Did you get teased as a kid for being a model railroader?

Well, I have myself. I've always been so obsessed with trains and also being that I live in a small town where everybody knows everybody else, it's been pretty much impossible to hide the fact that I'm into trains. I don't go out and advertise it, but I don't try to hide it at all. I actually am the type of person that isn't really too open about many things to my peers for fear of what they'd think. In the past I have been ridiculed by people from other grades, which is very upsetting (although this has actually let up quite a bit), but never from anyone in my own class. They all know me quite well and have enough respect for me (although I know for a fact that many must think I'm completely insane). I suppose they have made some jokes about it, but just in fun and never to be insulting. Some of my friends have seen my trains and can't help but be amazed and think my layout is pretty interesting. My French teacher who is new to the school this year has heard that I'm into trains and seems quite interested. She has mentioned that sometime she'll have the French class (which consists of only 7 other people besides myself, only one of which is a guy for all of grades 10, 11 and 12) come over to my place to see my trains one class! I live right next door to the school, so it wouldn't be out of anyone's way. I'm really looking forward to that! As others have said, someday I'll be out of school and what people said will be completely irrelevent.
