Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

Things we do to fit inI weighed about 240 pounds when I was 16 or so. I lost about 60 pounds in the next year, came back to school in skinny pants, and none of my classmates recognized me. Wow! So I grew my hair, big sideboards, and went to work in a "hippy" clothing store.
Trouble is, no hippies would be caught dead in "hippy" clothing. They just wore grubby jeans, T-shirts and bandanas.
I, on the other hand, wore the stuff that we sold, including flowered shirts, vertically-striped bell-bottom pants, and fringed leather vests. A fellow student that I once hung out with called me a "fucking transvestite." He had to say this at the top of his lungs in the corridor of our school.
Needless to say, I ditched all of this "hippy" shit, and retrenched to grubby jeans, T-shirts and bandanas, as the creator intended.
