Middle School sucks ass for everyone who’s not a rich kid.
MiddleSchool sucks ass for everyone who’s not a rich kid.Nah, in my school, it was the rich kids who got beat up. School just sucks for everyone.

This happened in my art class once. Our kooky art teacher invited an ex-student in without any prior warning and we were supposed to ask him questions on his art (he did book covers).
Silence, no one was having this shit. Out of pity I asked him questions on some tiny details I noticed on the spot. More silence, I ask about different tiny details. And so forth.
I’ve realised that there’s a large portion of the populace that are perfectly comfortable in excruciating silence if it’s not at their expense.
I’m sorry anon but they probably were gonna bully you regardless
Imagine bullying someone because they read a book.
They should be thankful the school didn’t punish the class for not doing the assignment.
Imagine bullying someone because they read a book.
Because anon was different. He was the only one who read the book. That’s why.
And that works with everything:
- only rich kid
- only poor kid
- only athletic kid
- only non-athletic kid
It literally doesn’t matter what the metric is, if you’re different, you’ll be punished.
Fuck you, I didn’t even read your comment, you literate poopiehead!
ILLITERACY RULES!
I was home schooled,* and occasionally I wish I had gone to public school, because I missed out on a lot of cultural touchstones, but then I’m reminded that kids are fucking horrible to other kids at any sign of differentness, and I was a fat, nerdy, gay bookworm, so, yeah, I’m good with the way things shook out. Haha
*Got a great education, not a religious nutjob, was not raised by right wing zealots.
As a homeschool survivor, you’re the exception not the rule
Just imagine this with the books I had to read in school. Yes, I would have read it, I’m a fast reader, so a bad book does not waste too much time. On the other hand, I would have no problems with grilling the author over the shit he or she wrote. Because basically every book we had to read for school was crap. There are so many good books, books that would spark interest and passion for reading more, but somehow they had selected the worst of the worst back then, aimed at making children reel in horror when they see books and vow never to touch a book again after school.
Part of it is also what they make you do to the book. I remember one exercise involving a book of our choice and of course I selected one I already liked at the time. The analysis itself tends to make a book a lot less fun.
