Me too. I always fell under the category of "not normal" for some reason or another. First suicide attempt was age 8 (my mom didn't know that until eight before she passed over 20 years later), and before that I was subjected to a battery of tests other kids didn't have to do at school. They said I was "gifted" in some ways, but clearly I struggled in others (like focus, behavior and attention), or they wouldn't have been testing me in the first place. I ended up spending all of grade school as a freakin TA, mostly for ESL classes. It had its perks, but got boring fast. I spent half of 7th & 8th grade heading upper level English papers before getting expelled for things they could never actually prove I did.
