text: I really hate that crap.  And it infuriates me.  I once read that something that is common to every human being is that we want to be valued.  When someone totally ignores what I've said, and thinks it's so cool when they find out about it somewhere else later, or, when the bozos "discover" it themselves and have no recollection that I was the one that told them about it, it is such a de-valuing experience.  It makes me angry, it makes me want to do ANYTHING to get them to give me some credit.  And the sad thing is, it happens all through life, not just when you're young.  The only thing I can do is try to never dismiss people in my life, and to value what they say.
