Eccentrics
We all know someone who's a little bit strange - Mum's UFO abduction secret, or the mad Uncle who isn't allowed within 400 yards of Noel Edmonds.
Tell us about your family eccentrics, or just those you've met but don't think you're related to.

Encouraging words
You'd think that a psychology teacher would have at least a vague idea about the effect of words on a young person's mind.
Not sure, therefore, what my head of sixth form was going for with the following:
"You know Concrete, I suspect you'll be a bit of an eccentric when you're older."
Ok, probably true.
"But not now."
Oh?
"Now you're just weird."
.
.
.
And so I went off to do a Physics degree to prove her wrong.

Your psychology teacher was obviously a very perceptive woman
Though I don't know whether you're old enough to be eccentric just yet. Enjoy being "just weird" while you can.
