Schools that do that sort of thing are the fucking worst.
I'll go ahead and admit that I got bullied a lot at my first high school, for being a combination of gullable/fat/dorky as well as, for most of my time there, the only person of my skin color.
My last day 'in' the school, I had my head slammed against a locker multiple times by a Starter of the Women's basketball team, and was later threatened with being shot by the Football QB.
For retorting that "They'd pull the bullets out of you" to said QB (Mind you, I had all but recieved a concussion 2 hours prior) My family was first told that I was given an 'at home' suspension till the end of the semester. They told my parents that I could come back in-school next semester.
However, it was not until the *end* of that first semester that they finally said 'actually, you'd have to stay home the rest of the year'.
By that time, almost every school in the district was 2-4 weeks into their classes. There was no way I could get in.
The second half of my Junior Year of High school, I instead had to take night classes with people who were either trying to get their GED, or were simply there because of some form of court order to get their GED (i.e. they weren't trying.)
The ultimate irony of all of this, that first high school, I was a 'D+' student practically. The school I went to for my senior year, I actually wound up getting a B average for that year.
Yeah. Some schools institutionally set people up for failure. In my case, it was because there was a HUGE scandal that erupted a year or two after I left; many of those Student athletes were having their tuition paid by third parties, more or less so that they could play for that school.
- tester756 5y agoit's terrifying
- bena 5y agoYou mention tuition, was it a private school?
- dylan604 5y agoHow is this relevant? If it's a private school or public school, parents/schools are trying to juke the system to get the Ws on the scoreboards. If it's a private school or public, bullying is a thing. Someone being abused and then they are the ones to get the punishment when defending themselves by striking back is a complete bassackwards way of handling any problem like this.
- simtel20 5y agoIt's possible that people who haven't spent time in private schools have the romantic notion that they're privileged havens where everything is easy.
- to11mtm 5y agoIt's also possible they were fishing for a connection to 'cover-up' corruption in a Religious institution. In which case they'd be right.
- to11mtm 5y agoYeah. A Religious Private School.
- ikerdanzel 5y agoIn the east, students kept the grudge. Grown-up and then hire assassins and have the targets and targets immediate family members assassinated decades later. For example, when jogging or car just drive out from the driveway and randomly get pop or sliced. If the grudge survived that long the ends are as gruesome as the movies.
- ganzuul 5y agoWhy not name them?
- to11mtm 5y agoBecause the school has been gone for somewhere around 15 years, and the administrators involved are all retired or passed away. Sometimes, you have to let go of anger over a situation... but still remember it as a compass of empathy.
- ganzuul 5y agoI don't have the solution. When do forgive and when do we take action so no one else is hurt like we were? Both are emphatic and compassionate but the latter makes one feel as an aggressor instead of a defender like one truly is. It's confusing.
