I was mediocre boy. I was in sports but was also a major "Band Geek." I even played tuba! The jock-type "cool" kids thought I was alright and the smart "geeky" kids thought I was alright. I think that I would be classified more of a class clown than geek or jock and everyone digs the class clown. That got me into some trouble though. I got suspended for wearing a skirt to school because boys were not allowed to wear shorts but girls could wear mini-skirts to school (not that we minded ;-)). So in protest, about 12 of us wore skirts. I got in a little of extra hot water because I unrolled one of those long Ekcrich polish sausages out the bottom. It was a rather surreal experience to get suspended while having the dean in tears from laughing so hard. I was a pretty sizable fellow in high school (6'0" and 190lbs.) so no one really messed with me.

I had the crappy glasses, the bad hair cut, the stupid looking clothes. In my high school, the special ed kids were all on the 3rd floor, or they went to a different school altogether, one more capable of dealing with them on a one-to-one basis.
