Looking back, my illness, I just didn't realize thats what it was. I had lots of depression and brain fog and I was always exhausted. I also just hated doing work and my body does not function well on a 24 hour schedule. While some of my dislike for doing work is assuredly being lazy and depressed and cause most people don't like work, it seems obvious now that it was more than that. My head would just go blank after working for more than like 10 minutes.
Also my parents divorced and I switched schools like 4 times before dropping out. I was really stressed about the future cause I know you have to work but I couldn't see a life where I had to work that was worth living. Part of that was definitely just unrealistic expectations of what life is. I was raised with the fairly standard do well in school, get into a good college, get a high paying career and start a family mindset so when that seemed like it wouldn't work for me, it just seemed like I was doomed. Course now I realize theres a ton of ways to be happy and enjoy life and plenty of them don't require that path through life.
In school the difficulty also finally started to catch up to me. I'd always been considered extremely gifted academically when I was younger so naturally I never studied and rarely did homework. Around the start of highschool though it started to catch up and not studying in some of the advanced classes I was in was for the first time leaving me confused. After so many years of habit it was hard to switch up my perspective and it kind of felt like I was a bit of a fraud and not actually very smart at all when realistically I was still quite smart, I just needed to put in a little bit of effort here and there.
Oh, man... Sounds like a lot of stuff was going on... I also grew up hearing the same standard of school -> college -> good job -> good family -> good life. But it didn't really go like that, anyway...

It was fairly difficult for me. Not really because of the physical changes, but because I was insanely shy and it was really embarrassing.
My brother kept teasing me over the changes, and my dad got a whole new sSo, itet of ammo to use to shame me. Of course my classmates teased me over that stuff too. It totally sucked, but honestly I think it was mostly just me being way too sensitive.
Physically, it was fine, just a bit embarrassing. It was the change in atmosphere around me that bothered me. I don't think I ever felt more like an outcast than at that time.
So, it was a social thing, but not just school... But I do understand...

Nope. I didn't notice any difference in my behaviour or attitude.
Same. I actually didn't notice a change...

Was this whole topic just for the bad joke in the opening post?
Personally I dont even remember puberty. I remember things that happened in my life when I was going through puberty. However I dont remember anything pertaining to puberty itself.
so either it was not difficult and ergo unmemorable. Or it was so difficult my brain is coping by blocking out the memories. it really could be either one \_()_/
No. The bad joke in the opening was so I would have to worry about the bad joke later in the topic. So, I just got it out of the way early... I mentioned that on the first page... But I don't really remember puberty affecting me, either. I don't think it's blocking anything out since I remember most of everything that happened (except for one party I went to)... ---
