#its not even like an oppression olympics thing like I unironically enjoyed a lot of parts of high school!! including the readings

so fucking funny when people act like having to read books and remember equations for high school was oppressive and discriminatory. my dad didn’t have a job for most of my high school career and i had to eat crackers for lunch until my senior year, my best friend died tragically when i was a senior, and my school didn’t add me to the board of graduating seniors and the colleges they were attending because i was gay. but yeah its fucked up we had to read the scarlet letter or whatever

#syd squeaks #its not even like an oppression olympics thing like I unironically enjoyed a lot of parts of high school!! including the readings #even books I disliked like the scarlet letter I can appreciate what we learned from them #but having to read books and learn shit isn't the bad part of high school #its the lack of mental health resources and support especially in public schools like I attended #everyone had to look the other way when I stopped buying/bringing a lunch #when gwen died I was sent to the guidance counselor once but she was so busy with college stuff for 500 seniors #she just gave me fucking crayons and let me draw instead of going to environmental science #thats the fucked up part of high school
