The main thing that was bad in my childhood, school photo--at seven years old--was my hair. I had "hat hair," and perhaps a bad haircut besides? My parents were very busy, at that time.... The photographer should've asked me to comb my hair.... [Did I normally comb my hair at school? I would hope so. I sure did after this photo!]
And oblivious of my hair, I had a big smile on my face! I was new to the school that year and my parents had gone out of their way--on more than one count--to send me there and to help make it a worthwhile experience.... It was a private, Christian school. My parents had helped me feel special for going there....
Later, I found out my parents had had other concerns about my education...and they weren't necessarily right...! They had failed to talk to me about their concerns before they decided to send me to the new school.... I could've explained some things to them about my own feelings and behaviour--and that I didn't actually have any problems at my former public school....
It was my parents who erred, in a sense.... Sometimes, "The good is the enemy of the best," and in this case the church school was good but not as good as a little family conference would've been.... Have been writing about this matter in the public and private parts of my blogs....
The above-mentioned photo looked a little "thwarted," maybe. I accept that. But it wasn't gay--not to say gays are thwarted....
[Sometimes the police have needed a specific response to a particular detail.... So, this is one here, if it wasn't clear before...? I don't think I'm going to have too much more to say for the special police project, in my blogs--not before things are settled...?]
