Hot damn, and I thought my school years were tough!
I spent pretty much my whole primary and much of my secondary school years curled in a corner with a book, because in the first I was a bitchy brat who screwed up friendships, then my one good friend moved away and I had a habit of shifting on my chair alot, so everyone else pretended I had a disease, called me 'lurgy girl' and gave me a wide birth. As a result, I entered high school as prickly as a hedgehog with a time-bomb temper and thinking everyone was teasing me behind my back. Then I met my first two best friends through a mutual love of theatre and books (plus the mutual conditions of sheer craziness), expanded my friendships through them during college whilst giving myself a kick up the arse to be less of a bitch and am now actually getting the hang of friendships. But due to a bad experience with a boy, I still stand out as a bit of a freak because I don't want a boy or girl-friend.
And here comes university to devour my soul! O.o
And yes. Braces and short-sightedness be-eth here too.
