I had a few but there's two that struck a cord to me. This is kind of a long one. ^^;
First story
I won this really cool looking headband that has hearts(or was it stars? I can't remember) antenna at a Kindergarten for some game we were playing(I think it was a memory game or spelling, it was so long ago) and I was so excited as I never won anything like that before. After Kindergarten was over, I was taken to the other pre school to stay for the rest of the afternoon because my mother was a single parent at a time and it was a year after she divorced my narcissist ex dad(I rather not talk about that). She had to work long hours at a nail salon to make ends meet so she had to rely on a pre school that allows kids of divorced parents to stay there till they can pick us up.
So me and the few of my classmates went to a small bus to take us to the other school. After an hour being there, I took out my prize to show it to my classmates and 'friends'(I was a dumb five year old kid who trusted other kids too easily and thought were trustworthy) because why not? Well, one of my 'friends'(it was a little bratty blonde haired mullet boy) took my headband to get a closer look then he got up, ran towards to the fence(we were outside at the playground), and threw my prize over to the woods. I got upset at him and went towards the teacher(who was watching it by the way) to tell her what happened and if she can get it back. Well, she refused to do anything, just blames me for it and go back playing with my 'friends'.
I think I told my mom about it but I don't think she did anything about it as she was too exhausted from work and hasn't seen the prize that I won. What's worse is that I never got a chance to wear it(it was in plastic bag).
Second story
This one is the one I remembered the most and it still pisses me off to this day.
I was seven(or eight) years old and was at the church school for the summer day camp(not a Vacation Bible School). The teachers there are great except one(which I would get to soon) and it was not like any other church summer school, it was the best one there is. They have billiards, darts, board games, ping pong table, air hockey table, TV's, jump ropes, hula hoops, and many cool stuff that would make any kid feel like they died and gone to heaven(pun not intended). They also do this really cool field trips like going to a movie theater(as long they're PG or G rated movies), roller skate rink, parks, etc.
One day, the field trip we were going is The Rapids which is a small water park in Riviera Beach(it was small back then but today, it is huge!) and it was my first time going there. I had forgotten we were going that day because I brought my what I thought it was My Little Pony toy to show it to my friends who were collecting My Little Pony. We all put ours in our cubbies since we do not want to bring it with us as we feared we would lose it at the park. All of our classmates were there and we had a very good time at the park.
Sadly, when we got back, my friends and I went to our cubbies to get our stuff. My pony was missing from my cubbie! I was upset so me and my friends helped me to look for it. We checked the floors to see if it fell out, no luck. We checked their cubbies and everyone else, no luck either. I never found it again and I know it's none of my classmates as we were all there and the room was closed off from one side where we can't get to. It has the other door where it leads to other classroom and this one is filled with younger kids. I suspected it was one of them as the door to their side was unlocked and one of those brats must likely snuck in there and took my pony while the teacher wasn't looking. I tried telling one teacher about it but once again, like the one from preschool, she refused to do an investigation and blames me for 'loosing' it despite my friend's protests that they saw me putting it there before we left.
My pony, which I named her Rainbow, is actually a Remco pony(I did not know about fakie ponies from the real ones because no Internet to tell us back then). She had a yellow body with rainbow hair and was wearing a rainbow charm necklace.Here's a pic of what she looks like.
So what did I learn from all this? One, is that some kids are greedy little assholes who will take your stuff and never give it back and turned out that they're not good 'friends' after all.
Two, some teachers are not always reliable and blames you for the cause of their bad behavior. If I never bought in my favorite toys, none of this would have happened(because you know, victim blaming and all). Since then, I have learned to never show anyone of my favorite toys nor share with them. And mom wonders why I refused to 'share' my special toys to new kids.
