1. I stole sweets
I can't remember how old I was (whether it was before I started high school or after), but I stole chocolate I was getting when I was younger. It's not even a fun story of pier pressure, it's a story stupidity. I went to the tills with a friend to buy other items and put chocolate and something under my arm to keep it all together. Then when I came out, I had forgot what I'd done. In my naivety, I thought I'd get into big trouble for admitting to stealing so ate it. In fairness, this was in the newsagent, where this horrible woman with teeth like a guest from Jeremy Kyle often served me. She always short-changed me. Therefore I probably just got back my money a bit...Just saying!
2. I still can't ride a bike
I have a learning disability called dyspraxia, which doesn't often affect me now that I'm out of school. However it affects my coordination, and means it takes you longer to do particular things like learning to ride a bike. My family tried a few times with multiple bikes, but it didn't click. We even tried again when I was 11, but I hated it and felt embarrassed infront of other kids. Let me know if you might want to know more about the condition in a further blog post.
3. I convinced someone I had a twin
When I started high school, I kept meeting this one girl at breaks and we'd get on really well. Then I'd say something silly, and I started to blame it on my twin. I think I called her Shannon. This girl didn't believe for long, but it was a fun premise to blame your behaviour on someone else.
