School's being "rough"

Re: School's being "rough"

The secondary school I went to was a complete and utter dump. Bullying was rampant, and very little was ever done about it. If you did fight a bully back, you would end up with the worst end of it one way or another. Get into a fight, even if you were attacked first, you would still be caned (unless you point blankly refused to hold your hand out.). Receiving a clout off a teacher for the smallest of things was not uncommon. By the fifth year, most pupils did not care if they would pass any exams, they just wanted out. What should have been the best years of our lives, turned out to be the worst. I had very little contact with people I went to school with after I left. For the vast majority, I could not care less if they are still alive or not. There may have been around three kids I wish I had kept contact with. The real friends came about when I started work.

exactly my secondary school was tough.
at times i hated it but it has taught me to stick up for myself.

Exactly. If nothing else my first Secondaery taught me to be tough/stick up for myself ... if only I knew then what I knew later in life!!

I would love to haunt (lol) the guy's there in my next life as a Ghost, who made me life terrible! Well at least if it wasn't demolished anyhow as I couldn't through that as I don't have any malice etc in me and generally too Ghosts are peaceful and harmless to people regardless I believe/hope.

There where many people in my class who where nasty people and i just avoided them.
One day id have friends then fall out the next day and so on.

I admitt my first Secondary School was far from perfect and a real dump, that had nothing going for it and I hated it. Now though I appreciate it, as a lot of the kids there i'd not bother one iota with now. In a way though I am glad that I went there - as though a lot might be people who you would'nt want to cross even now, it taught me quite few thing's .... "the school of hard life", fending for yourself, being friends one day, not the next ... then not for another 3 weeks. One kid he was such a crawler/creep - we'd had a row earlier in the day or he had "wanted" to be friends and we fell out, then he "agreed" to be friends for 1 hour or 2 only for this show thing later that night, then we'd not be friends again after as a prime example. This is what is great about School I think in a way - teaching you thing's in differing aspect's of life etc etc.
