I was in high school, about 15 years old. I wasn't manic or depressed, which is why they think my dx should be schizoaffective. My English teacher couldn't follow my train of thought on my essays and started getting D's and F's as a result when usually I got A's and B's on them; I remember her writing "what????" all over my papers. I was hallucinating people playing violins, having command hallucinations as well as seeing insects all over the places and having severe paranoia. I hid under my bed for days at a time and stopped eating at a time as a result of the paranoia. I didn't even get out to go to the bathroom, and I got very gross. I believed two people were following me around and were abusing me daily. I was eventually hospitalized.
