I was a pretty normal kid up until age 13/14 when BP symptoms appeared starting with depression.

I was kind of a tomboy and liked sports a lot. I play multiple sports. I also really like school. It came pretty easy for me. Even back then I enjoyed books and writing. In 5th grade, I volunteered in my school's library during recess shelving books and stuff. Never really got in that much trouble in school. My parents never had to tell me to do my homework either. I was both a nerd and a tomboy, so nobody messed with me because they knew I could kick their ***. I always had friends as a kid.
