Bullying against me was sorta rare for the first few years of school, the first main school i went to was one of those special schools where all sorta of different kids went to...didn't see many talkers though, by the time i got into the 4/5th year, there was around 12 kids or so, not counting myself, there was only 2 of them could talk coherently, 2 couldn't talk or move generally at all and so needed a standing frame or something, and the others are ones that can move, but seemed detached and volatile.
One time i was on the floor of the playground and i was holding my head because i had a severe headache, another kid from another class punched me in the back a few times and stole my glasses quickly, so i pretty much tripped him over with my shoe, and prompted myself to simply to leap at him, punching, kicking and headbutting madly, sorta like the octopus and the bongos.
Wasn't until near the end of class 4 the head teacher asked me if i wanted to check out the neighboring normal school nearby, i said yes because the bit of the days i go there happened to be on swimming days*, a year later i moved schools and went to another primary school, where i was a Year 5....think i went to the special school less and less, maybe it was to do one of those easing myself away things, but meh.
Primary school was great, i didn't feel detached or alone, i could bring in things like a handheld or whatever as long as i hid it from class and played it off on the side of the playground, lunchtimes could be chosen from a variety of things, expanding my palate, books were actually books and not some book about a fish who didn't share his scales.....does anyone remember reading Kensuke's Kingdom and Holes?
Even though i only had like 2 friends in that secondary school, they were more better than the friends i had at the other one, there it just seems like i considered them as a friend, but they see a playmate or simply another kid in the class or something. (though the Primary school's class had quite alot of other children, mainly i had 2 best friends, and a small circle of other kids)
Secondary school was different though, think all my friends went to different schools and i had to get new ones, for the first few months of year 7 or so, i was pretty much bullied rarely, the first one being some girl constantly calling me names and such, later in the day, some kids kept poking me in the back constantly in Art class whilst some teacher was talking.
Eventually i made friends with a kid in a wheelchair, he was quite nice, he liked computer games and stuff, and we sat in the library everyday at break time, on the PCs, there was only the odd kid or so that caused me bother, then again a TA was with me for a lot of the time so who knows, maybe they didn't do much because she was there.
a few years ago, i got into College and my friend went to a different college than mine, but College was much more laid back, bullying was non-existent, think the only bullying i saw in the classroom was some girl using the word "gay" in an offensive context with a homosexual kid in the class....ignoring the fact that the girl was a Lesbian, guess the teacher tried to teach everyone an example by making the entire class stay in during late break time.....everyone hated her for the rest of that day, because everyone wanted to play Pokemon Platinum.
College is simply awesome, you get 2 breaks a day, one after the first lesson to eat something for a snack, then 2 classes later, it's lunchtime, fortunately, my college was close to downtown, so i wandered about and bought stuff and walked around, after 2 lessons, you get 1 short break, then 1 final lesson of the day.
Note, did the
because of the large amount of Pokemon players, not the fact that everyone hated her.
....like i guess that although i went to regular educational places, it was more better than what i could've got, sure everything was more bleak and real, but i felt a lot of emotions, ate quite alot of things, visited loads of places and felt challenged....still dropped out of college mostly because of the teacher's fault.
How i wish i told a girl in my college class that i loved her :/
