I was the weird kid. I went into children's entertainment. I was a clown. I bumped into an ex-classmate who said that she finally understood that I wasn't crazy, just creative.
No, you John Wayne Gacy .
â@@jonlyons1033 ... you are the one with the name. I wouldn't talk...LOL đđđ!!!
I was the weird kid too. I also ended up becoming a clown, dance performing on streets, living in the woods. Out of desperation of the darkness I was living in, I prayed to God in case he was real. I got a vision that night and saw the ghost of my cat before I knew he was dead. I went home to my family, made amends--something still wasn't right. Left for a 400 mile bikeride. Bike broke down 30 miles in. Ended up in small desert town on top of a hill. I was led to Jesus. Now I experience actual healing miracles as the norm, and I've never been happier, leaving the old stuff behind. Praise Jesus, and I'm only 25

@@projectdelta4926 I was the weird kid the bullying turned me into a dangerous heroin addict, been clean 3years now
Friend of the weird kid at my school, and possibly a weird kid myself. Really nice girl, always giving out home-baked goods for any special occasion. Yet I still hear kids trash-talking her behind her back. I think she's got a few mental issues and gets attached to the wrong people. Can't let go of toxic friends for more than a few months. It sickens me how people take advantage of her, but she continues to be such a kind person even to those who talk about her so terribly. For her sake, I hope she finds a way to make and maintain healthy relationships, and I hope eventually those kids will see her for all the good she's done, not her weird side.
Reminds me of one of my sisters. Needed others to want her. Slowly but surly she finally stopped hanging out with those people & now is in a better place. Hope that helps.
That's sad
Story 5 sounds so much like my high school except it was a girl sophomore year, and she took her own life (not a car accident.) It sickened me how everyone pretended to be sad afterwards.
The weird kid at my school would run home everyday. He eventually got a bike and rode that home every day. He once dove into a puddle for five bucks. He chugged a bottle of syrup at lunch one time and one of the assistant principals confiscated the bottle with the remaining 2% of the contents. He is now doing well as a calibration technician for a company that makes medical implants. That person was me. A video was taken of the puddle dive and it is still on my CZcams channel.
nah youâre literally a national hero
Ah frick Iâm watching that
â€â€â€
The weird kid was smart, always kind, yet was bullied for years. Would always be found reading geography books in the school library every recess to avoid social interaction. Went from a geography nerd, to an anime/cartoon fan and STEM nerd. Later on, the bullying stopped and she found her people that share her sense of weirdness and nerdiness. Now, she's in college, majoring in electrical engineering, and has way more friends than before.
Hi, the weird kid is me. Although thankfully bullying is close to zero in college, which encouraged me to give socializing a second chance, i still fear the day my college friends cut our friendship off. Oh, i forgot to mention. I'm autistic and have ADHD.
I was one of those weird kids, sadly my life didn't work out great. Was kind of a spaz because I had serious social issues involving neglect and systematic abuse but I covered it up trying to protect my family from the authorities because that's what my abusers told me I had to do.
Mostly outlived my abusers only to develope a brain tumor that was probably related to multiple untreated concussions I received as a kid. Managed to live through that only have my mothers new husband basically steal everything I owned. Now I'm disabled and living with an old GF and her husband on the other size of a country from where I was born. One good thing in my life was that I was at least able to save my two younger siblings from all of that trauma and they were able to grow up and do well for themselves.
I hope you can be with your siblings again one day even though people have there issues ether it's abuse, bullying, or a mix of the 2 everything will be okay and remember stay determined
Sometimes just surviving is a victory in itself. As long as you're alive they didn't win.
How should they have treated your concussions? I'm genuinely curious
@@RaptorFromWeegee Well, being taken to the doctor _at all_ would have been a start.
@@dogofwar6769 Sounds like you've had a hard upbringing and a lot of bad breaks. Try not to get disheartened, and keep your chin up. Just because lots of bad things happened to you doesn't mean that its impossible for good things to ever happen you, especially if you're ready to accept them. You were there for your younger siblings and saw to it that good things happened to them, that proves you're a good person. I can see that and I'm sure other people can see that too.
I took some comfort from this thread. I was 100% the weird kid. Very precocious, had no friends. Parents pushed me hard. I ended up finishing high school at 13 and went straight to college. Parents kept trying to convince me there was something wrong with me-that I was autistic or something.
It wasnât until I met and married my husband at 21 that I saw a neuropsychologist and was diagnosed with PTSD. Turns out my family of origin was actually terribly abusive, followed by my on and off again boyfriend of four years. I had no idea. Everything my family said was weird behavior was actually normal considering my circumstances. Everything weird in public that I did that made people hate me-it was bad socialization. I went no-contact with my family of origin between my wedding and the birth of my first child.
Iâm in my 30s now. Three kids, married to a school teacher, live in rural Idaho. No one here knows I was the freaky genius kid. Itâs been 20 years since high school and I still have nightmares. As I grow, the more little ways Iâm discovering Iâm f*caked up.
So this thread was interesting to me. I wasnât the only weird kid who was acting out due to abuse.
Iâm sorry that you had to go through that experience with your family
I was the weird kid. I went to school with undiagnosed autism, during a time when autism really wasn't diagnosed as much in girls as in boys, and so instead of giving me support that I probably could have used, I got a lot of pressure and abuse from adults.
I didn't have any friends back then because I didn't understand what was appropriate socially speaking, and I barked like a dog which certainly didn't help. I turned out OK.
*High-fives you in late-diagnosed autistic*
Iâm Autistic myself and I get it, my classmates didnât like me either.
@@allisonkrueger8330 that's rough buddy.
Autistic myself. Socializing is like a logic puzzle. I get it
I was the weird/quiet kid. Undiagnosed autism as well. I just didn't get everyone else. Nothing much has changed.
"And that kid was Tom Cruise" threw me off so much I broke into ugly, coughing laughter
You know what's messed up? I would believe this. Because it's Tom Cruise. Any other actor? No. But Tom Cruise, absolutely.
I was the "weird kid" turns out I have autism and didn't realise until nearly 30yo
I wonder how many other "weird" kids are just neurodivergent, and that's why they struggle with social stuff
Just read the comments, there are a lot of us. I hope that means that the new generation of weird kids gets more support than us.
@@dude988 They do, but still not enough. Because we were never taught how an adult should help a kid with it, so we have to work through that. My mistake was thinking I could have done better if my parents had had more time for me, so I figured I could handle things on my own. Now I need to try and get my kids diagnosed and all the therapists are too busy to see us.
Yo, same boat! Thereâs so many of us. Turns out most of my HS friends were neurodivergent too. Go figure!
i was a weird kid, but not the weirdest kid in my school, or maybe even my grade. but i was one of the few openly lgbt kids in a baptist school, so i still got picked on and bullied until later high school (when people began to rely on me for some reason or another). i never moved from my area and still keep in touch with people i went to school with, tbh a lot of my friends from school were really supportive of me coming out as trans after graduation. my best friend has been my best friend since i was a junior, hell, im still close with a girl i went to kindergarten with. theres one fellow weird kid from my school that im pretty sure is still local, and im trying to reconnect with him just to see how hes doing.. i saw him a year ago and accidentally brushed him off ig ?? i didnt notice he was coming to talk to me after i waved at him and i felt rlly bad when my dad mentioned it after id walked away
Former weird kid here. I remember being one of the most talkative kids in the class, I do weird stuff like hugging a pole that was standing in the middle of the class (not in a strange way; just hugging it), I play the same song everyday, I say random crap out loud, etc. It was like this for five years but I'm perfectly aware if I'm taking the joke too far or not.
That is until the pandemic hit and everybody's stuck at their homes. Throughout those years, I began to feel less hyperactive and weird and began to feel cynical and developed an existential crisis. I began to experience mental breakdowns and I just blame every problem to myself. Now that I'm back on face-to-face classes, I sort of lost that weirdness inside me that I somehow miss, and I began to question my own life. I do still miss it. But it ain't all bad, I've talked to my family about it and I started socialising with people I meet...
@@karenbertke3149 Hey there!
I actually have been talking to my mum, but the problems kept coming back as time passes. I feel alienation, paranoia, I have a distrust towards everybody and their motives, and socialising feels temporary. I have nobody that I can talk to. It's really hard to fit in when you have different interests, thoughts, etc. to different people. I suppose there is a reason why my Mum is so worried why I'm talking to my imaginary friend which, believe it or not, is the only somebody I can trust everything with.
I actually have self-awareness of what I'm going through and just wish everything goes back to normal for me again. I wish your mate gets better and you yourself as well, it's a tough time for many people.
I was that kid in school and after. Normalcy escaped me entirely failed at normal life. I got into long haul trucking at 25. 40 years later retired, found my dream girl, life is a struggle, but with my wife by my side, it all works out by the end of each day.
I was the weird kid. I was the high schoolâs naruto hallway runner. A seasoned professional at dodging and weaving past the crowds at supersonic speeds. And I made video games my entire personality lol. Now Iâm a novice game developer, fresh out of college. đ
Mad respect! I think we would have been in the same friend group in high school đ
I was the weird kid in school.
I was good in art and all girls in my class (including me) were into animes and vampires for a period of time. Unlike the other girls I could actually draw whole anime figures, added two bloody dotts and blood on the neck (might have been a bit too much but I was young and even tho I was the best in art, its still fair to say I wasnt very good). Long story short, my teachers thought I was drawing dying people in class and worried I would end up on a rampage so they invited my parents and me over for a "serious psycho talk". One of the teachers didnt even show up cuz she was scared of me.
I gotta note, not ONCE did any of my teachers ask me what Im drawing or why Im drawing these things. They just assumed things and started making stories bout me together
i was the weird kid . Everyone bullied me for my interests , hoe i was etc. now im a pretty famous cosplayer in my country and a fashion desighners . They also bullied me for having toxic exs and im now in the most healthy relationships ever . Super proud of myself for choosing the right people to be around
only reason id consider myself a weird kid is because i never talked to anyone or made any friends. i wasn't mental or socially inept, just angry and very very depressed. i had a few people i would hang out with here and there but we wouldn't talk outside of school. my dad had recently offed himself at the time and i had moved down to live with my biological mom where i had no real friends. there was one kid who i was actually great friends with but their parents didn't want them hanging out with me because they thought i was into drugs and other illegal stuff to cope with what happened to my dad; which to a certain extent they weren't wrong.
my mom didn't set any boundaries for me so i kind of drifted around high school attending very minimally, started smoking a metric ton of weed every day, and fucked around at the skate park. for a while i was recognized around school as 'that kid' and i guess i had some sort of 'unwritten' popularity for being a mYsTeRiOuS person. but after a while i dropped out of high school in my senior year because i was still struggling a lot. decided id rather focus on work at the time and i'd get a ged later.
edit: i have orientation tomorrow for a pretty promising job that pays well. the hours are longer and the job itself is supposed to be hard, but im excited to actually get some real cash under my belt for an apartment to move into. i no longer drink or smoke weed and im also in trying to find some sort of ged program so i can get better jobs at this place.
overall it seems like the only way from here is up so thats nice. its nice to finally feel like im doing somewhat well in life instead of being a lonely loser that feels bad for himself all the time.
Story 26 made me laugh for some reason, maybe it was the narrator's imitation or the fact that they said they were a cat and almost got trampled by a car
Iâm a âweird kidâ, was horribly bullied my whole life (undiagnosed autistic) and my dad was a raging alcoholic, I have a lot of trauma and struggled with self harm and an eating disorder, I was the typical weird Emo kid. Iâm now diagnosed autistic, in recovery, my dad passed away which I have improved since. Iâm punk and still weird but Iâm an art student and going to go into tattoo artistry. Iâll always be weird in this neurotypical society so why not go into a weird career lmao
I really love your account. The way you tell the stories and share your funny opinions is great. Definitely my fav Reddit stories account
The only "weird kid" at my school was a kid named Mike. I don't remember much about what he did but he was made fun of behind his back and basically owned his weirdness. I never made fun of him but to my detriment, I never stood up for him either. My excuse at the time was I never had the opportunity, and I was pretty shy then. Well, in high school he contracted meningitis and died less than 2 days later. I went to the wake and I still remember him in his ninja outfit. A bunch of other kids were there, including some I knew personally who made fun of him. I hope they felt bad and grew up. RIP Mike.
I'm just watching to see if any of my old classmates are talking shit about me
I've been that kid. But my mother taught me tolerance, my father taught me when to use strength, and my grandparents taught me when to talk and how to talk. Ever since then, when I go back to my feral self, I remember their teachings.
Iâm fairly sure I WAS the weird kid, and was also not fairly stable cause ya know socially awkward teenager who thought ppl brought her happiness probably is gonna wind up a lil toxic too.
Iâm still weird as an adult Iâve just learn to embrace it and worked out the more problematic parts, so Iâm a lot better these days â€
I was the weird kid and I began work in farming after high school and later went a education for adults in farming. Now I am a farmhand on two farms and a hunter. I have to put down animals at work sometimes. People I went to school with are usually a bit chocked when I tell them I sometimes do the later and that I am a hunter. But it can be of the fact that I am very blunt with it. Very honest with it. To honest. But I feel I have to... So people understand what responsibility I have.
Turns out she was a trans girl. When I found that out it explained quite a lot. She wasnât exactly, âlike the other boysâ. But the process must have been too hard for her. She killed herself when she was 20. Only found out because a friend of mine was close friends with her in high school and one of the few people from high school she told about transitioning. And when he had to go to her funeral. Well, he was heartbroken. They had lost touch mostly after high school when he moved for Uni so they didnât see eachother so often. The only people at her funeral were her family and her old friend group from high school. She seemingly hadnât made any friends after leaving and had mostly lost touch with her old ones. He blames himself for not trying harder.
lol
@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 Laughing at a girl killing herself. What a terrible excuse for a human being do you have to be to do that.
I absolutely love this channel!!
Was wondering who the weird kid was and realized it was probably me. Am doing great: well educated, great job that I love, fun hobbies and volunteer work. So glad I got away so I could become myself.
I was the weird kid. I ended up dropping out a semester before I would graduate due to abuse from my teacher. I was extremely ugly in high school and had a major glow up and now boys swoon over me. Wouldn't say I'm doing the best but I had a lot of trauma from abuse in high school + BPD. I'll be getting my GED soon.
Congratulations on the upcoming GED!!
the guy who really liked batman and sharks made me visibly smile :D ( 14:50 )
Yooo I was the weird kid in middle and high school! I learned through trial and error what was and wasn't ok to say/do in public. Learned to keep my mouth shut, then learned how to socialize properly. Developed some emotional maturity, and leaned into my strengths. I'm more or less a functional human being now. I have a fairly active social life, which in hindsight really surprises me.
There were many weird guys in my class but the weirdest by far was "A" whom I went to school with from age 6 to 16. "A" had some sort of autism, I think, and always got special attention in school and later ended up in a special needs class. He was quite fun to play with in small groups of 3-4 kids but would shy away in larger groups, when we moved to a bigger school at age 12 he would stop talking almost completely.
When I was 22 I saw his obituary in the local news paper, I noticed that his dad was not listed among the grieving family. I new his parents were divorced so I didn't think too much about it. Later I found out from a common friend of our's what had happened.
"A" and his dad were both suffering from mental health issues and "A" had shared his suicidal thoughts with his dad. The dad had beaten "A" and their dogs to death and was going to end his own life when he was interrupted by a visit from "A"'s aunt.
According to my friend at least "A" and maybe his dad, too, had sought help for mental illness but the system had failed them.
I think I can say I was the Weird Kid growing up. And I'm now the Weird Adult. Back when I was in School I had Severe Social Anxiety. Had Social Anxiety my whole life. Along with Anxiety. Developed Depression in Middle School. I was so terrified of anyone my age range that I avoid Socializing as much as possible. I was ok on talking to Adults. But other Kids was terrifying for me. Plus the Adults had more interesting things to say. I mostly sat in a corner in the far back away from everyone. (Which was terrible because I couldn't see stuff. Which the first pair of glasses I got I couldn't wear. They have polycarb. Which both me and Dad can't have. Just imagine going on a acid trip within a few seconds. Things moving and slitting headache. Not fun. Which yeah Teachers tried to get me to wear them.) The only classes I did really well in I feel was Math and Art. Maybe Science. Suck horribly in Gym. (Which there is three good reasons. Arthritis, Scoliosis and having a hole in my Heart. Didn't find out about the second one until a few years ago. Didn't find out about the last one until 3 years ago.) I sucked horribly in Spelling, Reading and Grammar. (I have Dyslexia. No one told me. So I felt like crap for years.) I did get to take that IQ Test or whatever it's called for the last time. But only because the Person below the Principal noticed I talked differently than the others in Disabled Class. (I wasn't full on in the Class. I had Classes outside of it.) I aced the Math part. She was confused on how I knew these. I guessed alot from vague memory. I learned most from Dad and a certain Cartoon. Barely any of it from School. Now days I work as a Cashier. Do Art and research stuff in my down time. I'm also trying to learn 12 languages. I'm currently at the level where I can understand some stories in German and speak a bit. (Still super shy and nervous when speaking another language ) Can understand some sentences in Polish. Got most characters down in Korean, Ukrainian and Russian. I can understand a few Sentences in Spanish and maybe French. But my Spelling and Grammar still sucks. I do a wide range of Art. Traditional. Digital. A bit of Animation. Knitting. Jewelry Making. Candle Making. Flow Art. Planning to get into making Stickers, Prints, Sewing, Glass Work, Clip Art, Tie Dye and probably more. I love Art and very Passionate about it.
Forgot to say this. I was in Disabled Class because they thought I was Retarded. Just because of Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Depression and Dyslexia. All of which they couldn't figure out I had. And yeah pretty much all throughout School I didn't wear Glasses because of what happened. Plus the fact that I had a fear that I be bullied for wearing Glasses. Didn't help things that a Teacher basically called me Racist for waving my arms in the air when excited. Bruh I'm not Racist and will never be Racist. I'm mixed and I have Friends all over. Two of my Best Friends are from Malaysia. Two of my Best Friends are from Poland. My only Business Partner is from Poland. One or more of my Best Friends are Mexican. Me and my Partner plan to adopt two Little Disabled Girls one day. One be African or African American and the other be Indian. (Like India Indian.) We have names picked out. Which is Haru and Celeste. (Haru means Spring in Japanese and in Korean it means Day?. Celeste meaning is Heavenly. It's from Latin.)
I have a question
Why do u put lot of capital letters in your comments ?
Also you seem cool
@@Memesoon309 I'm Dyslexic and I'm trying hard to use proper Grammar.
@@Memesoon309 I also like to say sorry for not replying sooner. CZcams rarely gives me any notifications. So chances me seeing likes and replies is unlikely.
The different colours of text are much easier to understand. Tysm
I managed to get the weird girl as a clinger all through school. She was a nice girl, but her head was constantly in the clouds and she seemed to have a disconnect with reality. We dated for a bit and we were each other's first everything. When I shipped out for basic training, she ended the relationship because she couldn't handle the distance. It hurt, but it gave me motivation to finish BCT...and then I blew both my kneecaps out and ended up being medically discharged
If you look carefully, the weird kids are not the only weird people in the school. Schools are weird organizations!
Everyone has at least one weird thing about them.
There was this one kid back in 7th grade who would wear the same wolf hoodie for the whole year. This other kid was calling him names like âalpha wolfâ and âwolf pack leaderâ. The weird kid ended up slamming the bullyâs head into a desk. But itâs kinda karma, cuz the bully did slam me into a desk too.
I was a weirdkid in school, but was overshadowed by a different "weird kid" and to put it lightly, my life has not been good, or enjoyable, but hey, at least I don't have a criminal record for anything can't talk about on CZcams, so I guess it could be worse?
Quiet/weird kid here. I donât want to be like this, however I get weird episodes of panic in the middle of class. I donât know why. Just come up and talk to me, Iâd really appreciate it.
I was what people in my high school would have considered the weird kid, I had undiagnosed autism at the time and mostly kept to myself; to the point where I had stuff thrown at me in class and after I had a breakdown in class (also had mild depression building then I think; got diagnosed with that after college) I had people threatening to beat me up if I did it again; it took until I was in year 9 or 10 for me to make any sort of bond with someone and I made friends with a few kids in my year and those in my brothers year (2 years below me)
I was the weird kid. I just left my job as an officer in my local prison. You wouldn't believe the number of popular kids from highschool that i recognized as inmates. The stranger thing is that they recognized me too. Most were actually very friendly and just happy to see a familiar face. One guy, a jock in our highschool days, would even beatbox for me on my rounds lol
as a weird dumbass completely and utterly always bullied, social ostrisized outcast, this makes me feel better about my future
The weird kid in my year was convicted of paedophilia 11 years after the end of school. Was in the news.
That guy never stood a chance. His parents were seriously odd too.
I was the weird kid. I play many instruments, i do vocals at my live gigs, I also had substances, but I am 4 years sober today. I am not a college educated, but I am hopeful rockstar.
Y experience with the schools weird was nice. I used to the weird kid, and I just kinda took him under my wing. He had anger issues, and lashed out at everyone but me. People were convinced we were dating, nope heâs aroace. He grew so much by the end of high school, and weâre still good friends.
I was the weird kid at school. Serious social anxiety and all that wonderful stuff, which continues to this day. I work as a sysadmin, as I'd far rather deal with machines than people. Even just picking up the phone to talk to someone (aside from immediate family) and my brain still blue-screens. Few girlfriends, yet somehow I got married, but that didn't last, my (now ex-)wife tried to kill me by strangling me after an argument - nanny-cam footage of that ensured I got custody of our kid as she was considered dangerous. So now my main focuses are my kid, then my career. I still have the social skills of a breeze-block, and will most likely remain single for the rest of my life as my apparent coldness and inability to get the most basic of social cues seems to scare people. I was the weird kid, and am still the weird one.
The weird guy at my school would stare at me and hiss. He sometimes hung out with a friend of mind and one time there were 3 of them. My friend and his friend talking while the weird guy stared at them in deep contemplation. Then he spoke up and said "you know... I could actually kill you" like he had an epiphany. They were stunned of course and then got up and left.
Weird guy worked at a nursing home after graduation. I haven't seen him in years.
I was the weird kid at my school, basically the class clown of my school. The last time I remember telling a joke was when I was 12, I grew up out of it and I am 13 now and I am glad to say that my past friends have noticed A BIG CHANGE IN MY PERSONALITY. Video games, I basically am just a gamer now.
So, I was the weird kid, always wearing headphones doing weird stuff people didn't understand, and I had a tendency to just attract bullies and get pushed outside social circles.
Last year of school I didn't even show up.
But about a year after graduation, I remember meeting 2 old classmates who were shocked to see me.
One of them commented "I thought you were a myth"
The other who I had grown up with since we were six commented he was surprised I wasn't dead after everything.
To this day that has stuck with me, I now introduce myself as the myth of town X (I'm from norway my town was selected as town X for some music festival years back ig if you really look for it you can figure out where I used to live)
im the weird kid at my school. im pretty sure if i died everyone would either celebrate it, be all fake like the ones in that story, or not even notice
Iâm proud of the âweird kidâ that grew up to become a social worker
I was the weird kid in my class. A overweight nerd into paganism, reading, science fiction, fantasy, theater, music, and computers (back in the 80s/90s).
Iâm not doing too bad. My midlife crisis is working at Starbucks to get the experience to open a cat cafe.
The weird kids always get into paganism. I always figured it was a stab at the rich preppy kids because they went to church and represented mainstream as Christianity is the mainstream religion in America (assuming youâre from USA)
@@oompaloompadoompa-de-doo3614 For me it was a little more fascination with history, different religions, the supernatural, and being a little turned off by some of the contradictions in Christianity.
The ending of the first one tho FUN GUY!!đđđ
As a kid with autism it's annoying/hard to try to make good jokes, start conversations, and making friends people then decide if the joke / conversation is good then say if their wierd or not.
I grew up the weird kid and the âweird quiet kid is secretly a shooter or just mentally illâ jokes would always make me sad or scare me bc what if my brain was bad??
Turns out I have autism and Iâm the quiet weird kid bc I didnât realize I had autism.
Its ok đ
YIPPEE
I'm willing to bet, given this is an Askreddit, 9 out of 10 stories are the actual wierd kids telling their own stories, at least the funny or tame ones
I had a number of weird kids in my school. One of them was a guy who hung outside at nightclubs and helped out the bouncer for free whenever there was trouble. He was also into punk rock as well. Several years later, I found out he was Jewish and became a rabbi. He looked very orthodox. Jewish too.
Weird Kid either becomes a criminal or get the greatest glow up
I was one of the weird kids... I hid under tables, regularly volunteered in the library so I didn't have to interact with my peers, ate paper, regularly forgot to shower or use deodorant, horrified by the concept of sex and dating (all of this in highschool).
I still struggle to remember to do the basics eat, sleep, shower, etc... I'm listed as a high vulnerability to neglect but I'm working on that. I have been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome as well as a number of mental health disorders. I do therapy a couple of times a week to learn how to manage living with my conditions. I run a support group for others with Tourette's and I'm on the board for the most recognised charity for Tourette's in my country. I've come out as queer, and I'm studying to be a primary school teacher. I'll finish Master's of Teaching at the end of the year. I'm hoping to support young weird kids to see that they can achieve success in their futures. That university, careers and happy lives are possible despite having a disability, coming from a working class background and complicated family situations
I liked the pun at the end of story #1
"In case somebody needed to be told today. Don't stick it into crazy"
Sooo True. Or let crazy stick into you.
The weird kids that I knew were actually really chill, they're sense of humor was just kinda random and strange, and I got along with them because of that
Had a kid who was a pathological liar, no matter what the topic was he was telling lies big and small. It got to the point where you couldnt tell what was true and what wasnt. But suddenly he changed senior year. I saw him in a math class. Something must have happened because he changed completely. Instead of lying he was charismatic and funny. It seemed to have cost him all of his old friends though. But I think it was a good change. He was really smart, the kind that dosent need to pay attention to pass classes, I hope he's doing something good now.
I was the weirdo in school. I am still as being normal sucks.
I was the weird kid at school, turns out it was autism. I now have a job, a home, and a kid who I adore. Might not seem like much but it's all I've ever wanted :3
ME TOO!!!!!!
Yknow, it's pretty sad that us "weird" kid, who are probably just undiagnosed neurodivergents, easily get bullied, picked on, and made fun of, even when we literally haven't done ANYTHING wrong. Oh, why are we always targeted for being who we are?
I can imagine a lot of these weird kids either kill themselves or end up being forever alone.
He's my best friend. He was the kind of guy who didnt really understand social cues and was attracted to any girl with a pulse. Hes a really sweet guy and cares about everyonehe meets. He is married with a son. His baby is unreasonably freaking precious.

he whistled when saying okay
I ended up eventually dating and marrying the weird kid from my high school. He was once known as âMetal Jesusâ from his hair. The military has since claimed his luxurious locksâŠ
We are happy and well off compared to our friends in spite of making much less than many of them.
I was the weird kid so i didn't have many friends and got bullied a lot. I embraced the insanity to drive away the worst bullies because they didn't want to go near the crazy kid
Once I thought some characters that are fictional existed grew out of and I have a mindscape now filled with fighting
Bro was struggling @8:00
Thereâs this one kid who trolled the whole high school years. Threw sugar packets at ppl saying it was crack đ
I befriended the weird kid, then dated her for a bitđ she was very nice once I gotten to know her
I am the weirdest kid, I pickle insects into little jars and other students have been warned to be near me
I was in a group of about 7 people, all of us deemed the weird kids. I mean barking, screaming in class, smelt bad, wore wolf ears and tails. I was the only guy of the group, doing none of that but they were the only ones who would accept me because I am gay. We are all 20 years old now and living perfectly normal lives. Half of us have healthy years long relationships, half are in college, most have normal jobs. Iâm not sure what people expect lol. Do you know what happened to the popular kids or the bullies? Selling drugs out of their basement now, pregnant, or dead :)
the video in the background of the bike falling over and over kept distracting me so much an i the only one ?? ahahaha
I was the weird kid and still am weird.
In eighth grade I wore patterned socks with shorts, sharpened my nails to a point cuz I thought I was a cat, and was OBSESSED with this obscure book series (which I later reread as an adult and was disappointed to learn that it kinda sucks đ ). I would spend all my free time writing a manga. I ended up becoming a professional webcomic creator with that very comic, and Iâm happily married with a brand new baby. I found my people and enjoy the most delightful neurodivergent friendships with my fellow comic enthusiasts! Iâm like, a more polished version of the weird kid I was in middle school.
Mind asking what's your webcomic
sounds like a pretty fun guy!
Me: cringes*
I wouldnât even call this girl weird.
This goth girl, who took every opportunity to scowl at people, was totally unaware that people werenât actually afraid of her. We were usually just WTF about her behavior.
Sheâs actually cute but sheâs a total weeb now. Last I heard, sheâs a TA.
In my teens I overheard a couple times people telling others that they're not scared of me, and that I think I'm scary but I'm not. That really puzzled me because I never tried to scare anyone, and I wouldn't even know how if I wanted to, besides sneaking up behind them and going BOO! Which I never did, but should have. Never even talked to or knew these people. I had social anxiety and did my best to avoid people except for a couple friends, so people scared ME. Now I assume they thought I was trying to scare them with my mostly black clothing. lol. "Oh my, black jeans, how creepy!"
@@CurbHopper111 this girl from my school basically thought she was Wednesday Addams⊠except everyone rolled their eyes at her instead of expressing fear or discomfort.
One day, in the middle of class, she mentioned how female mantises eat the male after mating just for nothing more than the sake of shock value. Someone finally had enough of her and told her to shut up with her edgy fun facts that they already know.
Dude is horrible at the forest level.
I was that wierd kid đ€Ł and boy did I take stick for it
Iâm fairly certain I was one of the weird kids. So far lifeâs been good. đ
Story 20 - you need to get a restraining order
I was the stereotypical weird kid, turned out I had autism all those years
I had the *weird kid* in my fourth period in 5th grade. I needed some mechanical pencil led and I asked him if he had some he said no so I asked him if he had a pencil I could use he said NO STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS very loud so then he took mechanical pencil and took the remaining led and ATE IT it was truly disgusting
Iâm the weird kid. At 33 I was diagnosed with autism and adhd.
I got laughed at and told id amount to nothing.
But I lost all my weight, finished my MA in HR and now work in HR for a record company. So i think I did ok.
I was the weird kid. One teacher would play American Psycho and say that was me when I grew up, the entire school found out I had hentai on my psp, and I sat at a table of what I would describe as potential school shooters and anime dweebs. I'm an undertaker now.
Iâm like popular in the unpopular people. ( basically queen of weird kids lol ) but all the weird kids in my grade are smart af and the popular people are well.. not the brightest! Basically generic private school butâŠ
Once in 6th grade everyone just.. started dating đ
Yes, eleven year olds.. dating. Luckily I never had to be apart of that đ
Iâm in high school now and am still uh a weird kid ;DD
( Iâm that one kid whoâs friends with everyone )
went to a party in 2012ish saw the kid under a foos ball table with a beer in hi hand saying hi to me, he lost a huge amount of weight and was bauldinding up top like you could wax his head, the party got crashed and as i was being hauled out by a few guys he was still under the table with a new mixed drink saying ill see you later bud.
I was the weird kid.đ the one nerd in a class full of jocks.

"WHAT THE HECK MARK"
I was a weird kid. I usually talk about some adult jokes and make some about my friends and make some p**n comics about them.
I hung out with the weird group in HS and middle school. I was one or two visually impaired kids in my school. Like when I say my vision is bad itâs bad bad( also if you give me shit for writing this magnificent are on phone and speech to text is a thing screen readers are a thing too so donât be ableist and assume). I was made fun of all the time. I used to go to a catholic private school and was heavily bullied for years. Like kids cut my hair and used to make me stand by a wall and kick a kick ball at my head. My vision loss is due to having cancer at 6. I know itâs weird seeing a person hunched over trying to Reed a book of having their phone close to their face but thatâs how I live. Anyways I had poor social skills growing up till senior year of HS and discovered I wasnât fully straight either so I was made fun of a lot.. I started being myself and well Iâm shy though sometimes painfully but teachers were always kind cause they knew I tried. This one kid was an ass. He called me a blind b and told me to go die all the time and weâll I saw him on instagram a bit ago 2 years after graduating and he had three kids and a fourth on the way with another baby mama. He posts a picture of him with the kid when itâs born and dips out on the childâs life. We are like 20 mind you. He messaged me to try and hit me up cause I later found out he thought I would be easy. I blocked him and will never speak to him again. I rather not deal with HS drama. I had a cancer scare and well now I want real people in my life no fake jerks. Plus I have a loving partner. A year as of April and Iâm happy Iâm at college too 2nd semester of the first year. Iâm doing much much better and well being the â weird â kid isnât always a bad thing just cause your disabled doesnât make anyone weird and our lives matter just as much as the next person. Life is short love and take in everything you can. Life could change in an instant so enjoy what time we have
Story #33 that is awsome
I was the weird kid. I had no friends in school as I was so invisible that I was not even cool enough to be picked on by the bullies. Now many decades later I still have few friends, I have more fingers on one hand than the number of friends I have.
If my parents where not well off and could bail me out every time I got into fanatical trouble I don't know where I would have ended up, probably in a early grave. They are long gone now and I keep my self out of fanatical trouble by living way below my means and being somewhat conservative in my investments. I could retire but I am to afraid to as I could get into fanatical trouble.
I had a life not worth living. Having autism really sucks!
