In the 80's ABT would offer candy to kids after church. They continued pushing for kids to bring anyone they could friends/family etc. A friend's parents convinced my mother to attend. ABT convinced my mother to force me to attend. While there I was subjected to brain washing attempts as well as alienation and bullying. I was disliked for being a free thinker and punished frequently for having a unique opinion. For 3 years I stuck to my principals and endured that church eventually hitting my breaking point and lashing out.

I was enrolled at ACS for 1.5 years. I was forced into an education system that frowned on exceptional students. I took pre-algebra and excelled at math in 6th grade. ACS refused to advance me even though they offered higher math courses. According to them, my age was a prerequisite. 

I was ultimately expelled for arguing with a teacher that was attempting to humiliate me in front to the class. It was a regular thing with that teacher, I had eventually had enough.
