answer to dailyprompt-2010
that’s what I was called often, the short weird one. They kept repeating the word ‘kort’ so one day when we had a lessons where we could talk about important topics I spoke about how it was bothering me a lot. It was a part of my Asperger syndrome that I sometimes could not understand why they bullied me so much, I got diagnosed not before age 17 years so in 4th grade I didn’t get the right help in school to deal with mean girls and the male bully named Kim. I mostly disliked school because of the bullies and I couldn’t concentrate on my school work, very lucky I was sharp and intelligent by nature because that really helped me learn despite this quite difficult time.
so my nickname was related to my short height; I’m of Arctic origins unlike my classmates who were unusually tall Nordic kids with strong xenophobic tendency from local town culture.
thanks for listening to my story and have a good day everyone ❤
