| I'm an underachiever on purpose once I've learned the new unit in any subject I won't do the homework. But I think that I don't struggle in any of those areas except social interactions |

| I'm in science class(middle schooler) and I'm explaining half life to a "peer" and he doesn't understand so he simply says that I'm a ret*d and that nobody likes me. I had no idea what I did wrong. |
