Failed 8th grade for a lack of caring and not doing work at all. Anger phase. Passed summer school, went on to 9th grade. Shit happened. Failed the grade. Went Cyber. Passed with flying colors. Went Hybrid. (Electives at school, went home for main classes) Switched back to Cyber half way through the year.

Personally, I never really had popularity problems. I mean, I was never the coolest person, but I have friends on both the ultra-nerdy, and the "jock" side. I was always a middle man. Yeah, some people don't like me, but I don't like them either. I don't like talking to people I'm not comfortable around. I wouldn't say "loner", but somewhere close.

Hate to admit it, but in 8th grade, looking back, I was a bully asshole. Only, I never got physical with it. That was the line for me. If I saw physical bullying, even in 8th grade, I would threaten to get physical with the bully. I actually ended up apologizing for everything extensively at the end of the year, and 3 years later the kid I was a bully to is one of my coolest friends.

Long response, I know, but I wanted to point out that school is a hassle for a lot of people. Shit changes. Your ideals and ideas will even change as shit goes on. You'll look back and see faults with yourself from this very moment.

Life's a god damned puzzle.
