Hmm...13, 16, 18, now?
Honestly, nothing really definitive during those years as really much change going on. So let me add a few years to show a difference by going by 10, 13, 16, 18, 21, and now.
10: Got into fights every day with other kids. I was extremely aggressive and it was starting to get to me. Also I started to wear plastic braces on my legs...which made other kids want to pick on me...got even more aggressive.
13: Got sick of fighting all the time, gained weight, became a loner.
16: Began expanding my mind reading a lot of books, was a B average student, had some friends, but still felt inadequate and mostly alone.
18: Discovered how to be social, lost weight, developed a personality, gained more friends, continued expanding my mind.
21: Joined the Navy, and felt like I had lost everything I had gained, worked to much, got yelled at all the time...worse than high school, drank a lot, got into fights again, felt like I was in arrested development.
Now(32): Want to go back in the Navy because I miss the sense of structure I got from that life, realized my time in the Navy wasn't that bad as I made it out to be. Now trying to write a book about my experiences.
So there!
