I think who you are in school really sticks with you. I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.'

You're imprinted in high school more than any other point in your life.

I wasn't hugely popular at school. In fact, I was bullied at school.

I think that you should definitely listen to what people say, because everyone says it: High school is not the real world.

I was perhaps the worst student you have ever seen. You know, I thought I was stupid, all my classmates thought I was stupid, so there was general agreement.

I'll continue to fight for school choice and home schooling. Do I believe in accountability? You bet I do.

Fitting in is unnecessary. Embrace who you are. You will go through rough times in high school, but always stay strong, and never deny yourself!

I had a tough time fitting in, as I guess most kids do. I felt like school was kind of a grand opportunity to figure yourself out and to figure out what you wanted.

You know you don't have to be the most popular kid in the school to have people acknowledge your presence.
