Other kids were mean to him and made fun of him but I was always nice. After we graduated his mother called me and told me I needed to be mean to him and ignore him so he'd move on from me. I wouldn't do it and be mean to him, couldn't hurt him like that. Anyway, I haven't seen him for many years and I wonder if he ever married.

Aww - you are so nice. I bet you made a difference in his life - even if you didn't return his affections. (oh and that Mom - bless her heart - FAIL)

How come? To give it a more inclusive name where it's not just old people and young people?

No. When they get to a certain size, we're supposed to split them out and start a new one (same first post). And OPWFT and TWFT are much longer than that size....

Cuz we're almost at 1700 pages... that's my guess...

Can we be the Marginally Old People Writing for Teens? Or maybe our new friend Lindsay's term...

Old-ish People Writing for Teens?

I loved this year's changes, they were great. I still never found the water cooler though.
