whats wrong with me Part#2

Despite the way I was treated by my teacher and students in school I still managed to make 3 close friends (Paul Paquette, Guy Laroque and Daniel Richer). The harassment stop when a new family came to our school (last name Crepe) .Even I as child did not find there facial appearance pleasing. From that time on all the negative attention from both teacher and student was directed to that family. I was aware that what they were doing was wrong but I was just glad they left me alone now. I was still a very happy kid through out elementary. I remember another incident that left me feeling ashamed. First a little back ground. I'm from a family of 3 boys and 5 sisters. I'm the middle boy and somewhere in the middle child too. My oldest brother was in reform school allot (I will talk about that later) and my other brother was a baby. My sisters were my playmates but girls play with girl toys like "Barby Dolls”. Until my uncle who was visiting pointed out that I was a "sissy" I didn't think there was anything wrong with me playing dolls with them. I was so ashamed that I never did after that .The shame was greater because this was an Uncle I idolized."Whets wrong with me “is a question that haunts me to this day.
