Thanks for sharing, everyone!
Most of "transgressions" were either not paying attention or more often not doing my homework when very young. Also, I was told that I talked a lot when I wasn't supposed to be talking. Honestly, I also thought homework was optional until maybe I reached 4th grade. Neither of my parents ever asked about my homework. I passed, despite.
Another thing I remember was when I was very young, even into middle school, I was in the lower levels of English and math. Again, I think this was mostly because I just didn't pay attention or do work. Then suddenly I decided that I was too smart for the lower levels and asked my mom to stand by me in requesting a move to the highest levels. Not even the middle levels. They did saying that it was conditional. The challenge made me try hard for the first time and I started getting A's or at the least B's in everything. By the time I graduated high school I was at the top of the class. I believe my bipolar disorder started around 14/15 years old soon before this "transition".
