nice to know where that avatar is from there, ive been meaning to ask for a while.
in the vein of the original post, school sucked for most of the intellectual type people i know, myself included. i was a bit of a whiz bang academic around your age, and one of only 3 people from my school to go on to do university. despite being uninterested in working at school, most of the people in my year turned out pretty ok during the final two years once their pubescant douchbagness wore off, and i ended up with a nice bunch of friends. unfortunately as i was outclassing everyone so very much in the schoolwork department i got very lazy, which did not serve me well at all for my final school marks.
uni was nice for a while, until my brain decided to come down with this lovely thing called bipolar disorder. cue another 2 years of being rather lonely again until all the delicious pills the doctors gave me took effect, and now im working, not studying, and have a rather excelent social life with awesome people in it.
so yeah, school tends to suck, specially if your any kind of different, like being the more clever kid in a bunch of stupid twats. or even being the one lonely jock in a school full of intellectuals. but stuff gets better. people tend to mature the hell up as they get older, you move on and come across people more like yourself at whatever work/study you move on to. and do keep up martial arts/some kind of sport, im 22 now and horribly unfit, i wish i hung on to my well toned sporty adolescent body.
also, i used to have the whole black hole thing. i was slightly underweight for my height until the last 2 years, when one of the afforementioned magical brain pills i was trialed on made me go from around 50 kg to 78 in the 60 days i was taking them. thats an amazing 110 to around 170 pounds for you savages who do not use metric. the changes to my metabolism seem to have hung around, as i can no longer eat anything i want and be immune to its fat content.
if your curious the tablet that made me gain weight so astoundingly was 2mg per day of the newish atypical antipsychotic called respirdal. it is a dopamine antagonist, and is used off label to treat aggression in people with alzheimers or autism, and to make anorexic people gain weight. my doctors thought the weight gain at the time was healthy, as i was turning into a bit of a walking skeleton at the time. i was not in any way aggressive, btw. just completely off the wall mental.
respirdal did not work at all for me, nor did the kaleidescope of other funky tablets i was being given at the time. took quite a while for them to find something that worked for me. also, the complete anonymity of the internet and the fact that nobody i know is interested in DF or any other bay 12 game leaves me with no problems talking about this here. if you have reasonable questions, do ask, although ive not had nearly the hellish time many with similar problems have to go through, and am currently pretty well off.
