I was never teased as a kid because of my fascination with trains. Most of my friends had a hobby--trains, model car building, art. It was also helpful to have adults at that time in life who encouraged you to pursue something constructive. My grandfather and mother were two of my biggest supporters, as were teacher's at school (I seemed to always have a picture of a train stashed between the pages of my text books and teachers couldn't help but notice!). Yet another reason for us as adults to encourage today's kids to pursue their passions. I think too often we don't express an interest in what they're doing, which can leave them with the sense that no one cares. Unchecked, this can lead to negative activity. ENCOURAGE OUR YOUTH![^]
