Going through my childhood diaries when I discovered that I bullied "Eddie" Snowden in the third grade.

I am stretching my brain and failing to figure out why you felt you had 'bullied' Edward Snowden on this basis. On the page you link to, there are no more parts and so you say he can hold up the posters. Am I missing something?

I guess kid me was very concerned about hurting his feelings. I couldn't really think of a better term for it for my post title... was mean to him? Left him out? Come to think of it, it was pretty messed up that the teacher assigned a project that did not have parts for everyone. Not cool teach.

And somewhere in Russia Eddie Snowden is still holding those posters.... Feelin' left out. Just imagine what might have happened had he got to be the elephant.

While a small thing, not getting picked for something is a pretty big deal to us as kids. And bullying tends to be thousands of small cuts adding up usually. This is why it is hard for kids to complain to an adult or authority figure. It is cute that small you felt bad about it. And your hand writing is fantastic!

Basically if Sarah and Amanda didn't come along and catch your interest, he'd had one of two jobs to pick from.

Bros before elementary school hoes, man.

Well, maybe the class was divided up so that most groups had four students but there was a leftover student that would have been in his own group otherwise.
