Unless one of your parents don't work and you're home schooled, there's no way out until you're 16. This injustice has left me traumatized. My home life was terrible and to have to put aside my problems to learn that bullshit in school, nearly killed me literally. How can anyone go along with this and be fine with it.

They didn't teach me what to do if you're abused. They didn't teach me how to stand up for myself. They didn't empower me in any way, instead indoctrinating me with slavery. To always do as you're told, is to follow a blind master right into a pit.

So I picked up smoking, ran away often, and turned into an outcast. Everything I know, I learned on my own in a vain attempt at liberating myself. Now I'm trying to quit smoking and become a better person, but the mental wounds of forced education ain't healing easily.

Ya, it's really unfair that kids are forced to go to school based on their assigned district - when that could include a garbage school

While public education is awful and generally unpleasant, children aren't able to recognize or look out for their best interests so adults need to step in until a certain age.

Evidently it didn't happen at your school, but my school definitely taught us to talk to someone if we were being abused.

Yeah my mom fought for me to go to my elementary school. School should be mandatory, no matter what but you shouldn't be forced to go to certain districts. If you want to drive your kid 5 miles to school, you should have that option.

This. All schools are not equal, even within the district.

But I do get their reasoning behind it. Overcrowding in a school is a thing, and they kinda have to prioritize the kids that live near the school. Could you imagine if you lived 2 blocks away from a school but were told you couldn't go there because the classes were full? If it's a public school, how else do you even regulate how many students get to go there?

A better plan would be bring up the quality of education in all schools so that it wouldn't matter, but talking to my teacher friends, that's basically impossible. When the school is in a low income area, and the kids who come to school have significant problems at home, it just takes longer to get even the basics across, as they can't 100% focus at school, and sure as hell won't be doing any homework.

Nice bait attempt, but I didn't know what an Incel was until you guys started bringing it up. Think what you want, I know the truth about what happened and what my intentions were.

You didnt go to a counselor, or seek help from friends or other family? Or at least tell the police? It sounds like you didn't explore your options and just expected someone to figure it out. Sometimes, you have to help yourself first before others can help you. And picking up smoking was your bad decision.

Local kids get first choice of course. I am not saying get rid of districts. I am simply saying if you can and are able to go to another school, then you should. Kids in the district should get first priority but you shouldn't be forced to only attend that school, even if your school if choice has an opening.

The fact that you save these things just to throw them back at people weeks later is pretty fucked up. Get a life. I could explain myself again but I've already done it before and don't feel like it.

I suppose it was mental illness that stopped me from doing those things, namely depression, anxiety and addiction. Depression because I couldn't come to terms with my own past, anxiety because I had no trust in anyone, and addiction as a form of escape from it all. I wanted to die, and on top of it I was harassed by my parents every day about why my grades were not good. I could handle either school or bad home life, but not both at the same time.

i just went to the archive website and searched your name, took like 40 seconds, and that includes making the image

and there's no explaining yourself, seeing as how your words speak for themselves there

I don't even think the nearest school to my house is within 5 miles. here if kids wanted to go to a different school it would probably be like a 40 minute ride minimum.

The reason things escalated wasn't because I was looking for a gf and got turned down, but because I was annoyed with her to begin with.

Naw, I said what I felt like saying at the time. Attention-seeking like that should not be met with kindness and open arms Imo, so I regret nothing.

Well then it wouldn't apply to you then lol but there are other places where a different school is only a few more blocks away. Example me, there are multiple schools in San Diego you can go to.
