When I was about 11 I would play dead in the YMCA pool and they'd actually think I was dead. sadly they figured out I was playing and yelled "stop playing dead!"
When I was little, I watched the movie "Ants" and every since, I look at everything as if it is living. Example: If i throw away a cup, I feel sad for it because it only wanted someone to drink from it and now its empty and alone.
When i go to the cemetery i often put flowers on tombs that don't have any. It makes me sad that nobody takes care of them.
When I'm sad or in a bad mood, I start dancing when I'm alone after school. Dancing makes me feel like myself and that I won't be judged by others. I have friends at school, but there are kids here and there who dont stop teasing me. But I'm not going to let them ruin my day, I'm going to think of the next time I dance.
Im 14 and sometimes, when i feel scared or sad, i still suck my thumb to comfort me. It's weird but makes me feel better.
