    For the first 14 years or so, I wasn't, but starting at around 15, I became the reason my mother got most of her gray hairs.

    I was a pretty wild teenager. I won't go into details except to say I've spent the years since 21 being VERY good to my parents. They earned it. :^D

    I was a problem child in several ways.

    I was a fidget... I could not in any way or form, sit still... I am still that way today.... if I am awake.. some part of my body is doing something... ... ... this drove my parents nuts!

    I was super curious... I took everything I could get my hands on, apart, to see what made it work.. unfortunately - until I was about 10 years old, I wasn't able to reassemble the things I took apart. This also drove my parents nuts! Fortunately, buy the time I was 14, I was building my own working TV Sets by combining working components from broken ones and then selling them! So this one didn't make my parents quite so nuts.

    I was very passive confrontational independent... I would do as I pleased - no matter what my parents wishes were. I simply ignored their commands outright.. this also drove them nuts. AND to top that off - I was quite content to be alone... so grounding me simply made me happy! The good news was I was never a "Bad Boy"... I just simply did not bother to get permission to do anything!

    Everything worked out though... Today I am in a Leadership Position with an international corporation (Fulfilling my need to be Independent)... My job entails I be proficient at multitasking and working at a hurried pace - - enter my Fidget...

    I had a total disdain for the educational system and one size fits all methodology. I was one of the few kids that actually got kicked out of first grade for the whole year, and by the time I got to high school I was a lot more of a pain. I did love college as it offered real intellectual pursuit. Basic education is great for memory zombies. Let's remember dates and names and events NOT

    I had problems with school... especially High School... I was born with an uncanny abilty to read.. like 650wpm with 98% Comprehension... I would argue with the teachers all the time about what the book said, and what they were teaching... Such behavior didn't go over so well! And because I read so fast, I was usually done 1/2 way though in-class reading sessions.. so the teacher would be mad because he/she though I wasn't reading... then they would make themselves look stupid, because they would try to "Catch me", asking questions about what was just read, which was an exercise in futility.

    I was held back in the 7th grade because my English and Science teachers refused to "pass" me because I was always arguing with them. I spent most of my English Class in the hallway being punished! I had better teachers the following year and got "A"s in my classes.

    If you don't fit into the preset mold of their diagram of learning, you are the problem. I never met so many ill-equipped humans that should have been working in factories not trying to teach. I met one English teacher in Junior High who was fantastic, she knew how to get the best out of each student and did not use cookie cutter teaching methods

    Went to visit a high school friend's family reunion this weekend. Both his mom and his dad were laughing about how all four of their kids had a tale of getting drunk with me. Three of them it was their first time. Probably wouldn't have thought that much about it but the dad is a priest.

    There are probably some people out there who would "enjoy" being flayed within an inch of their life, too.

    My father was an Officer in the military, and he was (he still is) a Preacher & an Elder... what do you think? I wonder how many PK's (preacher's kids) are on SH?

    When my father was preaching one Sunday, me and my friend sneaked out of the church and went across the street to 7-Eleven to play video games. My friend talked me into stealing candy and junk food. Needless to say, WE GOT CAUGHT. When church was letting out, the Manager of 7-Eleven told my parents in front of the church members what we did. Now is that bad or what? :) lol

    Oh, there was a little girl in my science class when I was in fourth grade who I had a huge crush on. She called me names one day (black, black, frying pan), and I picked up my scissors, and cut one of her ponytails off.

    I was almost a straight A student, but in class conduct I got a D or F. They thought I had ADD, but I was just a BAD kid.

    Well, to make a long story short, I changed and ended up being a very, very good young man! Now, I'm an IT Engineer, a US Army veteran, highly decorated and respected... and a mentor for troubled youth (I guess I can relate). :)

    I am the reason my dad started balding early and my mum became an obsessive nagger.

    WAIT A MINUTE.

    I'm 30 and am thinning at the back rapidly and I am a c*nt to people that don't do what I expect them to.

    Well, it could just be genetics.
