Hey guys, my name is Wyatt and I got a story to tell, maybe this story will help you guys. I was born with a severe case of ocd, adhd, Aspergers. Do to this I never really had any friends in elementary school. I would always be focusing on something else or doing strange things like running around the classroom, plus i was really quiet. I was a different type of kid.
When middle school came around, my parents said I was going to a different type of school now. They sent me off to a private school. This school was only one room with like 6 other kids, this school was designed to be more one on one with some children with learning disabilities and other problems like that. I stayed there for a while. While in this private school i, did for a while felt like I belonged somewhere, in my life, I was happy. However, around the 3rd year there I started suffering from depression. I started telling myself that It was not right to have these problems. I was saying stuff like. "Why are you like this Wyatt" "You are strange Wyatt" "Why do you belong in this school Wyatt, are you strange or something like these other kids?" I refused to cope with these disabilities I had, so I shelfed them away and pretended I didn't have them, I didn't want to be different from most kids my age, I wanted to be normal.
When high school came around my parents both agreed that I should try out public school. It was a big change. Since I felt I was different I didn't feel like i would make any friends, I thought people might find me weird because of who I am. However, I was mistaken, some of the "normal" kids at the public school started talking to me, not many but a nice amount. We all hung out at the lunch table and after school, I started opening up and I wasn't as quiet anymore. In my life so far I always felt that people would never accept for who I was. But after all that suffering I put myself through, I realized i was wrong, I now know that I can be accepted for who I am, and that I should accept myself for who i am, disabilities and all.
The morale of the story is, that no matter how much pain you have to go through, always know that there will be a light somewhere at the end of that tunnel. Its important to stay strong and never give up.
Thank you
