WOW can I IDENTIFY WITH THIS! I moved to HICKTOWN USA when I was 12 (a hard age anyway). I was very quiet, reserved, and didn't say much because these people were so afraid of outsiders. If you did not have one of the big last names in the county -then you weren't squat. If you didn't drink beer on friday nights and ride around in a 4x4 you were just totally out of place.

In the end......I ended up becoming very popular and gained many friends because I was different and I always took to the side of new arrivals that had to put up with the same crap as me. Give it time, you will find your niche. I chose to ignore them. It breeds curiosity!
