Weeellll... there goes your theory hun :) I was when I was young. I was a straight A student, who sat in the front row, never caused toruble, ect, ect.... But, in high school I caused quite a stir, underground newspapers, blowing kisses to a girl I disliked on our closed circuit TV program, causing trouble in class. I still got very good grades and was in college prep classes and the teachers loved me. But, I had a Mean Streak too.... :)
I think I SIed (haven't in maybe almost 1 year???? Since I started seeing Bubba and don't even have the urge to anymore !!! YAHOO for me!) because I had a very controlling mother. I couldn't talk back, for fear of her wrath. So, I beat myself up instead. When I left her house, I used it to express anger, as I still wasn't able to "talk back" or say, "Hey, you really hurt my feelings!" Now, I can. I've learned how. At first, I wa a bit out of control, uplifting tables and such :) but, now I can say I'm angry and be OK with just talking aobut it or going to my bedroom until things settle down.
But, I must say, when I caused trouble in high school, they never suspected it was me.... I didn't seem to be the type to do it. So, maybe your theory is still true? I was a good girl in school with good grades, ect. But, I did yhave a mean streak that finally came out. In my home environment, I had to get it out somewhere. School was the perfect place to do so, I'd say. They wouldn't beat me or kill me!
