Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

The type of people who failed you back then, they failed me too. I'm talking about now, finding someone you can try to trust and talk to. You don't really have to worry about getting electro shock therapy now a days. You might find that your early, traumatic experiences with school and the system have given you scars you aren't entirely dealing with, and are being made worse by your current experiences.
If might even be easier to navigate how archaic and un-intuitive the system is once you've had more of a chance to deal with them.
You definitely aren't alone having had a bad experience with school, I'm sorry you are continuing to have problems when all you seem to want to do is learn.
