Pamela: From '67 to '07

Apr67

"This picture was taken in April 1967 at a professional photography studio in Warrensburg, MO. I was 8 years old. I was of course teased a lot as a kid, especially a few years later when both I and my glasses got thicker (and my hair frizzier), but moreso for being called 'fat pig' every day in 7th grade at 5'2" 135 lbs. when most of my female classmates were around 5'5" and MAYBE 90 lbs. soaking wet. Since 1980 I've only seen 2 of those 7th grade classmates, and all I could say to them is, 'if you could only see me now.'" --Pamela

After the jump: Pamela today... (and for the record, we think she's way cute in '67!)

Re: Pamela's memories- who amongst us does not have memories of being uncomfortable or feeling unattractive in the 7th grade? It's a common refrain.

As someone who lied when asked and added 10 lbs to her actual weight in junior high, I cringed when we were publicly weighed in PE class. It's not easier to be tall and skinny in the 7th grade, when we most want to just blend in and not have anyone make a comment. Hope that practice has been discontinued.

For most of us, who we were in the 7th grade is not who we are by the time we graduate high school and get more comfortable in our own skin.

Peace to one and all, including Pamela!; February 27, 2012 at 2:24 AM
