The Old and The Young

I have come to find that the life I live is unlike any one I know.  The various trials and tribulations I have been through have shaped me in such a way that I do not easily relate to others my age.  Even more so, at this school I find it very difficult to meet anyone even remotely my age period, they are almost all 10 years younger than I and do not understand certain fundamentals of the "real world" that are signs of maturity.  I only hope that this coming school year brings greater understanding of diversity.
