In middle school, there was this one super unpopular girl that gifted me acne medication for Christmas.... Unprompted. We weren't even friends and yes, I had acne problems like most teens did.

I never bullied anyone in my life before and since, but I did that year.... This was why she was so unpopular. The year after, she called 1 of the 2 only black kids the N word, got her ass kicked and either removed or expelled from school.

I have no idea why anyone would go around picking fights, especially with no friends to begin with. Before anyone asks, no, no mental health issues.

Edit: I also wasnt "popular" and had very little friends too. I mean, it wasnt right either way to turn bully either but I was young

My grandmother bought me a dark green, polyester, turtle-neck shirt; when I was 12. I never even tried it on.

I think I only ever received one good present.

I think the "worst" thing I ever got was a VR headset. It wasn't a bad present per say and I really liked it at the time but unfortunately the VR space died pretty fast and it was completely useless soon after I got it.

Edit: it was a headset where you put your phone inside, I should have said that first

Arkham Shadow just came out on VR and people are saying it rivals other games like HL: Alyx in terms of scope and quality.

I'm watching a playthrough right now and it's blowing my mind how awesome it looks to actually be Batman
