what was ''the incident'' at your highschool

[narcissusdidnothingwrong]

I once accompanied a group of elementary school children on a trip as a supervisor, when a bug was spotted in the bus and the children started screaming for it's slaughter.

I picked it up and told them we could not kill it, for his name was Hector - noble prince of Troy.

By the end of the bus ride, Hector had risen to rockstar popularity.

I think our DARE officer (later fired for *drumroll please* selling cocaine from the evidence locker) played Queen's I'm Going Slightly Mad to illustrate why we shouldn't do drugs and it's like, no, now I'm going to do all of them because that slapped, occifer.

I still very vividly remember the first time I was told I was 'fat'.

Keeping in mind, if I lost any more weight I would very rapidly fall into the 'dramatically unhealthy' scale. I'm not bone-thin or anything, but I don't have a lot to lose. And I'm also, y'know. Anemic. (Though frankly, if I wanted to lose more than another 10-ish pounds I'd need a fucking bonesaw. I have a pretty sturdy frame.)

It happened in high school, when I was eating lunch(y'know, cause I was hungry. So I ate like I was hungry.) and was told that eating that much would make me 'even fatter'. My crime in question was having TWO of the smaller-than-palm-size squares of brownie from the cafeteria. Alongside leftover vegtable dumplings, which I'd brought from home.

Now- I was homeschooled for most of my childhood. And I was californian, and very sheltered. So my reaction to this was not shame or offence. I wasn't raised in a culture where being fat was considered especially bad. Food was good, and as long as you're active enough to maintain basic health, there aren't very many problems with it.

The first instance of 'dieting' I was ever exposed to was Stacy McGill in the Baby-Sitters Club. The only others I saw were family friends who couldn't eat gluten, or dairy, or some other food type because of specific health problems or allergies. I did know one vegan, but she was also a really overzealous Christian who was kinda the 'weird lady' on my block. Who is also the reason I thought Christians were required to be vegan for the first eight years of my life.

My mom did 'diet' in front of me once, but it was an elimination diet because of IBS because she was trying to re-introduce a bunch of different kinds of foods into her diet so she could digest them properly. Dieting was something you did because of specific health problems, or weird religious requirements. Not to lose weight, unless you had a specific problem that required it.

So my response was to put the brownie down, look over at the girl who'd said it with a hell of a lotta concern, and just whisper 'Honey, are you okay?'

She was, needless to say, somewhat surprised by this reaction.

She asked what the hell I was talking about. I then said 'Sweetie, I'm not fat. I don't have much extra. And if you think I'm too fat, I'm terrified of the standard you're holding yourself to.'

She didn't seem to have much to say afterward, so I went back to eating my brownie. But I'm pretty sure I saw her crying afterward.

And this isn't even the same girl I accidentally convinced to stop shaving by just being genuinely confused why it was something people did.

So yeah, a homeschooled Californian teenager is an invasive species in a UK public secondary school.

I ended up getting pulled out of school eventually, because while I proved too autistic most for the social bullying, the violent bullying was still fairly effective.

But a YEAR after I left the school, I talked to somebody else who attended. I didn't know her name. I hadn't known she existed. But she knew MY name, and could describe shit I'd done in detail. According to a report card, apparently the fucking teachers were talking about me on their break. Even several of the teachers I'd thought fucking hated me, so that was something.

My friend drew the grabber in her chemistry notebook (back in October) Yesterday she went up to chemistry teacher to ask something. The teacher said that we were writing it down and STARTED FOLDING THROUGH THE NOTEBOOK. And she came across this drawing... My friend's eyes get huge, and the teacher says "everything is fine, everything is fine". I couldn't calm down the whole lesson I LAUGHED SO MUCH 💔💔💔

Teen guys disgust me 😒 (besides my friends on here ig 🙄 /silly)

Today in my math class two boys came over to me, and one of them asked me, "He said I looked like Diddy, but my other friend said I looked like Epstein, which do I look more like?"

And like he got mad when I gave him a judgemental look and refused to answer

Like that shit isnt funny!
