Being an outsider means not being heard, not having a voice. It means being treated as a second-class citizen, being diminished in the eyes of others. We have all felt this way at one time or another, but some feel it more consistently. Unfortunately, our schools often do not embrace the talents of many of their occupants.

I think people realize I'm truly an outsider.

I know what it feels like to be an outsider.

You go through your life feeling like an outsider, and you respond to society in a different way when you feel like an outsider.

I can't go back and label myself as an outcast because I was a pretty well-adjusted kid, but I can certainly relate to the feeling of being an outsider.

As a teenager at high school, I felt like an outsider.

At some point in our lives there's something about every one of us that makes us feel like an outsider, I believe.
