ok so now that ive blocked all my friends from private school on here lemme tell u the shitfest that is private school as someone who isnt rich
to give you an idea of what the gap was in wealth persay was everyone was having really healthy lunches and was buying loads of shit in the cafeteria while i was practically sweeping the floor under their feet to afford to have something even basic to eat
i brought some food from home too for lunch btw but lets be real, 1 sandwich isnt gonna cut it for 9-10 hours of school + extra curriculur
the culture shock i had coming from public school to private school was like a slap in the face and i resorted to less than healthy coping mechanisms just to make it through each day for the first 3 months
the amount of fucking drama that went on was ridiculous as well. in public school if u have a problem you throw hands and thats it but here people were throwing laptops, pouring water into bags like it was some fucking assassin movie irl or some shit
like i agressively disliked one guy and it was mutual so i was like yeah whatever just wont talk to each other, but this man goes and UNSEWS my fucking jacket zipper one of the days where it wad pissing rain meaning i got soaked
another guy spread rumours about me bc i was friends with his gf and if it wasnt for me being friends with the schools drug dealer - dont even get me started with that - i would have gotten thr shit kicked out of me and nothing done about it
like it was 3 guys and 6ft4 and built to match so my (at the time) 5ft8 ass was as good as dead lol
the point of this thread is if you cant afford to comfortably send your kid to private school dont. i was 1 of maybe 5 or 6 kids whos parents barely got them into the school and i can tell you for a fact all of us were bullied in a way not even public school can prepare
it was online anon harrasment, it was physical, it was mental, taking away friends from you. like i lost someone who i was super close with for 8+ years bc of these rumours
i couldnt tell you whether it was better that i moved to private school or not because either way you look at it i was getting bullied to fuck. im glad i moved bc i discovered how much i genuinely love music and apart from gaming its the first thing ive been passionate abt
in a while
but fr if you need to stretch yourself to send your child to private school dont. maybe i was unlucky, or maybe my pricate school was shit. but fucking hell man i stuck out like a sore thumb and every single kid in my year didnt let me forget it
