I was living in a very multicultural city, but I had issues with settling between India/Asian guys and also natives. I took part in any and every activity possible, was part of the soccer team in the first week (even though most people didnt know who I was), for whatever reason, it was impossible to get accepted as an "outsider". It took me 3 years to get into a comfort zone, but just because I had different opinions, and views. I guess it's an experience in life, and you learn about people from this.

When I was that age I used to go to luch alone and sit wherever I could find a place to sit - and sometimes boys made silly jokes such as hiding away my knife and fork, so that I would go to the kitchen to get some and then when I came back to my place everything I needed was there... funny now that I am talking about it and well into my forties :wink: but back then it didn't make me laugh, oh no... do we lack humour as teenagers, or is it that some other teens just do not know the difference between having fun and hurting other people... And yes I could also tell a story or two about being laughed at, misunderstood and feeling different... But "what does not kill us makes us stronger", doesn't it? :wink: High school, yeah… When I was that age I used to go to luch alone and sit wherever I could find a place to sit – and sometimes boys made silly jokes such as hiding away my knife and fork, so that I would go to the kitchen to get some and then when I came back to my place everything I needed was there… funny now that I am talking about it and well into my forties :wink: but back then it didn’t make me laugh, oh no… do we lack humour as teenagers, or is it that some other teens just do not know the difference between having fun and hurting other people…

Some try to show empathy towards you and your problem, sometimes discussing a past experience they may have had similar to you. Some, tell you to get over it, don't cry, it could be worse. My freshman yr of college, I took a class dealing with communication & gender, which changed how I looked at the world (including my own life.) Often, women want deal with problems by desiring and sharing empathy and men "suck it up" and deal with it. Maybe this is why I never get along with me, I have almost always wanted empathy. I donno, just wanted to share @yaser omer comment made me remember that. @Mona

It's just a story I am telling. That's all. It is over from long long time ago.I just felt like sharing. Jeez. @yaser omer

Hope your eye gets better soon -I hate eye infections :cry: Its sad and true how girls were treating you that way just because you were different... Imagine growing up not only with an older mind, but also with a fat body! I used to sit with my brother or sister, but mostly alone... I wasnt different, no: I was interested in boys, I had no boyfriend, I listened to their music, I didnt learn the lyrics, I was interested in books, they hated them (except for Sweet Valley-which I hated!), I used to watch what they call boring movies, they used to watch cheap romances... I wasnt different its just that I was not interesting enough for them!! - as simple as that really, plus I was fat.. Young teenagers suck Thank God we grew up!! Your eyes still remember your pain, and they reminded me of mine... ^^ Oh my God… Hope your eye gets better soon -I hate eye infections :cry:
