This picture was taken going into the 5th grade. I was in dire need of orthodontics and we could not afford it at the time. My brother though it would be funny to nick name me “Uncle Buck.” This was long before the movie ever came out. In a small town, word of my nickname […]
As a teenager in high school we deal with the constant battle of fitting in. We’ve all seen it in movies and shows how the pretty popular girls have it made. There’s a certain image we have to portray to be liked. Well that was very hard for me. I was the shy quiet girl […]

Growing up I was extremely quiet and very shy. I had a few friends but we were all considered “nerds”. I was made fun of all through elementary school. Called “ugly”, had my head slammed against a wall by a boy I thought was a friend, had my hair cut by girls and even had […]
My name is Stacie, from Ikes Fork West Virginia. This is a yearbook picture of me when I was about 8 years old. The biggest thing about me was my hair. I was picked on because of my size, I was actually very tiny in grade school. Yeah, hard to see with that mane, and […]
