I think you all should assert a better interpretation of this song. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but the song clearly is an autobiography, but it's MUCH more than that. It's about not being accepted as a kid by your peers, feeling like society gives you nothing for what you do in the world, and about being an individual and just wanting to get through adolescence without being at your wit's end. Greg's outlet for this was quite obviously punk rock.
