As a tall and skinny kid, growing up i was on the receiving end of a lot the same jokes. They made me feel inferior. And growing up without my dad around, I was never introduced to being active and working out like most of the other kids i grew up around. This also lead to me holding a lot of resentment and anger inside. But ultimately this taught me that I am the only one who can teach myself to be a "man" because no one else is going to do it for me. Looking back it was a bit of a blessing because I had to learn early that I am the only in control of my life and the direction i want to take it is solely my responsibity.
