I believe the same thing happened to Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, and probably Steve Jobs.

Keep getting good grades. Water always finds its own level.

Hey, there is some great advice in the previous posts and I have nothing unique to contribute, except don't worry about the girl thing.  Be a nice guy, and wait for the one who loves you as you are, instead of how she thinks you should be.  There's no rush.  Hang in there, be true to yourself, and be open to new opportunities and go have fun.  Don't let the negativity wear you down.

I saw your post when you first put it up, and have wanted to add my two cents, but now is my first real chance to do so. 

Like all the other guys here, I had my good and bad times growing up. But I got past the bad ones and put them behind me. There have been lots of tales related here and plenty of good advice here written down. To all that I have read I will add this- you said life is unfair, and I will say 'yes it is'. There was a saying we used to have in the Army. "Embrace the suck". Things will be hard in life at times, and you will have to learn to cope. I would suggeast that you grow some thicker skin towards the words of the dumbos. You do not need their approval in life. And unless your dream is to become a professional athlete, who really cares about how well you play a particular sport. There are plenty of sports out there, solo and team, that offer plenty of enjoyment once you find those you have a knack for. Do not turn to self destructive behaviors like drugs to do that. Bad times pass, they always do. Like many guys here have related, find things you can do, and learn to master them. You will gain your own satisfaction there, no matter what it is. Thru the internet and social media, I bet you will find like minded people of your own age range who can help you thru the rough times in life. You're lucky to have the good freinds that you mentioned. 

Tomorrow is a new day. Do not dwell on yesterday's bad events and have it drag down your today.

This is something that I live by. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow aint here yet. That leaves you with.........well.......today. Today is the best day of your life simply because......you've got it. Be thankful for it and splash those that try to ruin it for you, and people will if you let 'em. Hang in there tough guy, you've got this! Yes

I agree with everyone's advice. Me, myself, I'm a kid at heart even at 51 years old. I still love roller coasters. Heck my family & I went to Disney over Spring break and I could not wait to get my son on a few roller coasters. He loves every one of them. Kinda puts a tear in his daddy's eye even he shares the same type of music as I do (AC/DC, Aerosmith, KISS, to name a couple). Live will get better in time. Enjoy life and have fun. Ignore the bullies and idiots. Oh yeah... keep on modeling. We all love to see some of your builds here.

Hello ;

    I have to tell you , even in 1946 that same thing was going on .I got teased and bullied because , Number one ,I was the smallest kid in any grade .Number two , because I didn't look " Boy " enough !

      Funny thing though , I could row and run and that's where the bullies ( Jocks) got their comeuppance . Two seasons -Undefeated in single scull and two seasons undefeated in track.

   The "Little Guy " came through after all . It all worked out in life though, and after a good Military Carrer and Maritime career, I was a very good businessman till in my sixties . No more teasing then .    T.B.
