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.
I have a very low tolerance for bullies in the workplace and push back as soon as possible. You spend a large portion of your life at work and you can't carry on if it is hell. I am lucky at the moment that all the team I am in are nice and professional.
The anxiety is bad isnt it. I was constantly on edge in school. I also had a great time in primary as well....
I learnt nothing in school either. Waste of time
Same here, my (vague) memories of primary school are pretty good
I didnt get bullied too badly. Had to occasional person who wanted to beat me up for nothing at all, but besides that....i just flew under the radar. Went to college, couldnt make friends either. Suprisingly, i found the bullies to be in the work place. I left one job because of one. In another, i snapped and threatened one particular co worker. Didnt bother me again....that wad after months of name calling, getting other staff to call me names. Finally pushed the nuclear option.....
To put it in one word, terribly.
For me school was just a place where I was extremely anxious and struggled with the work. I found it hard being in such a busy and noisy environment and I got bullied to right up until I left.
Probably the worst times of my life. Hated every second of it.
I liked primary school though.
I coped very badly, constant bullying and anxiety, lashing out at the bullies which always got me into trouble. I did do very well in maths and art though (and a very early computer studies). couldn't wait to leave but I went straight into the old YTS scheme doing computer studies and all the same things happened - bullying, being the outsider etc. All this without knowing about Autism.
School sucked
You could spell out fudge with my GCSE'S. But i did get all three C's in Science. I also got a C in maths at college after but genuinely couldn't care less about school as I never wanted to go to uni anyway. Spent most of my time drawing in my books or facing the wall out in the hall way in isolation or dention. Nothing I learnt at school has proven useful to me as an adult. If I want to learn something now I'll just use YouTube. I did a mixture though of agriculture college and catering and hospitality cause I couldn't make my mind up but I did good in catering hospitality came out with a couple C's and a B in the end B on the practical C on theory
