I (15m) am socially awkward and have ADHD.
Last year I was 14, and I was in 11th grade two years earlier than usual, as I had written my boards in private when I was 13, as I was good at studies.
At school I faced a lot of challenges. I was trying to make friends by acting goofy and ridiculous. When others did it it was never a problem. The most haunting is the bullying- there was a senior dude who used to beat me up. He had been threatening me for a while before beating me up. I never knew the reason. I had one good friend here, he was a lot like myself. The school principal was an overconfident and annoying lady. She blamed me for being an atheist. She would host assemblies where she would try her best to nose around in students’ personal life. I had enough and decided to quit that school. I went to another school in another town.
So I joined this school. And I faced challenges here too. A meme was shared about me online, and me remembering my past experiences of being bullied, reacted angrily and the guy responsible apologised. But a girl from my class went on with it
I told the teachers and the girl played the blame game. She started crying. She declared that making fun was how people became friends. All that she said seemed to be nonsense at its purest, but the teachers got angry at me.
The classrooms are air conditioned which made me sick. I told the girl to switch it off or incrrase the temperature and she wouldn’t. She claimed “majority wins”. One of the most cold blooded animals I have seen in my life. I told the teachers and they did nothing.
I made one good friend here. We would walk across the compound to evade the air conditioning, to get some fresh air and sun. But a teacher got mad at us for it and I retaliated by asking him whether this was a prison. I personally find nothing wrong with questioning a teacher when there is something serious.
In class I was mocked for being bad at sports. The entire class was loudly humiliating me. It felt horrible. They wouldn’t stop. I vowed to take revenge on each and every classmate except that innocent friend.
I rudely got asked which class I have by a girl from my class while I was walking to the lab. I responded saying it was none of her business.
That was not all, I got stared at by the English teacher for suggesting that a student’s work was bad during the peer review.
I just don’t seem to understand these people. I do need help with social skills.
