Author's comment: When I went to high school, I thought nearly everyone else in my class was a jerk, a snob, arrogant, etc. A few years later, I'd meet up with people from my class, and they thought the same thing of everyone in the class! It made me wonder... exactly who were all the jerks/snobs/etc, if the people I THOUGHT were jerks/snobs/etc thought the same of everyone else?
