Just curious about people who slipped through the net, so to speak. How did you cope with school? I developed quite good ways of hiding how much i struggled. It helped that i was in most of the bottom sets, as no one really cared back then. I was in the top set for biology, i excelled in that area. Nothing else part from sport. I hated going in every day, i was like a zombie....i literally cant remember my last year in school. Ive blanked it out completely.
From what I can remember, which isn't a lot, school for me was a lonely place to be. I was the girl who was always on her own and had no friends. Kept my head down and studied hard. I excelled in most classes as I found learning interesting and exciting so it became an obsession of mine though I despised sports. The teachers got respect or you got a thick ear! I remember one teacher Mr Short now there was a man you would never cross. He was fierce!
School was lonely for me but then I never wanted any friends because I was different. I was happy on my own learning and enjoying most of the lessons.
