My middle school years were horrible. Lots of pressure to follow the fads, especially clothing. High school went much better for me.

He has made several age-related statements that are not easily reconciled. But even using the one that results in the youngest age would make him about age 7 at the end of the war, likely able to remember quite a bit from that time period.

thanks for your note. i had a sense Max was aging faster than the rest of us. but didn’t want to bother investigating.
still. even at my tender age, i find my mind playing tricks on me. i try to be conscious of it.

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"

I was thinking particularly about Teasing, Trauma, Dealing-With-Rejection but it is fine to talk about other traumas.
I took 'trauma' in a very general sense, but just wondered. (fixed it, so people know what I was asking)
