I was really good at, which would come in handy later on.

And I was also good with English, language arts, that kind of stuff.

But if you put like science in front of me or physics or anything like that, like I would just be, you know, turn into the class clown and just ignore work.

Because of the bullying, eventually I started, you know, fighting back quite literally.

I got into a lot of fights when I was in elementary school, junior high, even going into high school.

But the big...

The big change for me is when I got into junior high, I started hanging around with, you could say, the bad kids.

At that time, the bad kids weren't that bad, but they're smoking weed, they're skipping school, they're getting in trouble in class all the time.

I started hanging out with these guys because I had spent so much time on my own.

I had friends, but I was bullied a lot, like I said, and now I'm hanging out with guys that don't get bullied, if anything happens.

Some of them do the bullying.

You know, I didn't partake in that, but I was friends with these guys because they accepted me.

They didn't care that other people didn't like me.

And they basically took me under their wing.

And through that, I start to get introduced to crime.

And obviously at that age, it's nothing really serious.

we're stealing janitor's keys and breaking into schools at night.

I think the biggest thing that we did when I was in my teenage years was probably, and I'm talking 13, 14 years old.

We broke into a school one night and they were doing fundraising for, I don't know, it was like Girl Scouts or whatever it was.

And we stole an envelope and it had a lot of money in it.
