[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 402658, member: 1514"] H...I was very sick ...emotionally almost all my life. Something was very wrong with me. I have often wondered just what I would have been diagnosed with if I was a child today. I remember one really bad social situation that almost sticks out like a beacon to me of just how socially awkward I was. 5th grade. Very small private school that was either associated with the Methodist or Episcopalian Church. I cannot remember anymore. It was a school that ran 1st thru 6th grades. I started there in the 4th grade and left in 6th. I had been in another school in 3rd grade but it went out of business. Im much older than you so you probably dont remember but I was in school during a time when busing was a huge problem in large cities which was why I was sent to these private schools when I was young. Anyway..back to the story, On the last day of 5th grade they handed out report cards and all our grades were on them. Im sure you remember the old cardboard report cards where they had each 6 or 9 week grading period in blocks going down the page on the inside and it was folded like a card. There was a place on one side for the teacher to put remarks for each grading period and on the back of the card the parent had to sign it and kids returned them. Oh this is the ancient way of doing it...lol. Well on the last day of school, the teachers normally wrote if a child passed on to the next grade. I had all A's and B's however for some reason the teacher didnt write on my report card that I had passed. Maybe she forgot or maybe she thought I was smart enough to figure it out. All or maybe it was just a couple of bratty kids...but to me it was all...started picking on me saying that because it didnt say I had passed that meant I had failed and would have to take 5th grade over again. They had me in tears. I was so upset I was almost throwing up and was so scared my parents were going to beat me. I couldnt figure out what to do. Normal kids would have known they were making fun of me. I didnt. [/QUOTE]
