This book is dedicated to my husband, Matt, without whom I would be lost.
And to our children. This book exists for one reason: because I love you.
MY STORY (AGE THIRTEEN, 1986)
I vividly remember being thirteen years old and the new girl in eighth grade. It was 1986 in Princeton, New Jersey. I was an only child and I had just transferred back to public school after several years as a student in a fancy private school. My mother had remarried the year before, and the additional income my new stepfather brought to the table put us somewhere between losing my need-based scholarship and being able to afford the full tuition. I spent most of my time alone. I didnt really belong with my more affluent peers but seemed to have little in common with the kids in my neighborhood, many of whom I didnt even know.
That meant a fresh start for eighth grade in a public school near my dad and stepmothers house. While that prospect was scary, I was ready for it. Switching schools was going to open doors and allow me to reinvent myself. I was awkward and wore the wrong clothes. I was (or had been) the scholarship kid, and everyone knew it. And if that wasnt enough, I was a blurter.
I may have been an ADHD kid, but back then teachers just told my mother that I was a daydreamer who couldnt seem to work to her potential. I was easily distracted and would allow myself to wander into dreamy wormholes during class or at the lunch table, achieving Walter Mittylike trances, where I would become almost completely unaware of my surroundings. And then I would blurt out something that reflected the reality in my head.
I think we can all agree that is not a prescription for being cool in middle school.
I did not let my social awkwardness stop me, however. I had a picture of who I wanted to be at my new school, someone cool. Someonedare I say it?popular. Most of this mental picture was formed by the seventies-era sitcoms I watched over and over again after school. I could be cool, right? It was possible.
Well, no, the actual cool kids let me know that wasnt going to happen after about a week. The good news was, I met a friend who helped break that fall. She was the other new girl, and she was nice enough to overlook the fact that I was kind of a mess. Things were awkward for me at home, with a new stepfather at one house and my stepmother newly pregnant at the other. Things were equally awkward at school because I had no idea how to get out of my own head and just be a person. Eventually I made a couple of nice friends, and it seemed as if I might survive the year and make it to high school.
