[quote=Anonymous]Small town "pretty" blond cheerleader, very good grades but hated being around other cheerleaders and jocks. I was overcompensating for poor self-esteem and poor social skills and got very burnt out. My home life was a constant wreck. Eventually found my group with the theatre kids. When I finally extricated myself from the popular scence I finally started to figure out who I was. It was an unpleasant many-year process. There just wasn't any room in that small town for people who thought differently or embraced any type of world view. By late in high school people thought I would never amount to anything because of the path I chose. Some of those same people (cheerleaders, popular folks and the rest) are already grandparents with very difficult, wild children of their own. They never left that horrible small town.  I am very happy, successful and fulfilled in my career and marriage. 
I guess my answer mirrors what several PPs have said: finding a group, however small or fringe, is the key to making it out in one piece.[/quote]
