Sorry if I misspelled the title, anyway I wrote this because I was hoping to spark some memory of a bunch of old classmates of mine. Super weird, I know! But this was an actual thing. When I was little( like second grade) a couple of girls saw me scratch my nose during class and started acting grossed out and acted like I had a big or whatever. Then at recess, they convinced a whole bunch of people that I had the "Emily Touch". From then on until I moved, kids would run away from me(while I chased them because I was 8, and I thought it would be fun until I understood why), ask me to touch them so they could "spread" the "Emily Touch", and basically stayed away from me. Granted, it did help me focus better in school for some reason, and it didn't effect me completely, I mean some people still played with me. I was just the Anti-Base of tag! I followed me until 5th grade, then I moved away. It sparked in my new school, but it never caught on. Now I'm a senior in high school, but being bullied then effected me. People laugh at me when I try to be serious. I think a lot of people think I'm Special Ed when I'm not( that was not a bad remark to SpEd Kids, I'm just saying I do not like being assumed what I'm not!) by the way they treat me, talk to me, or even acknowledge me in the halls or outside of class. And that's not just my fellow peers! My Choir teacher hates me, my church group leaders think I'm SpEd, it just hurts. I still smile, but not as much. In all honesty, I'd rather know why people are laughing and still have the "Emily Touch", than have what I have now!
