That sounds hard all around. Did you have friends? I would think home schooling would be isolating but well, sometimes even going to school can be isolating depending on what else is going on at home. Taking over for teachers is not a great way to make friends, but sitting there listening to them say the wrong thing. Arrogance doesn't really allow for that, and I was very arrogant in my own youth.
No teenager friends, and that name doesn't sound familiar. He's still green. There are other colors he turns in your universe?! From my research that doesn't seem likely but then again, anything is possible.
