I am Andy Calson. I am a tallish, maybe six foot five, black-haired, Asian kid with a small stubble appearing on my face. My mom is Chinese while my dad is from America, and we live in Ohio. I miss my parents...I have parents, but they never have time for me. My dad goes on little "vacations", while my mom goes on buissnes trips. All my grandparents are dead, so I can't go to them. Something about me tends to drive most people away. Is it the way I look? How I talk? Oh, speaking of that, I forgot to say that I have a lisp. I have a Lateral Lisp, or a "slushy lisp", where my mouth makes a high-pitch spitting noise when I say 's' and 'z' words. Kids make fun of me all the time...and it's insulting, and upsetting. When I tear up about it, people tell me to grow up just because I'm in high school. Don't they realize teens have souls these days? It's not the ninety's anymore! Adults don't understand what it's like to be an outcast anymore...what it's like to have social order. They just don't remember.
