3rd grade

middle school
How my middle schools were set up was in teams of a couple hundred people in each, 6th 7th and 8th grade I was put in a different team in each that never included people I knew so I constantly felt like an outsider and had to struggle to make new friends with people who were lucky enough to be consistently on the same team. -

wow autoimmune disease
Basically all my life I had pain so one day I got taken to a doctor that sent me to a GI that also advised I had blood work done. So when I was 9 years old I found out from all the blood work I had an autoimmune disease that also made me loose my hair sometimes but didn't at all explain my chronic lower abdominal pain. Basically I made awkward excuses for why my hair grew really patchy on my body, why I had a few baby bald spots, and no eyelashes on one eye. #startifmysocialawkward -
