so i joined Gainesville High School... the principal said that my proof of homeschool work didn't satisfy their standards (i later found out that they didn't SET any standards, and that also, they were SUPPOSED to be going by State standards that they were deliberately shitting all over). so he put me in 9th grade. he gave me the following class schedual.
1st period: Art 2D Composition
2nd period: Fitness Lifestyles
3rd Period: Life Management Skills
A Lunch (the period i hated most)
4th period A: Anatomy and Physiology
5th period A: American History (the only class that taught me anything, and actually taught em everything)
6th period A: Track and Field
notice the fact that those are ALL electives. >.>
so i go through it, i'm doing good, not quite straight A... but i never take my homework home i always finish it in class. i would be hated because the art teacher was a d**k to everyone except me.
the fitness coach didn't care if anyone did the work or not and didn't encourage anybody. he'd just remind them that he'd grade them according to the work they did.
the LMS teacher was difficult to work with, because i came in halfway into the first semester and had to remind her to give me the asignments i missed (bcause she graded me as failing them even though i never GOT them! >.> ) and to give me alternatives to ones that i needed to be there to take... i got alot of extra credit scores from her for my superior handwriting and etiquette, as well as my LMS knowledge that my mom taught me, but baically it was all stuff i already knew.
during lunch, i'd usually not have money to buy lunch, so i'd have to beg for food or money. and then i would try to sneak off to the Track Field to eat because nobody would let me sit with them, but Coach Moore, teh school bully, would issue threats to keep me away, saying i had to stay in the caffateria area. so instead i'd hop the fence and go to the science building and eat out there. but i'd usually get caught by Mrs. Buse. she'd somtimes let m slide, but it was completely random. eventually a chinese/afghan girl who was in my LMS and Art class would let me eat with her and hr friends, but i couldn't understand Mandarin, and she could barely speak english so we'd usually pass notes in class. she was cute, but she had a boyfriend.
Science was hard for me. sweatdrop i would do better on the naming than anything else, but i always got confuse during tests and quizes.... i had a grade that kept switching between D and F. xp the dissection sthough would have been fine with me if people respected the dead bodies more... i ended up going on a strike there in that class until everyone would stop treating the things like puppets or mke rude comments, but even the teacher was into it so nobody stopped.
American History was awesoem. Mr. Forgione was very Anti- textbooks. he knew his stuff too, and would point out thing sleft out. he'd us ethe books as punishment for unruly behavior. had always start the class with a Current Events section, and have us study current events so that we could discuss them in class. smile we had alot of healthy debate. he'd do alot of hands-on assignments, alot of research assignments, alot of movie and documentary assignments, and he'd stop the films at points to talk about what was going on and have us discuss the issues. he was great. and he'd even go into othe important things to use in life, and also he would help us out when we needed it. he bought me lunch a couple times. he was reasonable with assignments too, and was open to knew ideas. there is too much for me to say about him, i'm getting off topic1 xd
track and field. i'd always go there, sleep on the hill for the 15 minute sit took the coach to get their, and then stretch better than anybody there! xd i'd usuallywalk the track with my nose in a book, but there were these two girls and this jerk... the girls were nice, but they were typical american blondes. xp and the jerk was a jerk. who i repeatedly attempted to beat the s**t out of. >.> i dented a metal pole by a good 30 degrees with a swing of my backpack, and broke my CD player in the process. i chased him around campus with a brick until he got in the presence of a school security guard.. sweatdrop
i'd gone through easter break (and three days before it) without any food. 10 days total. i was too depresse dto eat, see? so, ironically, i wa sin 2nd period when i started feeling dizy. i could barely speak, my vision was fading... my head was tingly and cold... my buddy from that class who is as apathetic as they come said "dude, you should go to the nurses office. tell coach Bennet." so i did. he wrote me a pass and away i..stumbled. xd i got halfway there (the classroom was in teh back of campus, and the nure soffice in the front) before i threw up pure gastric acid and passed out. i woke up in the nurses office an hour and a half later, and she fed me twocereal bars, gave me an anytime nurse pass (which i took advantage of later) and sent me home.
but yeah, testing week i was suffering from developing full-on schitzophrenia. so i went to a Crisis Stabilization Unit in Meridian Mental Health Care Institute. went back, testing week was over, yada yada. summer time.
so, first week in, my stepdad wakes me up by kicking me in the back with his workboots and pulling the covers off of my naked body. i freak out because, duh, i'm schitzo. he tells me "GET THE ******** UP THE COPS ARE HERE FOR YOU!" so i thought he called them. no, as it turns out, they pull me outside to talk alone and tell me that they read a piece of paper i wrote on in Meridian that they pulled outof the garbage in which i confessed incestuous feelings for my half-sister. they pull the nice-cop-bad-cop on me (note, the nice cop is the scarey one. >.> ) and than (ILLEGALY, as i later find out!!) take me downtown without telling dad (mom was at work). they read me my rights, i ask to read them myself, i note the part they left out, that i don't have to answer any questions without a lawer present. they try to lie to me and tell me that that only means in the courtroom, even though it specificaly says that i can have one present to answer questions. so they arrest me on the spot.
two weeks in juvanile detention. then my first hearing, where apparrently i'm not allowed to say anything until the end,where they ask me if i have anything to say and i'm not supposed to know what the ******** i'm talking about. (by the way, state attornies don't even try to help you. >.> )
then, 2 more weeks in Juvie, where at some point they FINALLY explain to me the ******** Court system! scream WHAT TH ********!? stressed at the end they tell me that i have an option of either staying in juvie for the wait for my arraignment hearing, or i can stay with my godmother in another city, and they'll transfer my case there. i spent two months with her and found out i think i'd ave liked juvie better. not once did they ever schedual my arraignment hearing, nor did my probation officer ever show up to make sure i was following my probation of not being around anyone under th age of 16. they closed my case (not dropped it, so i'm still on record) because they found out that the cops who arrested me denied my a number of civil rights.
so, i go back home, summer's over in a week or two and i'm back in school. i see my grades. i was supposed to get an excused absence and grade from every teacher for going to Meridian during finals week, but only Mr. Forgione excused it and gave me teh grade i was supposed to get. so, F in art class out of the A that i had. F in LMS out of the A+ that i had (even though i completed everything, for that year in ******** half a semester!), F in Fitness out of the B i had, F in Science that i was gonna make up to a D in the tests, A+ in American History, but F in Track out of the A i had! and it gets worse! they didn't count the first semester even though i did everything for the FULL semester in half of it! so i had a grand total of 0.5 credits for the year! they put me in 9th grade again.
so, class schedual becomes
1st period - 4th period: crap that i already know and am not allowed to change or discuss to more desirable classes even though it says i am allowed to for that reason on the premise that "we save the schedual changes for those who need it most" only to find that NOBODY had asked for a schedual change and they lied to me to tell me that only two slots of of ******** 60 schedual change slots were open, and that even then they were reserved! xp and then, they STILL wouldn't transfer me!
5th period: Keyboarding Class
6th Period: Drama Class
so, i try to sign up for the Drama Club, the Debate Team, S.T.O.M.P. (Students Teaching Open Mindedness and Pride), and Philosophy Club. they had sign up dates between the 4th and the 9th days of school.
on teh second day in school, during 2nd period, i was having a terrible migraine. it was World History Class, see? i was writing the name Karres on a desk (he's a transylvanian embassador that i was fauning over at the time) and the teacher kindly asked me to erase it, which i did. she called me up to talk about something political can't remeber, and i let the word "s**t" slip out once cause i'm a pirate with a sailor's mouth, and when she pointed it out to me i appologized and tried my damnest to keep it clean after that (and succeeded). after that i was mumbling to myself after the bell rang that i needed my pills. i showed the next teacher my anytime nurse pass and went to go get my painkillers.
so, the next day, on my way from 4th period to 5th, teh first of the only two classes that mattered to me, i get stopped by the Deen. he come sto me with his suspiciously happy smile (cause i know he hates me) and told me to come to the office. the whole way there he wouldn't tell me what for, was it good or bad, none of it. once we get their he tells me to sit down, and i ask him if i'm in trouble. he says yes. he gets the principal, Dr. Dixon, who was trying to make the church Baptist Christian Church, denying students rights, is buddy-buddy with Coach Moore, and Bennet, and Deen Wise, and all those other bully tecahers/staff... by this point i'd already learned he was breaking laws, stealing money and covering up for his friends when they bullied or mistreated students.
they show me a referal that the World History wrote up for me after class without telling me about. it said that i vandalized school property, used slander and was suspect of drug-use. i explained everything, and showed them my pass and the papers i had to say that i am allowed to have pankillers. they interupted me to say that they know already (as they should) and that they just plain don't like me. that i wear black clothing and occaisionaly crossdress, that i don't stand for the pledge, that i'm not christian, that i'm anti-establishment, and that i a bisexual. they decide that 5-days in-school detention is a fair punishment for abiding by the rights that their very student guidebook tells me i have!!
GHS Student Guidebook
Nobody, student or teacher, is to discriminate against you on basis of race, religion, nationality, gender, or gender identity. likewise, you are not to discriminate against anyone, student or teacher, on basis of race, religion, nationality, gender, or gender identity.
i dropped out that day.
