Why I'm Homeschooled

Posted on the 20 March 2012 by Paige
I felt sad, cheerless, blue, depressed, alone, misunderstood, unhappy and miserable in school. I felt like I was stuck on a bridge and if someone didn't rescue me I was going to jump. I felt like I was stuck in prison. I was very upset and drained of energy all the time. I would cry all the time. I had no friends. My problem looked like I was bullied, no one wanted to be my friend and I was shy and dumb. But my problem was I am very sensitive and I feel sympathy and empathy for everything and everyone, and being near so many sad people in school made me sad. I could feel the stress in the air, but what really made me sad was I couldn't change it, I couldn't stop the people who bullied me and everyone else, I couldn't make a difference. And the little stupid voice in my head told me I was useless, unimportant, weak and too small to make a change. So I gave up and sunk in the sadness with the rest of the morons and at home I began to bully my sister and cried all the time.
I had no friends because I didn't need or want any. I'm and introvert and introverts "refuel their energy" by being alone and "day dreaming" and extroverts "refuel their energy" by being with friends.(After being alone for a while I feel happier and less tired.) The only time we could play with our friends was at lunch time but at lunch time I would just walk around alone inside and rest but last year they started to make sure all the kids were outside and they would lock the door so they couldn't get in. I had to hide in the bathroom, under desks or in the art room. I'm very shy and I don't like talking to people.
I couldn't get work done at school because I was too stressed out, sad and tired. The stuff they tried to teach us was stupid and useless and they didn't do a good job of teaching it. The teachers just YELLED ALL THE FREAKING TIME, THEY NEVER TAUGHT US ANYTHING!!! THE ONLY THING I LEARNED IN SCHOOL WAS FROM THE KIDS AND IT WAS HOW TO SCARE PEOPLE BY YELLING AND SWEARING. (I'm going to try not to swear on my blog.)
Schools are made for extroverts, with the desks in groups so they can talk all the time and never be alone, at recess the whole school is put in the same place and my brain just says "NO!!! TOO MANY PEOPLE!!!" and I just shut down. The games and plays that you need to work on as a team, don't be shy, go be an IDIOT!!!
I NEED TO BE ALONE SOMETIMES!!!
I like blogging because it is like talking to people but I don't have to.
I hung out with some kids like me sometimes but they were all bullied and they moved to different schools or were homeschooled.
Not all kids are morons. If I hang out with you I don't think your a moron.
I don't hate all teachers. I have a French tutor who is really nice and smart.
I started homeschooling this year and I've been learning a lot more and I'm no longer a stressed out idiot. (I don't think all kids that go to school and idiots)
Now I feel like I have found myself, I am free, I can do anything, I have kicked the stupid little negative voice out of my head. I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!!!
