| worst easter ever. I went to my family easter dinner. And i saw my cousin there, she has always been much of a tomboy and im really a girlygirl but we've always got along. anyways, the topic of the future comes up, and my mom was telling the family of my plans to go to law school, and my cousins mom was saying that her daughter was going to lawschool also, and out of NOWHERE one of my distant relatives (who ive never really met) said that they didnt let "barbies" into law school! My mom said "excuse me?!" to see if she had misheard her, but she said it again, she said that "you have to care about things other than SHOPPING to get into law school."and that my cousin was a college girl and all i was meant to do was be a trophy wife! I DONT EVEN KNOW THIS LADY! anyways the bashing went on and she called me a stupid cheerleader before my mom finally dragged her out of the room and starting yelling at her. i just felt so attacked, so i starting crying and took a cab home. my family called this morning to tell me that she has always been bitter like that to pretty girls because she had a bad highschool experience and that i should forgive her. I go to high school, im used to people saying those things about me.. but i wasn't prepared for it to come from my family I really am smart! im an A student, y is it because im a cheerleader and that i like to dress up that people automatically think im stupid? im just really shook up by this.. i didnt expect my easter to turn out to be soo bad i just needed to vent. |

| Vent away. I think the phrase "been there, heard that" comes in good here. I have a few relatives like that and I was always picked on in high school. You basically just need to either 1. Let it go in one ear and out the other or 2. Let them have. I just ignore them for the most part. But for someone who does not know you and you have never met, that is rude plain and simple. And I would be the first one to tell them that. |

| When the going gets tough the tough get going. Show that "relative" just what you got! Make her eat her words. Get that law degree and make yourself happy if that's what you want. Rah, Rah, Rah for you. Don't let it bother you. Some people just have no class or are just plain jealous of others. I don't think you owe her an apology at all. She owes you one. If a relative said such a thing to one of my daughter's (both captains of their squard in HS) she would have been put in a Taxi to go home. |

| (((((HUGS))))) That is just horrible. It is going to feel so good when you get that Law degree and hang it on your wall for all to see. The best lesson you can learn from this, is to ignore mean people. And live your life the way you want to. It sounds like you have a great head on your shoulders, and they are the one missing out.

| you should have told her yourself that judging someone she doesn't really know family or not just shows what kind of person she truly is and that whatever problems she has weren't caused by you to keep to to herself and not take it out on you because you didn't cause them. no excuses should be made for someone who acts like that at all! i would have told her something had that been me but it would have been very rude!

| Jacky, your so right not to have engaged in a battle of the wits w/ her, because someone like that is witless ...you can't argue w/ stupid... People like that are really miserable with them selves & w/ life in general....It's to bad that it had to be a relative...been there done that..it just makes it even more sad...trust me , this had absolutely nothing to do w/ you, she's angry at the world & you where in the line of fire...your on the right track w/ life ...keep up the good work...you go girl!!!

| I would have said, "Apparently you have a problem distinguishing between fiction and reality, because this is real life, not 'Legally Blonde'. Please feel free to rejoin the conversation when you can contribute something of intellectual value." She better hope your cousin does well in lawschool--I have found that in life, ignorant people frequently require the assistance of attorneys. Just prove them wrong and get the last laugh on them. |

| I'm sorry you had to experience that. One day you'll prove this lady wrong, and that'll be the best reveng for her! She's just jealous of you, don't let it get to you.

| The curse of beauty strikes again,lol. I feel your pain. And believe me it gets much worse when they find out your smart & ambitious. Because when they cant think of anything bad to say about you that really pisses them off. I was pretty, class clown, smart, I work at it but I will get what I want & I am respected & hated for it. Love yourself & remember God & your yorkie loves you & they are the only ones who will not run you over to get a head. Things could be worse you could be ugly & dumb, then they would talk behind your back & act nice to your face. At least this way they are only acting out because of jealousy or past probs. Keep your eye on the prize, dont let people who dont matter discourage you. I would get her a lawyer barbie for xmas I know mattel makes one. |
