His story about his school years is a lot like mine.. Not that I got teased THAT bad, but they did tell me that I was ugly and I felt weird (still do sometmes). 100,000 people can say 'You're beautiful!', if the next person says 'You're ugly' then I believe him/her and think the others just said it because they were being nice..
It's kinda weird because if I look in the mirror I can see that I'm not ugly at all, I look very different now than when I was in school. It's just something that's stuck in your head, just like Mika said.
And I'm also VERY suspicious about new people, don't let them into my life that easy..Just because I think people will make fun of me and think I'm a weirdo...I know I'm not but the thought that people may think I am is enough to not let them into my life..
Ah well.. Nothing interesting about what I just said, just said it because I can relate to Mika's story and I think I know how he felt and feels sometime, but than again: I'm sure a lot of people have felt/ feel this way.
