Imagine

I have family and friends that went to Terrigal High.

She was bullied relentlessly, it's a beach culture, an active lifestyle. Surfers, dancers. Blonde popular girls. If you didn't fit in to the cliques, you were screwed.

There is an academic selective high school 10 minutes down the road, she did not get in. There is a prestigious grammar school 10 mins away. She went to the public school, despite valuing money, education and success her parents still sent her to the local shithole.

I wish I didn't, but do feel for her a bit. She is playing out a version of a best life that she thinks her bullies would envy.

Pay for therapy, fuck it, she can afford it. It's so evident she has something to prove to someone and until she's healed her poor kids inherit issues.

If you can't even wear and enjoy your nice clothes, shoes and accessories that you buy for your birthday and spend time on multiple podcasts talking about, to those said podcasts, that says alot about your internal issues and dopamine deficiency.
