I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time with school. Yeah, I can totally relate. I started having troubles in school when I was about 11 or 12. I was smart enough, I just couldn't seem to keep up with everyone else. I'm not one that puts much faith in the school system to determine if you're smart or not in the first place.

Hang in there. BTW, you ARE NOT taking up any space at all!
