Love, Bullying, and a ‘Neckbeard’ Past: A Tale of High School Transformation

In a tale as old as time, a woman finds herself in a heated discussion with her boyfriend about his high school past. Kase, the boyfriend in question, believed his lazy eye was the cause of his high school bullying. However, his girlfriend had a different perspective – it was his ‘neckbeard’ persona that led to the teasing. From his patchy moustache to his questionable fashion choices, she laid out the evidence. But as Kase’s anger flared, she found herself wondering if she had been too harsh. After all, Kase had transformed from a ‘neckbeard’ to a respectful young man. As the internet weighs in, we’re left wondering – was she right to bring up his past, or should some high school secrets stay buried? ‍♀️
