I got picked on a lot in elementary/middle. Too white for the black kids and well, black, so the odd accepting white friend here and there.
I was THE steve urkle of my class. Great at math and science, but too nice for my own good and twiggy.
Hahahaha its so funny to see martial arts mentioned on this page, I'd been practicing akido along with gymnastics sice I was 5 or six.
My first week of highschool I got challeneged to a fight by a lacrose/tennis player. He called my gf a bitch (to this day still the sweetest girl I've ever known, her father dissowned her for associating with me and had never even met me) and said he could kick the shit out of me bc I was a freshman taking calc. This news spread around my small hick highschool like wildfire, by the time we were supppsed to fight at the local soccer field there were 60 or so people there, some video taping. I was so nervous, no one there was rooting for me except my gf, her little sister, and my 1 verrry short and also nerdy asain friend. Looking back now it was like a bad 80s movie or the karate kid lol. Anyways the fight starts, we"re trading punches, he goes for a hay maker, and I land the only roundhouse I will probably ever land in my life, KO. Lol everyone is dead silent, I just kinda look around at everyone's blank faces. Everyone showed me way more respect after that day, I gained a massive amount of confidence, joined the track team, started smoking pot and actually eating lol. And the rest is history
