Growing up in Bruce's shadow wasn't always easy for the younger Lee. As a child, Brandon was about to sign up with a local martial-arts studio, until he noticed a large poster of his father on the wall. Brandon ran from the dojo in tears. As a teenager, he was kicked out of two different high-schools (once after an "altercation" with the vice-principal) and dropped out of a third. After giving up on high school, Lee took some time to clear his head and spent 1982 hitchhiking around the United States before giving high school one last shot by writing and passing a high school equivalency test.
