Elementary school was awful

Post Reply New Topic

Elementary school was rough. Jumped every day, bloody noses often, Got urinated on by a group of people one day. Ever since then, I have lost faith in people. It may sound harsh, but people have to prove themselves to me before I accept them as a friend. I started drugs before fourth grade to escape from reality. Some people will get mad when they find I don't defend myself, but I hit one person 12 years ago, and let's just say it haunts me to this day.

I had similar experiences except for the drugs-when I was 12 and did not know about my AS - another kid came up behind me-now the kid was also a special needs kid and a good,nice kid and was just horsing around but I have a thing about being touched from behind and he grabbed me and I was startled and swung around and punched him in the mouth and he ran away crying and that day I vowed I would never hit anyone ever again for any reason. I was teased and bullied-never had blood shed but it was a nasty time.

It shouldn't haunt you, he got what he deserved.
