At school, Angelina always had problems. Because of the abuse of parents and the feeling of uselessness to their father, the young Anzh suffered and suffered for many years. Teachers even attributed to her serious mental abnormalities (a tendency to sociopathy). In addition, the girl was unattractive externally - lanky and too thin, which also hurt her. At an older age Angelina often protested to the outside world - she did bold tattoos, appeared on her own wedding in the suit of the rocker, behaved defiantly and epocabulously.
