[STARLIT]

Someone once told me I was selfish. I asked them why would you say that? He said because I had so much love and kindness and I kept it to myself in many way. I honestly was very quiet and shy growing up. You remind me of myself years ago.

I woke up mornings never knowing where we were going to live the next day. I attend 5 different grade schools in my first 6 grades of school. So I had to make new friends every time we moved. And I wasn't able to say my last name correctly. So I talked as little as possibly to be invisible.

As much as you think your without friends I have news for you...many here as me look for your post all the time. You have many friends. Hugs.

I’m so sorry you had to grow up like that, Star.
How terrible!

From kindergarten up until my sophomore year in high school
I was shunned, made fun of rejected to be chosen for teams in phys ed., etc.

The little black kids, polish kids, and kids like me hung together.
In MY case, I was called “Dirty, stupid, ugly a “river Rat” a savage and other things I don’t care to type.

My Crime? I was a French Canadian Child.

Kids can be VERY cruel. I don’t care what ANYBODY says, you carry that hurt all of your life.
I did NOT believe sincere compliments and so on.
I WAS however a very good sketch artist.
When the snobs wanted posters for Class President and so on, I CHARGED them for the art work. They paid!

I just got an invitation to my 50th class reunion-I threw it in the trash.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Star!
