Ana Part 1

I'm Ana, I am 14 years old I have 2 sisters and 2 brothers. The problem I face today is the world and its people. I am overweight, I'm in home school. Home school helps heal the pain of the problems I faced from school. Started when I turned 9 I always felt bad about myself because I never really felt like a kid. I looked like I was 12 when I was 9. I always looked older than my age. I hate the question. "How old are you?" Soon as I answer the questioner looks shocked, and surprised. Why can't they accept the answer. I don't know. Maybe its me.
In 3rd grade that's when I realized I was different from everyone else because of how tall I was. I was not really fat at that time. But many people believed I was 12 or 13. It frustrates me sometimes, but I get over it. At that moment of life I loved being me, I still do its just hard being me since I know more. 3rd grade was a cool year I had a cool teacher and cool friends. I was kinda shy around most people I don't know why. One of the worst things that happened to me in 3rd grade was one on my best friends didn't invite me to her birthday party. I hung around her a lot and this other girl. We were like the 3 stooges. She passed out the invitations around the class. I waited and waited knowing she was going to give me one but she didn't. I always wanted to know why she didn't invite me, but now since I am older I think I realize why. I was a different race than she was and the other girl. The worst part about it was that girls she barely knew she invited. I felt bad but I got over it. Maybe it was not because of my race, maybe it was because I was bigger than the other students and she felt ashamed to be my friend. I wish I really knew the answer.
