12
120600
7320
02:10
it happened when I was studying at the schoolĀ Ā 
13
130140
2940
02:13
I was about your age I didn't have manyĀ  friends either just one friend my best friendĀ Ā 
14
133860
7920
02:22
it was very funny and we usually spend timeĀ  at the schoolyard at break time of course
15
142560
6300
02:31
I was not a shy kid I mean I was not a naughtyĀ  boy of course but I wasn't shy either but I wasĀ Ā 
16
151440
11160
02:42
very thin thinner than you in fact seriouslyĀ  as I told you before I didn't have many friends
17
162600
8520
02:53
also there was a group of students I can't sayĀ  they were my friends now I know that I mean IĀ Ā 
18
173160
8640
03:01
thought they were my friends because we spendĀ  time together from time to time but I was wrong
19
181800
9180
03:14
oh first I have to tell youĀ  something very importantĀ Ā 
20
194460
3780
03:18
when I was your age I had long hairĀ  yeah my mom was a member of a religionĀ Ā 
21
198900
6960
03:26
where they were forced to have longĀ  hair and that applied to me too
22
206400
5940
03:35
and for that reason many of my classmatesĀ  used to make fun of me all the timeĀ Ā 
23
215700
5820
03:42
also because I was very skinny and a littleĀ  shy I had a classmate his name was SmithĀ Ā 
24
222240
7860
03:50
he used to tell me that I was not a boy butĀ  a girl you know because of my long hair alsoĀ Ā 
25
230940
8940
03:59
because of that I used to wear a cap to cover myĀ  long hair I was the only boy with a very long hairĀ Ā 
26
239880
7920
04:08
sometimes it could be longer thanĀ  women's hair that's why I had to cover it
27
248460
6300
04:17
once while everyone was getting ready to startĀ  classes they took my cap off I felt very ashamedĀ Ā 
28
257580
8940
04:26
everyone was looking at me at the same time alsoĀ  some of them were laughing at me I felt terrible
29
266520
9360
04:38
this kid is myth he usedĀ  to tell me terrible thingsĀ Ā 
30
278520
4320
04:43
he said I looked like a girl that I wasĀ  not a boy he laughed at me all the timeĀ Ā 
31
283380
6600
04:50
sometimes I wanted to do something IĀ  don't know like on Chimp on the face
32
290760
6240
04:59
but I was a coward I couldn't do that whenĀ  they started laughing at me I just try toĀ Ā 
33
299940
6960
05:06
laugh with them pretending thatĀ  nothing had happened but insideĀ Ā 
34
306900
5100
05:12
I felt terrible sometimes I arrivedĀ  home very sad and started crying
35
312900
5760
05:21
and because I was very skinny I wasn'tĀ  able to defend myself once I try to do thatĀ Ā 
36
321180
7860
05:29
when Smith told me I was not a boy and startedĀ  laughing at me I pushed him and he fell downĀ Ā 
37
329580
7260
05:37
he was very angry really angry he stoodĀ  up and punched me on the face I didn'tĀ Ā 
38
337500
7860
05:45
know what to do I was so scaredĀ  so I never did that again neverĀ Ā 
39
345360
5700
05:51
so he continued fooling me and he was not the onlyĀ  one the rest of my friends did the same sometimes
40
351840
7860
06:02
