Spent mostly at 422, paternal grandmother's place. J already knew he was different. Liked the attention he got from his uncles (men) and liked hanging out with his aunts (female). Although he had an interesting life as a child (lots of family drama, lots of interesting friends, lots of exciting events, and lots of intriguing scenarios) he also has his nightmares. Nightmares which included parents taunting him for being girlish, constantly being compared to his high-achieving cousins (one in particular that made J's life, sometimes a living hell), ceaseless remarks by the relatives of his attribute, and was the ugly duckling (no one so much as thought he possessed looks to kill and was in stark comparison with his brother, dark, ugly and wasteful). But J always cherished his childhood for the fun and the carefree days it presented.
Teenage Life
Hell slowly crept in. As if, J was not already insecure of his looks, puberty only worsened it. Started growing facial and body hair that he hated (because he never knew it has sex-appeal and the ability to make him good looking), sexuality became even more prevalent causing further distress, further comparison with other cousins and his brother and yet even more teased and taunted for being a sissy. Late teens, saw huge amounts of weight gain and face breaking out with acne. Experimentation with style and fashion were sometimes a hit and most often a faux pas: not a good addition to the already wretched being. Teens were very intense and emotional. All these worsened by lack of emotional maturity.
