I'm glad that it was something you might notice in passing in the library, but mostly you were there for the books.
I'm glad that there were no social networking sites that you felt you had to join.
I'm glad that back then you could leave school at school.
I'm glad that back then you could leave the people at school at school and not have to deal with them until the next day.
I'm glad because I'm pretty sure I would have had first hand experience with cyber-bullying.
I'm glad because I'm pretty sure that I would have felt even worse about myself than I was made to feel for those two+ years.
I'm glad that I got out of there just in time.
I'm glad that people seemed to grow up when we finally reached high school.
I'm glad that I only had to deal with a few of the lingering effects during the first little bit of freshman year.
I'm glad that during high school the Internet was still finding its feet in academia.
I'm glad that I didn't have to deal with what some of these kids are dealing with today.
I don't know what would have happened if I had had to.
I don't think I want to think about it.
I know what might have happened, but I just don't want to think about it.
I already have to live with what did.
