Tom, age 6

Cheshire, CT (1983)

This pic was shot at a summer camp.

I was teased a great deal growing up, and middle school was particularly hard for me.

There were several points throughout my adolescence, where I considered giving up life all together.

I'm very glad that I didn't.

I'm now 33 years old, a doctor, and overall very happy with my life.

I have friends and family who support who I am, and all that I do.
