Ik basically every school aged person you met will tell you they hate school, but (and tell me if this is normal for you guys) I like phicallly and mentally get so stressed out by it even starting. As soon as summer starts I’m dreading starting a new school year, and I’ve had panic attacks over it.
It’s not like I go to a bad school, I’m really grateful about the school I go to but I feel like it has such high standards.
I’m mostly axious becuase one, I have a stutter and starting school means having to read out loud, introduce myself, etc. It’s especially bad in Spanish because I know what I’m supposed to say but the teacher and other students think I don’t because I take so long to say it.
Two, friends issues and bullying: my friend group is so shifty and there’s always drama about person A and person B. And for bullying that’s pretty obvious.
Three, and this happens every year since, what 4th grade, is that I get actually depressed during school. I don’t mean just sad like because I have to do work.
Four, I have adhd and at least the symptoms of autism (I haven’t been diagnosed yet) so the crowed halls, loud noises, etc make it really hard to function from day to day not to mention I can’t bring support tools like my DSSA, noise canceling headphones, fidget toys
Physically, when I get sick, even if I feel horrible, if it’s not contagious, I go to school becuase if I miss even a day “oops, you missed the paring for this group project, and assignment worth 70% of your grade, and two tests you have to retake in the next 3 days!” (True story about the tests)
Anyway uh yeah, you can share your experience in the answers but plz don’t share your whole life story
