"What was really funny is that as I got older all those guys who called me a sissy in junior high school wanted me to be their best friend because they wanted to meet all the girls that I knew in figure skating"

About this Quote
This quote by Scott Hamilton is a funny reflection on his experience maturing. It speaks to the idea that individuals frequently change their opinions of others as they get older. In this case, individuals who had actually previously teased him for being a "sissy" in junior high school had changed their tune and wished to be his pal. This was likely since they wished to meet the girls he knew from figure skating. It's a funny pointer that individuals's viewpoints of others can change over time, and that often individuals's motivations for being friendly can be rather shallow. It's likewise a pointer that we need to never take the opinions of others too seriously.
