I hate my new school!

Post Reply New Topic

Before I get to the actual topic, I'm going to share a bit about the education system in my country Singapore:-

Nursery -> Kindergarten 1 (K1) -> Kindergarten 2 (K2) Primary 1 -> Primary 2 -> Primary 3 -> Primary 4
Primary 4 -> Primary 5 (EM1 [TOP STUDENTS HERE]) -> Primary 6 (EM1)
Primary 4 -> Primary 5 (EM2 [AVERAGE STUDENTS HERE]) -> Primary 6 (EM2)
Primary 4 -> Primary 5 (EM3 [POOR STUDENTS HERE]) -> Primary 6 (EM3)

Primary 6 -> Secondary 1 (Sec 1) (Express [TOP STUDENTS HERE]) -> Secondary 2 (Sec 2) (Express) -> Secondary 3 (Sec 3) (Express) -> Secondary 4 (Sec 4) (Express)
Primary 6 -> Secondary 1 (Sec 1) (Normal Academic (NA) [AVERAGE STUDENTS HERE]) -> Secondary 2 (Sec 2) (NA) -> Secondary 3 (Sec 3) (NA) -> Secondary 4 (Sec 4) (NA) -> Secondary 5 (Sec 5) (NA)
Primary 6 -> Secondary 1 (Sec 1) (Normal Technical (NT) [POOR STUDENTS HERE]) -> Secondary 2 (Sec 2) (NT) -> Secondary 3 (Sec 3) (NT) -> Secondary 4 (Sec 4) (NT)

Sec 4 (Express) -> Polytechnic (Poly) (2-4 years) [AVERAGE STUDENTS HERE]
Sec 4 (Express) -> Junior College (JC) (2 years) [TOP STUDENTS HERE]
Sec 4 (NA) -> Institute of Technical Education (ITE) (2-3 years) [POOR STUDENTS HERE] -> Poly
Sec 5 (NA) -> Poly
Sec 5 (NA) -> JC
Sec 4 (NT) -> ITE
Sec 4 (NT) -> Sec 5 (NA) [TOP STUDENTS OF NT HERE]

Poly -> University
JC -> University

I'm now gonna add some important info:-

Sec 4 (Express) - GCSE Ordinary Level Examination (O-Levels) (Yup! We use GCSE standards from Cambridge University)
Sec 5 (NA) - O-Levels
Sec 4 (NA) - GCSE Normal Level Examination (N-Levels)
Sec 4 (NT) - N-Levels
JC (Second Year) - GCE Advanced Level Examination (A-Levels)

I hope this format doesn't confuse you guys. Also, note that this might not be accurate, so to give more accurate explaination, please go to this link:-

Now, on to the general info about my education:-


Special Needs School (ever heard of Horizon Centre?) -> Primary 1 -> Primary 2 -> Primary 3 -> Primary 4 -> Primary 5 (EM2) -> Primary 6 (EM2) -> Sec 1 (NA) -> Sec 2 (NA) -> Sec 3 (NA) -> Sec 4 (NA) -> ITE

I'm actually, in no way, a total idiot enough to enter ITE. So I joined a private school called BMC Academy and take the GCSE O-Level Course there.

Now, on to the problem:-

At my new school, there are a few, but major, problems there:-

1. Most of the students there are juvenile delinquents and gangsters, wearing make-up (for girls) and piercings (for all), smoking and drinking.
2. A bully from my previous school named Ameer who used to pick on me has started spreading rumors along with his pals that I'm ret*d, and those he told actually believed him!

And the worst part about this is that my Dad doesn't give the flying f**k about my problems and is more concerned about my grades, money, and whether I'm skipping classes, which I'm beginning to!
And because of this, my Asperger's is beginning to get in the way of my interaction with my classmates, causing me to act awkwardly towards them and become shy and reclusive. What am I to do at a time like this?!

If the students there want to be juvenile delinquents and mess up their own lives, let them. Even if their activities bother you, just concentrate on what your there for - to learn.
About the rumors that this bully is spreading, you know they aren't true, right? Aslong as you know that, you can let all the other people be complete morons and believe him and you can laugh at their ignorance (not literally, I mean laugh inside your head about how pathetic they all are).

I'm not sure what to do about your dad, sorry. If he doesn't care about what problems your having then it's probably not worth telling him about them if he's making you feel worse. Does BMC Academy have a counsellor there? If so, you could speak to him/her about your problems and get advice.
