I've just been reading the bullying thread and it astounded me how many people were humiliated by their teachers. Is there a higher-up person you can talk to?

Making fun of your bodily functions is not on.

I'm sorry I don't know how to help.

I would guess they live in an English-speaking country with poor support for people like them. Although it's a bit of a stretch, I am thinking they're a Coloured person in South Africa. Although English is not most Coloured people's mother tongue, I would expect most people to speak it fluently.

But SA is a poor country and probably a piss poor place to have to survive if you're disabled and non-white.


I'm white though... (unfortunately)

That's not ok to assume my race when I have posted photos of myself before.

They just threw out a Looney Tunes word search that had Elmer on it that was printed for me :cry:

What country are you in? I was assuming the US but I read another one of your posts and it sounds like maybe South Africa. Maybe you could get in touch with some of these people?

There are people of all races in South Africa and no matter what race you are, that doesn't matter, you're still a human being and deserve to be treated with respect.

I don't remember any photos.

Well you can't be in South Africa as it seems to be Summer where you live, but not in South Africa. Also not Australia, which was another guess I had.

You mean the US state, Connecticut?

I thought some of your diction didn't come across as American. Connecticut should have decent institutions for vulnerable people.

I don't know what to make of it.

I am also being forced to stay over for summer, and I don't want to deal with this s**t all summer, I want to have fun! This school makes me more depressed than I already am. I wish I was normal so I can be in a normal school and get a job when I am supposed to! :cry:


*MADE ME stop watching it

Are you legally responsible for yourself or are they? If you don't have a legal guardian your family isn't allowed to make decisions on your behalf unless you allow them to.

Honestly sounds like the worst school I ever heard of. Adults in positions of trust infantalising and abusing other adults.

The last thing on my mind is how do I talk to this woman in her 20s like she's a infant?" Boggles my mind with how others rationalise their behavour and wake up every morning deciding to do that.

Yeah I don't get it either and to be honest I'm struggling to come to terms with this kind of thing actually going on in the world

I think the OP mentioned elsewhere that they are an "age regresser", so this might have something to do with going to school at an older biological age.
