You're describing me with a [i]lot[/i] of what you just said there... Essentially, I'm what you just spoke about; however - unlike a lot of people in this era - in my days if you were born with a different 'wavelength' to other people you were [i]not[/i] given a fair chance.

Not only did the schools I went to make no attempt to adapt to the way my thinking was beyond my peers, but counsellors ended up sticking me on medications that [i]legitimately[/i] fucked up my mind in a way that could easily be considered brainwashing. I basically won't have a real life or future due to it, and that's not taking all of my physical health problems into account -- I don't know how long I have to live, to be honest with you.
