Childhood

When a hangout becomes a nightmare
Alexa had heard stories about the new neighbor since they moved in. The new guy was very different from what anyone expected but she couldn’t bring herself to hate him. He just didn't seem like he wanted to be there, that's all. Maybe it was because they were two of the youngest kids living there. There wasn't anything wrong with that but it seemed as though he would never really have fun unless someone forced him. She had seen her brother, Shane, talk to people on the phone but he never acted out like the other boys did. That was good right? At least until today.

Why Did You Hate Me So Much?
Tears fill my eyes as I write this Mother’s Day Confession. It is with a sad heart that I share this, growing up I went through hell. Why did you mentally, emotionally, physically, and verbally abuse me as a child? I struggled with low self-esteem, negative thoughts, and feelings of self-doubt about myself that no child should have to endure.

living with ADHD
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 6-years-old. To say it's misunderstood both by people who have ADHD and people who don't have it is an understatement.

My First and Last Time Fighting a Bully
Before I begin to tell you about my experience with a bully, let me set the stage. It was the early 90s, Vanilla Ice was flowing like a harpoon, Forrest Gump was running just because he liked to, and I was in love with Baby Spice.

Why you should invest more
When I was in college I had a great study routine. I went to the Helen C. White Library on the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison every Monday through Thursday night. I headed straight to the quiet study section of the ‘brary, found a private study cube, and focused intensely for 45 to 60 minutes at a pop.

Raised by crackheads
I learned from part one that writing about my childhood is super therapeutic. I was a little embarrassed reading part one over again. Noticing every little mistake. But hey, it's my story right? I'm going to jump right into this one.

What was the cruelest rumor you’ve heard about another kid when you were in school?
There was that girl that had been lonely all her life. People, especially in school, disliked her because she was “strange”, “a nerd”, “too quiet” and just “different”.

Runt Of The Litter
There I am, shy of 14. I never thought I was the runt; a little weak soul that didn't grow just like it should have. Never noticed the strange stares or sniggers and sarcastic remarks - I just laughed along too. Being the start of every joke wasn't so strange to me and even if it hurt my feelings, wasn't there peace in just smiling it away? Because where had standing up for myself ever got me. The answer you wonder? Nowhere. There was no happy place in confidence because my circle did not embrace me for who I was.

When We Were Young
When I was young, in the summer I would wait for my parents and everyone else in the house to go to bed at night. When I was sure they had, I would get up, sneak out and leave my backdoor unlocked so I could get back in, and hang around with friends in my neighborhood most of the night. It was dark and quiet, at the same time something was always happening.

Yeah, I Was THAT Five-Year-Old. Top Story - March 2022.
Remember your first days of school? The sea of kids. The improvised colored paper name tag pinned to your clothes on arrival. The way the teacher looked at you. The way the lunch kits smelled. The unknown threat of how your life would come to an end.
