Growing up in a small town, and not being the popular religion, I was an outcast until my junior year of high school. It started in about third grade; the kids couldn't play with me. There was almost a full school year I was held by two kids and kicked in the crotch by a third, as well as the regular fist fight. I was extremely thin and not strong enough to fight the three kids back. Eventually, I was taken to the doctor and he put me on steroids, it wasn't so I could fight back, I was just really, really thin - and that's not healthy, least of all for a child. I blew up quickly and got stronger. I won every fight I was in from that day on. It didn't take more than about two weeks before they left me alone, physically.
When they couldn't pick on me that way any longer, they started in with the emotional stuff. I couldn't go to birthday parties, or do other things other children could. I made a friend or two, mainly the other outcasts - the troublemakers even though I was a good kid so I got a bad rep for that.
That continued throught high school, where I couldn't go out with the girls. My whole high school career I went out with one girl.
So I turned to drawing. I was good enough to win their respect by my junior year. In 2000, I was accepted to a major art school that accepts 117 students a year based on portfolio but I couldn't afford tuition.
Tried college, fell in love, had my heart broken and re-broken by one girl - and since, my life has been a big ball of crap.
I don't blame the kids, I blame their parents. But everyone makes mistakes.

I was not the popular kid in class. I was not the smartest tool in the shed but what made me have friends was being loyal to the friends who cared for you. I had real friends and they were the ones who liked me for being a hard working dedicated student. They liked me for being loyal to them and being kind to them.
I was left out in the cold by so many girls but do i care? NOOO!!!!! when i have millions of dollars and a good reputation, i am happy that i followed what i wanted to do and not be bossed around by what others say.
Trust me... I wanted to become an architect but was not well received because others were too obsessed with who took more drugs or who lost their virginity. I focused on being an architect and guess where I am, I am in one of the best universities in Sydney. WHO gives a hoot if you are the left out one. what does not kill you makes you stronger.

yeah i just started school this week, and everyday ive been left out at school. i mean by my own best friend. like id be walking with her or something and then shed see someone else and totally ignore me. then the whole day id be by myself. id be sitting by myself and when my "friends" are talking and i come over to them they become all silent and stop talking. its embarrasing coz this never happened to me. i hope it doesnt stay like this for the rest of the year.

When I was in kindergarten the school had a fire drill and we all went out of the school. I didn't know I was supposed to return so when I was left out I walked home. Does that count?
