[@PeninsulaCity2024]

What my highschool conditioned me to do: 1) If you get beat up, you get suspended / expelled for fighting. Visible bruises = you threw punches. So if a kid just minding his business gets sucker punched while on his way to an AP class, guess what, he is the one getting suspended. Thank Zero Tolarance policies for that one. 2) If you seek help because you were getting bullied or attacked, you get ignored or lectured as to why making "false" accusations is bad. Additionally, they may turn the tables on you and say that this is an admission of violance and start the process to expell you. Now, I find it difficult to seek assistance in the real world because of this experence. It didn't help that the school's on-site police were just as bad. Funny how that is constructed in a way as if there was a pipe-line of sorts. 3) Your opinons don't matter unless you're a young and attractive girl - I'll let your imagination run with that one. 4) Corruption. So many cut corners to save and even make a buck off record. From canceled classes, programs, and electives, to hiring vulgar and/or untrained teachers and subsitutes who do nothing or act just as bad as the bullies. Some where even caught dealing drugs or even physically assulting students but no action was taken aganst them. This is when I knew the US education system is beyond repair and I would have to learn everything elsewhere. 5) Covert racism and xenophobia. While my highschool has students from all over with a majority of Asian descent such as myself, there was a push by the admins and staff to ignore lessons about other cultures and languages if not outright cancelling them. Cultural festivals were axed, language classes were shortened, history was propaganda, and the only blatant display of this xenophobia was when the principal required the visiting Japanese students to only speak english while on school grounds and not to engage in any "foreign customs or act in a non-standard manner". The exchange program was eventually suspended. - The only takeaway I got was how all of this got reversed when a new admin stepped in after a botched truancy crackdown that practically suspended the entire school for showing up "late". Basically, they got rid of the 30-minute grace period between the first bell and the start of the first class for a week. It was a disaster. Especially since the students they were targeting didn't even show up in the first place. Many parents were pissed as they saw the shitshow unfolded. Some even sued. All in all, my experience with highschool in the US is that of absolute misery. At least the silver lining here is that yes, grades don't matter, your ability to survive does. I know at least one classmate who flunked out big time and is now making bank working as an engineer at Tesla. A last laugh to those "adults" who made him litteraly suicidal back then.

We can't take responsibility for our feelings and we can't control them, so it's completely fine to hurt. Trauma is not a competition and can't be measured. Just because people might have it "worse" does not mean your feelings aren't valid. We all take things differently, so if it hurt you, even if it wouldn't hurt you nowadays, it's still valid. Getting dumped wouldn't mean much for me while other people cry for months on end- they just take things differently. You weren't just a wimp for feeling hurt, as insignificant as the reason it might seem now. What happened, happened and you couldn't change a thing about it.

i should've learned the no shitting in the bathroom rule early. in middle school, me and this girl from my soccer team went to the bathroom together. she was fixing her hair, and i was taking a shit. she starts laughing and goes "wait, are you pooping?" and i was like "...yeah, so?" and then she just kept laughing. and yet, i ignored this red flag of shitting in the bathroom, ignored the foreshadowing in the Poop arc of the story that is my life (rated very badly on MAL). I continued to shit in the school bathroom, albeit more cautiously now (my shits were quicker and more ninja-like--i would disguise the *plorps* that my meatballs made in the toilet water in loud sounds such as the bell ringing, the sink running, etc.) fast forward to freshman year of high school. i believe that i'm all alone in this bathroom after school. i'm changing in the stall, getting ready for a soccer game, when i realize that i'm nervous. and, for me, being nervous equals extensive shitting. so, i plop my ass on the toilet seat and the dumping begins. just as i'm getting out my last turd, 2 girls come in the bathroom. i realize they are seniors from my soccer team, and i am very not good at talking to them already. because of my previous soccer girl related experience in the bathroom when i was shitting, i quickly lift my feet off of the ground so they can't see that i'm in the stall, and then clench my ass cheeks for dear life. they stayed in that bathroom for at least 5 minutes, changing and gossiping in the stalls directly next to mine, checking their braids and ponytails in the mirror. all the while, i've created a new olympic event, one that involved the core of my being--for all of that time, through the power of teenage anxiety and dread, i kept my feet off of the floor, all the while holding in the literal shitstorm between the perilous cracks in my ass. just as i thought i was doomed, the girls left, their cleats stomping off through the door and down the hallway until they faded into the oblivion. i waited a solid 5 extra minutes just to make sure they were really gone (it was easier now that i could put my feet back down on the ground) and then i let the tsunami rip into the poor toilet bowl. from that day forward, i learned the no shitting in the bathroom rule and i learned it well. every time i felt the need to empty my chocolate mush into the nearest receptacle, i was reminded of my traumatic experiences, and would ditch the idea (or, on very rare occasions, i would proceed to the bathroom and do my business with utmost caution. this was only in cases of emergency). i wish our society could change--perhaps, in the future, frequent shitters like myself can liberate ourselves from this mortal coil of public bathrooms, and finally, we can throw off our pants and poop with pride. but alas, we do not live in that world. thank god i'm out of high school.

I attended a Paraguayan school from 1st grade to the first half of 4th grade, loved going to school. My classmates LOVED me. They were like my older siblings. Then I moved to my parents’s country Taiwan and entered a local public school. Things were very different from that Paraguayan school but I still liked school and the classmates were peaceful. Then I transferred to another local public school in another district and still loved going to school and got along just fine. After graduating from elementary school, I began 7th grade at a unique Junior High School. I still enjoyed school and the classmates were alright. But then the moment I got to ANS all Hell broke loose. I still liked learning. But the schoolmates were savages. I had never experienced so much hostility, racism, xenophobia, PREJUDICE all my life. I loved knowledge and learning from the teachers in classes but BOTH the local students AND ANS were bullies. In fact, the school is an even BIGGER BULLY than those students. Sometimes I would stay inside the school’s girls bathroom during classes for the entire hour just so I wouldn’t see nor be seen by those racists. They disgust me more than the school’s bathroom. I would pray for Taiwan and Nicaragua to break international relations so that there would no longer be a Taiwanese Embassy in Nicaragua so that we could move to another country because I was informed that there were no other good school options to transfer to in Nicaragua, so my only way out of ANS was Taiwan and Nicaragua breaking foreign affairs cause my father worked at the Taiwanese Embassy in Nicaragua. It never happened before I left Nicaragua. I wanted to die but I didn’t want to die in Nicaragua because it was my racist bullies’s country, so out of spite I lived. Finally I quit school. I was more okay with being a high school dropout than seeing those racist bullies’s faces. It was my happiest year in Nicaragua because I no longer had to see those people at ANS. I returned to Taiwan for vacation for about a month or two. Then back to Nicaragua I started learning Taekwondo from some local Nicaraguans. We got along VERY well. They were so much nicer than ANS type of Nicaraguans. I also taught Mandarin to many normal Nicaraguans at the Taiwanese Embassy. They were LOVELY. Then it dawned on me. There’s nothing wrong with Nicaragua or its people. The problem was ANS. I actually get along pretty darn well with the Non-Americanized, normal types of Nicaraguans. I tried to transfer back to Taiwan but it was too late at 11th grade. I tried the Nicaraguan Christian Academy but I wasn’t religious enough for them. I tried a local Nicaraguan school next door but it was also too late. Annoying how some people think American schools are superior than other countries. It’s untrue. Both Paraguayan schools and Taiwanese schools are better, I already know that. If I could go back in time I would ask my parents to enroll me to a local Nicaraguan school instead at 13. 🇵🇾🇹🇼🇳🇮
