mollybaby: University is much better than school.

You are studying subjects you like plus are being treated as an adult.

Altogether a better experience.


Totally.
But try convincing a 16 year old stuck in that godforsaken system.

Och so far so good and down to last one.

If they are not ready to go straight after school, let them go out in the world for a few years, they may be ready then. When the memories of school have faded.

Claire3555: Were you a bully? Nerd?

Who did you hate/envy/like?


I was neither a bully nor a nerd. I was quiet,shy, yet friendly. I blushed very easily. I was studious and applied myself well but I did get into trouble a few times, only in primary school though.
I remember once hiding in the girls cloakroom when morning break was up. I hid among the coats and the teacher called in one of my older sisters to help look for me. It was ages (or at least it felt like ages) until they found me. To this day I can't explain why I did it. I got in an awful lot of trouble with the teacher and then some more when I got home. Oh the shame of it! Then another time I had a bit of a falling out with another girl in my class and I told her her surname was stupid. She went and told the teacher - a nun - who made me stand up in front of the whole class while she encouraged them to join in reciting that my surname was stupid. laugh I'm still scarred grin Other than those two episodes I was a model student. angel

Well it was a bit harsh. I couldn't imagine treating someone else like that, let alone a child.

Not so much naughty, just didn't put up with any crap from the so called authority figures at school. Even after being strapped and getting segregated from everyone else, I refused to yield. I'm a bit stubborn when it comes to defending my rights as a human being. grin
