i know this has already been said but...
you are AMAZING!!!
and why do you care if people don't appreciate you for who you are?
i get teased for what I look like too
tall, gangly, red hair, not the BEST complexion...
i think you should write more of these stories, they're VERY inspirational
i think you're a lovely person, a fantastic writer, and you actually UNDERSTAND things, unlike most people; where things go RIGHT over their heads.
keep writing, and keep holding your head up.
and if people keep teasing you, they'll stop; once they've found someone else to pick on.
I LOVE you David!!
And i mean that
