The Effects of Fantasy

[Birdland]

If it wasn't for Fantasy books I would not be tyoing this right now. In the last couple of years I was so buillied, so teased that I became very depressed and I wanted to kill myself.

Araen - There are probably more than a few of us who know what you're talking about. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Having an older brother who is a high-function autistic (Except in the 60s and 70s there was no such thing as autism, you were just "weird"), and me being blessed with a last name that rhymes with - well, a certain type of plumbing - was enough to make me a target throughout most of my good ol' school days.

It does get better, though. Much better. Life and love, experiences and good times, (and yes, some bad, but you'll have good friends to see you through them) are all out there waiting.

School may seem like Mordor right now, but you'll get to Rivendell and Hobbiton, Lorien and Gondor before long. Hang in there.

And yes, King Carlton, I did escape into the worlds of Middle Earth, the jungles of India, the forest and fields of Camelot, and other places, to get me through the "bad times". [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
