Homeschooled until high school, heh. Wasn't the greatest situation at home, though - ended up being responsible for eventually getting my family split up by social services. Hilariously, you are apparently considered a fit parent if it isn't sexual/physical abuse - they got to keep 3 of our youngest siblings

- and were only monitored via weekly visits for about 6 months.
I don't want to know how they turn out

There is something profoundly damaging in watching your twin brother be ostracized and forced into the role of family scapegoat and being unable to do anything about it. Considering he was very, very, similar to me and was in that position for virtually no reason, I lived life on a razor's edge. One mistake = life at home ruined. Ruined = being locked in a closet 23/7 (with a bucket to piss/$#%^ in) when not at school/eating. I swear, minimum security prison is probably a more pleasant experience.
As for bullying, I don't play fair

I only got into one physical confrontation (a sudden surge of adrenaline/seeing red freaked me out quite a bit) but he kept trying to pick on me so I eventually got him expelled.
Causality. There is no escape from it, we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the why. Why is what separates us from them.
