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.
School was horrible for me for many reasons. Was always told I was 'bright' but was horrifically bullied in primary and middle school. Also in middle school and Upper school I tried to over compensate and mask via being the class clown and getting into trouble. Never had any friends or a friendship group and left school with no qualifications. But went back to college after having children and now have gcses, a levels, diplomas and university level qualifications .
