When i was in high school i was ostracized enough as one of very few persons of color in a predominently white school. and when you add in that i was a lower middle class scholarship student surrounded by spoiled brat rich kids, you can see the situation would have been perfect for me to start my kilt wearing then - NOT!!! I got harassed to no end there - well at least until they realised i had a smarter mouth than most & coudl give them a dressing down like no other (a talent that continues to this day but i do reign it in a bit), but was still an outsider.

Now that i am older, wiser (& in much better physical shape than many) and have the confidence to not care about what others think, do i dare to don the kilt.

I say kudos to all who are brave enough to start an adventure like this in thier more formative years and I give a big thumbs up to those who support them in those decisions.
