    Personally as much as the teachers didn’t help it’d have been better if the classmates were more accepting. Mean you hoped the teachers would be nice but classmates were the issue usually. Cause who were you friends with besides classmates, the teacher? Or just books? Mean had a couple friends but very few so was mostly books for me.

    I can look back now and see a few teachers were nice and tried to push me towards a different attitude but I honestly could not understand it at the time and I could probably never mask myself well enough to fit in. I had a very different perspective on the situation and nowadays I don’t really think too harshly on classmates that acted like regular kids. Mean unless they repeatedly harassed me but that’s a other issue. This was the early 90s mostly so long time ago, I’ve figured out things better but it took some time for sure.
