lol what’s going on? read the comments for the article.  All I’ll say is that there’s a huge difference between standing up for some cause because you believe in it and standing up for yourself to show that you’ve grown.  Emphasis on “show” because if you’re really grown, then you wouldn’t really care anymore and you wouldn’t feel the need to keep doing or saying things that seem to clarify your actions?  If you know your motives are clear, why do you need to spend fruitless effort proving that your motives are clear?  Whatever kinda past you have, you don’t have to prove anything.  We’re all humans, we all make mistakes, and over time we learn to forget and move on.  Even on the other side of the spectrum, what was once cool eventually dies out.  Who cares about the homecoming kings and the prom queens when we’re in our 20s and 30s?  If you apply for a job, will the interviewer ask “How popular were you in high school or college?”  People move on!  What matters most and what always will matter most is the person’s attitude and perspective that they look at life with.  Because that’s what lasts.  I had my share of high school moments that I hated and would rather forget but I’m not the only one.  College gave me a perfect opportunity to keep my attitude up and give myself another shot at being successful.  I don’t know the full details of what happened to Rosetta but from what I heard and know from high school five years ago, she has no reason to defend herself in an article that’s mainly about her..  Whoever you are, wherever you are, you don’t always have to play hero. or in this case victim.  Give forgiveness a chance.
