When I was in ninth grade, I would bark and convulse in my seat as a really severe tic.
Now in tenth, I still bark, but I act more normally. I'm also capable of being totally normal at times. I'm not ret*d, although I can understand how people may have gotten that impression. People who are in my small classroom treat me normally.
How to I communicate to the rest of my peers that I'm not as weird as they think?
