I get in trouble a lot. Did you as a child?

Post Reply New Topic

I was very well behaved at school - I wouldn't say boo to a goose - very shy and placid, practically mute a lot of the time through either not knowing what to say or not having anything to say.

Since adulthood though I've got progressively more assertive and at times e.g in the workplace, have great trouble not expressing myself too aggressively. I think SSRI anti-depressants have a lot to do with this.

Nope.

I was the ideal child. Rarely got in trouble for much of anything. Never even had a detention.

I actually get in trouble more now as an adult.

I tried to stay out of trouble, but still got severely punished by a teacher with failure to give an immediate response to a question that a NT would have no trouble with. While the troublemakers got far less punishments for doing a lot more trouble.

Plus got in lots of trouble for reacting to others bullying while the bullies got no repercussions. Basically told that they did nothing wrong and it was all my fault.

Yes, I grew up believing I was "stupid and worthless". I still struggle getting over it.

It would have been so nice when I was diagnosed (at age 6) if they gave me a little book or told what I could look out for. They just let me go into the world knowing I was "different".

I wonder if today they point little kids to this site? or are they done the same?

Almost every day. Fighting, running, not sitting still enough, "distracting others" still echoes in my mind. I even received detentions for missing detention - but I couldn't miss the bus, so what was I supposed to do? Left junior high with some 50 hours of unserved detention time.

I got in trouble for the dumbest things, I once got suspended for 2 weeks for dropping a ball of paper. it was like they looked for any reason to get rid of me.

I feel like the antichrist when I read about everyone's childhood misbehavior.

I wouldn't say I got in trouble a lot per se, but I was very, very stubborn and obstinate as a child. I was generally well behaved at school as a kid; in fact, I was probably a little too adherent to the rules in school.

I was a great quiet kid however sometimes some teachers would almost try provoke bad reactions out of me, Some just seemed to take issue with me by my very existance, maybe they feared me? Once I called my teacher an idiot for moving me to a lower math class over one small insident, it was likely the best choice but the way it was handled as wrong and unprofessional and I reused to let stuff like that slip.

I liked Sora's story, reminded me of a few insidents when teachers would twist the facts to their good, then get cought up in my good debate skills and good memery, they would win by default but made for some strange relationships.

I was mostly a good child. My older brother was always the problem child, so I always took the opportunity to be the "pet." With my parents, I sometimes was a brat, but when someone other than my parents babysat for us, I was on my best behavior.

I was in trouble so much. Every teacher and administrator knew me--I was both one of the smartest kids in the school and one of the most difficult. My parents, teachers and I had so many meetings that basically boiled down "A 5-step plan to deal with Rachel". Much of it was that I was bullied, but the bullies were normal and I was not, and there were a lot more of them, so no one believed me. This led to me lashing out at the bullies, or retaliating when they started picking on me, and then I was the only one who got in trouble. I also perceived social situations badly, which led to the belief that I was "making things up for attention"--they never considered AS or any other sort of disorder. So every time I tried to talk about my feelings or what was happening to me, I would be dismissed and sometimes I even got in trouble for "making things up". I got in arguments with kids and teachers a LOT, and sometimes I would hit people and throw things. I was also very sensitive to criticism and again bad at perceiving social situations, so things that probably weren't meant badly by teachers, I saw as threatening, and I fought back. And I had a lot of self-esteem issues and self-hatred that I could only express as anger. I felt sometimes like I spent half of my elementary school career out in the hall calming down. There were a few problems in middle school, not so bad, and nothing at all in high school.

I got in troubles a lot as a child. I still do sometimes. I got into troubles because I was too impulsive, I remember once I used to run around the classroom in kindergarten, and I unvoluntary moved a chair with my hand, and the chair hit a kid near the chair on his mouth, he started to bleed and I got in troubles because of it. Another time, always in kindergarted, I made a sudden move with my arm, because I couldn't, and still can't, coordinate my moves well, and I hit a girl near me on her teeth, and the teacher thought I had done it on porpuse. Then, I used to get up from the chair, talk a lot, throw objects and argue with classmates in elementary school, so I got into troubles more than once. During middle school I kicked a few people because I thought they were following me. Now I'm in high school, I did nothing severe until now, I only threw an objects once, I pushed some people and yelled at some other, I got up from my seat without asking for it, but not a big deal. My ADHD med helps me, and growing up I learned to control myself a bit more.

I was constantly in the headmaster's office when I was 7 ~ 12. Had plenty of corporal punishment, they always called my mother.

As early as i can remember which is pre-school, i got into trouble.
I also had bad behavior issues
It was hard for me to follow instructions. I would run off towards the woods in pre-school or get yelled at for that or some
other "wrong/bad" thing i did. I almost ate a white bead once since i thought it a yogurt covered raisin an they got very mad.

Kindergarten/Elementary school i had behavioral problems, attention span, verbal comprehension, social communication issues, impulse control, and learning issues. I remember being in
kindergarten watching the whole class sit in a circle while the teacher read to them. Evidently that day i refused to sit in the circle with them and i guess the teacher gave up lol.
1st grade i was having trouble learning to read, the teacher told my mother i read by rote memory so thus it didn't count.
They would give us these little books that were the size of pamphlets to memorize and then read to teacher.
I used to get sent out in the hall often who speaking outloud, out of turn, yelling out answers, zoning out.
I was in Special Ed classes for extra help with schoolwork. By 4th grade i left the Special Ed and went back to complete mainstream.
Truly i didn't start reading until 3rd grade when i really loved reading and read a lot.

During HS and Middle school i also had behavioral problems throughout. In HS, the teachers were more willing to help and "work" with me by giving me independent studies so i did not have to go to class all the time, only for tests. I could do work ahead and hand it in.
They made up Independent studies for art since i took all the other art classes.

Through out all school, i had dealt with being ridiculed and teased by various different bullies. They are likes sharks and smell the "different" of people.
I have been one to stick up for myself and get physical towards bullies, so i did get in trouble for fighting at times.
A good punch to the head or 3 actually stops a bully for a good while.
