9: This year was hard, but not my worst year.
My "grandparents" one time "restrained" me when I was allegedly having a crisis. But the way they "restrained" me was far from legal.
(Keep in mind I was around maybe 50 pounds at the time, meaning I was at the thinner end of the normal kid that age. They were both over 130 pounds)
The way they restrained me without going into tok much detail:
One was sitting on my lower legs in order for me to not move them, and the other sat on my chest while holding my arms down. This "restraint" lasted at least a half hour.
My organs were being crushed.

I made my first friends that year. (Unfortunately none of them I have contact with anymore, for varying reasons.
I'll get into that later.)
My best friend was this guy I met around my first day of school. Keep in mind, I was a brand new syudent at the school and didn't know anyone. His name was Brian.
He came into class late for whatever reason, and we were doing projects in groups. The teacher asked if anyone wanted to have him and his group, and no other group offered for a few seconds. I felt bad, so I said he could join mine. The teacher said yes, and so he did. He introduced himself, I introduced myself, and we discussed our interests while doing our work. We would talk every day on the bus about varying things. Books, games, etc.
