I understand this crazy, stupid idea that kids need to be starter and adults 'babying' them makes them dumb. while I had some good teachers, who the smarter kids hated because their teaching style was 'worthless' and 'nonproductive', I had lots of teachers who, even if I did do something right, they would make me feel dumb. in fifth grade, I got detention for not reading during our reading time, because I finished my book and was not allowed to get another. or I proved the librarian and 2 teachers wrong about Canada(IM CANADIAN) and got sent to the office. and the same year, I got sent to the school with chicken pox. because my dad couldn't keep me home for whatever reason. I was sent to elementary school with an easily spread disease. we sat inside until the bell rang because it was raining, and there was a circle around me because no one would come near. only one girl sat with me, cuz she wasn't stupid and had a heart. that little bit of kindness she had made one of the biggest impact on my life. later in life, through middle school and high school, teachers have lost my papers and blamed me for it, failed me because they didn't like how I did my project, punished me for proving someone wrong, and for not doing anything wrong- a lot of times because I was Canadian, and I spelled things differently or used different words(also my dad used British slang a bit around us) and I was not exactly like them or how they wanted me. so because of how I was raised, where I was born, and for having a damned brain, I was punished, suspended, and was not given many chances to prove myself and this all led me to stop caring as much in high school. I passed classes by a fraction of a percent, bitched at my teachers that actually tried to help, and now I've lost a lot of opportunities in life because I didn't want to deal with all the fuck tards in high school, therefore ended up looking like I'm not worth anyone's time. I have to add that if I had been using tumblr before, while still in school, it might have been different. Because being able to rant like this at any given moment, and no one telling you to shut it and people willing to take time to read and give you advice, help you as they can, would've helped with all the stress and anger that has built up over 12 years of my life. Thank you for reading and taking time to learn a bit more about my life ❤ share about your life, and let out the anger in your system. it helps, I promise.
