One of the things that I wil never be able to forget, traumatic when it first happened, slightly trivial now... Back when I was in 6th grade and still living with my mom, I attended a pretty shitty middle school in Baltimore. I was walking home from school to get picked up at home by my Dad and Stepmom for Thanksgiving Break.

Anyway, I had gotten in an argument with some kids the day before, just said that so what happens next isn't a real WTF. I'm walking them I suddenly get kicked sqaure in the back, the force being so sudden I didn't have anytime to get my hands out of my pocket as I fell to the ground. I slammed my face, unguarded on the crooked pavement immediately bursting my bottom lip open. I remember calling the kid an asshole as he run down the street as dozens of my classmates watched. I then had to wobble 3 blocks back to the school since home was too far away. I made it to the school 5 minutes later as kids just continued to stand and do nothing, my shirt now soaked in blood. I wobbled up to the nurse's office on the third floor and had to remain there until 5 o' clock when my Dad had to rush to get me even sooner than planned, he lived 3 hours away, since my Mom had ignored all the messages my nurse left at home for her.

That sucked, I ended up with a dislocated nose, two black eyes and a permanent scar on my bottom lip which is still visible today, just a little round bump though. This shit was a catalyst for me moving in with my Dad and my Stepmom. Also, the kid who did it didn't get in trouble because he had a 'broken family' though all of us did.

Okay, storytime over, I hope you enjoyed it.  I was so paranoid for the next few months, I always had to walk on the grass until 7th grade. Now it's sort of a 'so-what' event in my life.

Middle school. 3 years of hell. Nerds like me got spat on and beat up a lot.

There was this one douchebag who chased me into the restroom stall, used that god forsaken bodyspary to choke me out of the locked restroom stall, and threw me in a dumpster. Middle school kids are EVIL!!!!!

If you didn't dress like a nerd, I guarantee that wouldn't happen.

My stint in junior high was pretty shitty too. The kids aren't as big of pricks in Canada as they are in the US, but it was still terrible.

bipolar, which I'm pretty sure was a result of my bodies reaction to hormones, since the condition is extremely mild today

everything follows out from there

umm when i was 6 two older kids held my arms and a third one hit my nose with a thick wooden stick, my nose is still tilted to one side a bit

when i would drop something my dad always got really angry and hold my feet in the air and hit them with a stick (until he got really old and i could run away from him   )
but now my dad and me are really good friends

when i was 11 i got kidneystones

i didn't get bullied 5th grade onwards even though i'm a little nerdy because I don't dress nerdy and I developed a really sharp tongue and learned how to humiliate bullies as a defense mechanism. I don't have to deal with stupid kids anymore now that i've reached adulthood. Although every once in a while i run into people who are trapped 10 years ago, at this point everyone already knows they're fucking stupid

but i want to be a teacher eventually so i can help kids survive grade school without being broken by the system.

2 years ago i didn't get reinvited to working at summer camp for flash/photoshop/robotics/game design because i let the kids stay up and didn't try to intervene when boys and girls were talking. we were trained to distract them with an activity or something if we saw anything that could be considered "flirting" or whatever. I mean if they were 10 that would be one thing, but i'm not going to treat a 14 year old like a baby. we were instructed that kids at that age are just curious or something, and distracting them with something else will make them forget they like the opposite sex temporarily.

so fucking stupid. kids who are a little nerdy are usually not the best at talking to the opposite sex, because of all the negative influences on them, and the negative attitude towards their interests. now in this environment that respects their passions, and around people who share their passions, they're not allowed to express what they're feeling. i mean seriously, every nerdy kid wishes they could get a gf/bf when they're in their early teens and havent figured out how to get any girl they want (which they will at some point in college, or if not, they'll just end up with a super hot wife because of their large brains). anyways, summer camp is supposed to be fun, but how are you supposed to have fun when all you want is a goddamn hug

the dentist yank most of my baby teeth long before they needed to come out

I had about half the teeth in my mouth ripped out by the dentist because my mouth is "too small". Novocain doesn't help at all in a situation like that. Hearing the teeth grinding against the bone in my jaw and the other teeth didn't help either. It was ok tho cause the dentist said it didn't hurt.

It wasent the way I was dressed. It was the fact that Im a computer person who respected his parents, I got good grades, and so on.

What I really hated is when everyone got on the computer to play games. When I did the same people just got into a crowd around me and the teacher would notice. I would always get booted off.

I COMPLETELY FUCKIN AGREE WITH YOU

that is really gay that they say you\\\'re supposed to distract them subtle-y

they should just make it a fucking rule that you have to uphold that you announce to the class, at least then they cant blame you

that episode of courage the cowardly dog with the computer generated ghost of ramses

[BloodyCheery]

that episode of courage the cowardly dog with the computer generated ghost of ramses

This reminds me of that one episode of Courage that scared the crap outta me and my brother. I only remember a swarm of locusts and a mummy-like guy who wanted his stone back. We had nightmares for weeks.


EDIT:

Wait, that IS the episode. My bad. I guess that same episode scared us both.

That is the episode he meant.

[BloodyCheery]

I just realized that. Thank you for correcting me.

i was scared of the dark when i was something like eight and we had to pick up my brother from the airport for visiting, which is 2-3 hours away from home, and it was around 10pm on our way back and we took a shortcut through some dirt road. it was so foggy we could barely see six feet in front of us. i was scared shitless and never wanted to go far away from home in the dark again
until i was twelve then i got over it
