Like @JLeslie, I hated getting up early. That part was torture for 13 years.
From age six to ten, I was very shy, but a good student. Teachers and kids liked me, I just couldn’t quite believe that.
Age 10 to 11, I was still well-liked by the teachers – slightly bullied by some boys in my class, though.
Then, I went to school in Korea for two years. I fit in perfectly, there. People liked me, and this time, I knew it!
Age 13 to 16, I was back with the bullies. They never hurt me, just made fun of me. I got a handle on them during my last year.
Age 16 to 18, I was entirely happy with my fellow students. I found a great group of friends, and got along well with most teachers.
