I remember being in middle school and being annoyed daily by "hyper Helena". I mean I probably once in a while was a mean girl towards her. I wish someone had helped me as a middle school girl be more tolerant and helpful rather than annoyed and short with her because she just couldn't sit still and every movement was big and loud and she was disheveled and she was disruptive and distracting. But our school climate was conformity and not really compassion for a disability that we knew nothing about in 1978 (severe ADHD). She did have a bit of success on the school basketball team but it didn't change opinions.
If I could make amends with her I would try. I didn't bully her but I didn't include her or go out of my way to be nice.
