It is extremely difficult to prosecute that kind of case. If the teacher pled guilty to anything, then there must have been some especially damning evidence. That "popular teacher" is probably fine anyway. He just had to pick a different job and move on. You all were probably really horrible to an abuse victim. I hope…

Your friend is an idiot.

Sad but not surprising. It's always the teacher that is WAY too invested in the kids' emotional lives that is molester.

And I can't even cut their heads off. >:(

lol his dad was 92. You can't just send him off with a stranger overnight. You might not get him back alive.

Take a bow! You win!

Agree. If I even get invited to my 10 year, the only reason I'd go would be to take in the sad freak show. Also, I'll admit I'd be super petty and show off my PhD, my husband, and the same tight ass I had in college. I'm a motherfucking scientist and I run every morning. Deal with it, assholes. But I probably won't be…

Here's what you do. You friend these clowns on fb, fully take in how fat they've all gotten and how generic their lives are. You feel better. You delete them: from your friends list and from your brain forever. You are free.

He went to his own happy place every day when he got shoved in a locker, and now he just talks into a Barbie walkie talkie at home when he's "trading stock tips" with his few hundred high school friends.

I almost want to go through that whole story and annotate every part where the guy proves he's a massive douchebag ... but that would be every sentence.

Sure, I suppose. What do you do anyway?

SERIOUSLY

You keep doing you, friend.

Right!?! There's no mystery, anyway. I see everyone's wedding and baby on facebook.

"except the girl from high school I had been filling full of beers and shots so that I could get some action later. We head to an after party at a bar where I black out and proceed to accidentally grab my friend's wife's boobs"

Yeah 5 years is really soon. Hell I see everyone at the local dive bar every year at Christmas anyway. No need for a fancy party.

Whoa. 5 years would still be a year late. ... how are you living?

Thank you!

Damn, those are some fucking vindictive parents. I bet my mom would do the same thing lol. .... god I want to BE married to my partner so much, but I hate this fucking wedding. I just want to fast forward to the next day. I'll go ahead and whisper this now; I wish I was brave enough to elope.

File those papers and get yourself a drink! You earned it!
