i was ignored as a piece of crap during most of the 9 first school years. i had no labels.
nobody had labels, it was a small school, it didnt form cliques. besides, it was in the 80's i dunno what sorts of cliques 80's kids would form anyway, especially in a school of less than 300 kids.
later tho, i got the label of
"Dino"
i was rid of the bullies, and was trying hard to build up an image of fun and cool.
"Dino" (based on my interest in paleontology) wasnt EXACTLY... what i had in mind after 3 years of being as cool as i could...
but its better than nothing i guess, and it was given in love, and not in ridicule, which is also good :]
