Kindergarten 5 years old. I got into a fight that day and the school called my parents. My father stood up for me and told them it was unacceptable, different times tho. It was acceptable back then to do that sort of thing and stand up for yourself. I'll never forget on that day it was the first time I ever realized I was different than everyone else! It changed the way I seen myself and my stutter from then on.
