Even as a child , I'd rarely 1 . . While other kids enjoyed playing in groups , I stayed in class reading books or drawing . As a teenager , I'd rarely 2 . because I was considered as boring and weird . I'd also be bullied but I was way too shy to 3 . and defend myself .

She never quite 5 . because she worked part time , very hard , to save up for a trip abroad while most teens wanted to have a car and a driver's license and go to parties .

He'd always 6 . and , eventually , they stopped inviting him too . Nowadays , as adults , we are still very close friends , and still never 7 . in most things .
