Chrys,

I do not and would never defend or try to minimise the hurt that this comment obviously caused you. But I think you should remember a couple of things:

1) Kids can be cruel (and if he was grade 11 he was maybe 16 and he WAS just a kid in a juvenile environment)

2) A comment that he made 8 years ago as a schoolkid is probably not indicative of the person he is today.

Think about how much you've grown as a person and how much you've learned, how your views have changed, how you've matured in the last 8 years...

I would encourage you to contact him and tell him how he affected you back then if it's important to you. But don't be surprised if he doesn't remember it. From what you've said, it wasn't something he actually said to you to try and offend you.

It all depends what you want to achieve by doing it...

C.

I can think of very valid reasons for going either way .

On the one hand, if you say something, you take the emotional weight off of your shoulders and put it on his. Which is only just, as his comment has stuck with you for so long.

On the other hand, you could just ignore him and take the high road. Forgive him for being a closed-minded ass, and don't let him have any more power over your life.

I don't know what I would do.
