[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 498075, member: 7083"] Yeah, sometimes a kid would say something, but until the 10th grade I always lived rural and went to small schools and the other kids didn't tolerate that. Everyone knew everyone. I also acted like I didn't care (even though I did) and no reaction isn't fun for those trying to provoke one. Plus, I was pretty and smart and even though it shouldn't be that way, you seem to be able to get away with more. I was one of those kids who liked learning in school (even though I said I hated it cause that's what you're supposed to say), but hated the social part. I hated assemblies, pep rallies, lunch time. I would leave early or find a way to skip assemblies. My senior year in high school, a girl told me (not being mean at all) that everyone thought I was stuck up, but that I was just really shy. It wasn't called "lack of social skills" then. You were shy. So, in that respect I may be of no help at all. Today, I really don't care what people think, and I really only cared when I was younger because it highlighted my "differences". As I got into high school, I started to (consciously) embrace my differences. It helped. [/QUOTE]
