People like to say “when you go to college/work you’ll find out how little high school issues matter” but what I see often is that those “meaningless problems” have huge impacts on people years later. I’ve known people who still talk about getting bullied well into their adulthood.

I wanted to go to college, because everyone has to earn money to survive.

But the trauma made me fear humans, so I become a shut-in NEET after HS

Is it because of school? I had a rural American education that gave me nightmares to this day. I don't blame people who don't want to send their kids to school but it still may be the least worst option.

Homeschooling gets a pretty bad rep because 95% of the time it's associated with religious wackos, and it represents an undoing of the kind of progressive state policy that both Marxists and liberals can agree on.

I was homeschooled mostly to avoid the atrocious bullying my siblings experienced in the local rural school. I feel lucky to have gotten a comparable or better education than my peers once I hit highschool. The only exceptions were French, basic social skills that took a long time to pick up, and the fact that it's hard for me to sit down and shut up in a workplace shrug-outta-hecks

I wish I was homeschooled. But not every parent has the resources.

Being a lone Asian kid in a school full of non-Asians is just inviting yourself to be relentlessly bullied

did u experience a school shooting?

nah, I was just bullied. I was the one who was stereotyped as a potential school shooter, but I'm Asian, and Asians don't really own guns so it wasn't a fair assumption. Just because I couldn't make friends (lack of social skills), doesn't mean I'm necessarily a shooter
