Ahh..Teenage years. Just not a great time for me I guess.
I mean, I'm 16 now, so I haven't yet escaped them, but Secondary (High) School was just, the worst time I have ever experienced.
People in general, being social, bullies, pressure, work, the In- crowd, fitting in, fashion & Style, weight, appearance, knowledge and all that teenage stuff!
I've always been one of those kids who get along better with older people. For instance, my brothers are both older me. One of them is 11 years older and the other is 13 years older than I am. So when I was younger and I didn't exactly gel with a lot of people my own age, I would see and spend time with my brothers and their friends doing things a young girl wouldn't normally participate in.
I listened to all kinds of music (most likely where my love of music came from), I witnessed older people drinking, I played quiz games way out of my knowledge zone, being so young and most important of all, I, along with my brothers had to look after my Mum.
Growing up, I watched my Mum go through loads of problems with health; every few months there would be the odd trip to hospitals. I guess this matured me, being the reason why I don't fit into the average teenagers routine, because I'm not exactly a teen in my mind and my level of maturity seems higher than others.
I was always the geeky and nerdy one, who wasn't attractive.
I was the goody two shoes, who got high grades.
I was the one who was targeted when someone wanted to tease or bully.
I was the one who was constantly laughed at because of the way I looked.
I was the small, self conscious one.
And last but not least, because of all of these things - I was the one who was chased out of school!
Let me just tell you that being the geeky and nerdy one isn't a bad thing.
It's better to be the nice one, who achieves high grades, than be a bully who doesn't care about grades.
Be yourself and don't let anyone change you!
Geeks and Nerds rule!
Embrace it.
Smile :)
