I think, when I was younger I had to leave because I was punched by the boys because my uncle was gay. No one used to talk to me. I would ask the teacher if she could stay with me waiting for the bus because otherwise I would be punched by the boys. She would say, 'Why did not you leave early, walking?' I think it's already changed a lot, because it's more natural for me to talk. I remember I came home crying, until one day he had to go with me on the bus from here and from Lapa too.
