When I was in school, I was often asked "are You retarded?" and told "You don't talk straight." The first statement was any student who talked to me at school, and the second statement came from a boy at school. Actually he was driving a jeep on the road and I called out to him when I was in another car, crusing around with a friend on Friday night in my town.

When I was 6 years old, I guess I had the reasong of a 2 year old because I didn't hit a girl back who hit me. She was also six years old and she told me to go pick the neighbor's flowers. I was taught not to do that without asking, and said "No." to her. She hit me several times and ripped the collar of my shirt. My Parents couldn't convince her parents that she did this, because it couldn't be proven because they didn't see what happened. She also came to my house and cried that I had hit her. I didn't. (Why my parents didn't tell her that she should tell her parents what happened because nobody hit her, is beyond me.) I was punished by being spanked three or four times and saw stars. Then I was grounded all day long. Then in the morning my dad asked what I was going to do if the girl hit me, and I said, "Hit back." He seemed satisfied with that answer. she continued to bully me though because I didn't have the sense of Freedom in Life like she did. (In other words, her parents didn't hold her accountable when she hurt me.)

When I was 11 years old, a girl at 12, screamed and cried that I had stolen her magazine, and because I didn't write my name in my identical magazine, I had to give it to her. My dad said it was an honest mistake but he hollered at me that i should have known what she was doing, instead of telling her mother, to tell her "What's gone is gone, You LOST it." That's what my parents would have done with me if the situation was reversed. My mom also said that I should never have said something, but I was 11 years old with a 6 year old's mentality
