Kids get influenced by other kids.

I was the kid who was too geeky for the other kids.

Other kids had more talent, but I was the most focused.

I was not developmentally disabled, but didn't mature at the same rate other kids did.

Like many other kids, I liked watching anime.

It was tough for me at school... trying to blend in and get along with other kids. I was an oddity and kids are scared of things they don't understand.
