Powerful stuff's been said, I'm just here ta tell my story.
It was 6th grade when it hit the fan. i was gullible, naive, and shy. add aspergers syndrome, and i was the guy flying an ultralight in a dogfight between MiGs. i nearly went insane. took me atleast 2 years to fully regain my former self. ran into another bunch of hudlums. this time i was prepared. they would brag about all the stuff they do when out of school, and id smile to my self thinking how i was succeeding and they were sleeping all day. now i am pursuing training in CADD so i can further my pursuit of aeronautical engineer. and i did get eagle scout.
now sonn, i know that whoever employs you next will be eager ta hire an eagle scout.
and about the girl thing, yes. they are everywhere. there were a few of them in the program i was at not to long ago. my buddy there said it best. "They have to love themselves before ever loving anyone else." and when i asked why they go for the violent guys in a group discussion, i never got an answer. it still baffles me as to why they go fer the jerks instead of the nice guys.(and by nice i dont mean submissive and dumb as dirt)
i guess having my "crisis" early on just made me grow up faster. kids my age and adults cunfuse the heck outta my with their social "walk arounds" and over complications.
well ive ranted too much.
