I was a weird kid. I didn't fit in. I was too smart for some kids, too weird for others. I was a loner. I spent most of my time reading books and playing by myself. I didn't have many friends, and the ones I did have were just as weird as me.

I grew up in a small town in the 1950s. My family was poor, and we lived in a rundown house on the wrong side of the tracks. My father was a drunk, and my mother worked two jobs to support us. I was the oldest of three children, and I had to help out around the house a lot.

I didn't have a happy childhood. I was bullied at school, and I was often lonely and depressed. But I also had some good times. I loved to read, and I spent hours lost in the worlds of my favorite books. I also loved to play outside, and I would spend hours exploring the woods behind my house.

As I got older, I started to embrace my weirdness. I realized that I didn't have to fit in to be happy. I was different, and that was okay. I started to make friends with other weird kids, and we formed our own little community. We were the outcasts, but we were also the ones who were most true to ourselves.

I'm an adult now, and I still consider myself to be a weird kid. I'm not always comfortable with it, but I'm also proud of who I am. I've learned that it's okay to be different, and that it's important to be true to yourself. I'm grateful for the experiences I had growing up weird, because they made me the person I am today.

Growing Up Weird is a memoir about my childhood. It's a story about growing up different, about being an outsider, and about finding your own way in the world. It's a story about the challenges and rewards of being weird, and it's a reminder that we are all unique and special in our own way.
