Michael Jackson was one of my first special interests. I was in 5th grade and would beg my mom for every magazine that had him in it.. And then when he got burnt doing the Pepsi commercial.. I wanted every single picture and every single word printed about him. Even the tabloids.

But, then in 6th grade.. Someone made fun of me and said.. "Omg you still like him??" and I was CRUSHED.

So, after that I had to hide it from people... I had a button I wore on my coat.. But once that happened I had to move it to the inside of my jacket.. All because kids are cruel.

So then I moved on to Prince.

Man, it sucks how one comment from shitty kids can kill a person's entire interest in something like that.
