonderful person.

Nicole, I am so sorry that you and your whole family were subjected to this. I swear, some people!
I've said it before, I'm saying it again... If you have a complaint, call/go see someone that would know for sure, take it to the powers that be, and if it needs to be acted on, go through the proper channels. I am so sick of seeing "I heard", "I've been told".. "is it true?" on this and the other board. FIND OUT THE FACTS BEFORE BLASTING ON THE PUBLIC BOARDS!! Consider the human beings that you might hurt with your passing on gossip.
Nicole, peace to you and your family.

BTW, the Auditorium was NOT shut down during Blues Fest.

Nicole,

I am so sorry that you had to be subjected to small town gossip. It is something that should never happen, but unfortunately does quite frequently. Ask me I know - since I am running for office the rumors are already starting to fly. Do I listen to them? No. Who has time. And consider the source - usually people that have to much time on their hands and get pleasure out of taking someone else down. Now what does that say about them?! It usually backfires on them though.
Don't worry about it. What you think and know to be the truth is all that is important.

Keep your head up girl!

Nicole-
Having my Mother run for office, I too have heard outragous stories that I myself couldn't even make up! It is amazing what people will say, and especially why they even care. I have also had my own set of rumors during my life, and all I can say is, laugh it off, and figure............If they are talking about you, they are thinking about you!! http://www.geekfest.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Your mother was right not to respond to that tacky, tasteless post from someone who claimed to be a concerned parent. I don't know how concerned she could be to post something like that for adults and children to read. Obviously, she never thought how the innocent children of the people mentioned would feel to read such tripe, nor did she consider how her own kids would feel to read something posted about her, especially something so personal. I am very sorry I did not find and remove this post early in the morning before anyone had a chance to see it.

This has been hurtful for you, but it will make you a stronger and probably more tolerant person. The ability to ignore ignorant jerks is a finely honed form of good etiquette and respect. Your parents must be very proud of you.

Nicole,

I too was once a favorite to slam on the highschool page from a 'concerned' parent for me befriending their daughters...they were concerned because I was pregnant. The most that I could do was tell them that it wasn't contagious and some of them left me alone, others called me a sinner, *lut, *hore etc. and this was coming from parents. Now that I have had my daughter all of these parents want to know what I've been up too and want to know if I need anything...Pretty pathetic huh? Well, trust me, I've been there, and done that. All I do is read them and laugh about how off they are on my life.. Don't let it bother you, that's what they want, to get the satisfaction that they know that it hit you and you listened. Just laugh at them, that'll trip them out more than anything...
Good Luck and Have Fun with it,
