Have you ever had a melt down in school

Post Reply New Topic

I was nicknamed "crybaby" for them in elementary school. Even now, I still have the tendency to meltdown there occasionally. My latest ones were one during a meeting with a professor and another I had last week was due to frustration with homework. People were very supportive to me in the latter though. They took it as a breakdown due to stress or something.

Not so much meltdowns since I've always been kind of reserved. But I used to cry a LOT in elementary school, especially during the first grade. The teacher had it out for me and made me cry on a daily basis. I was very sensitive as a child and the fact that she would go out of her way to scream and yell at me, sometimes in front of everyone else, really got to me. (Truth be told I wish I DID have a meltdown at her...but I'm too nice).

The closest I came to having a meltdown would be my freshman year of high school. I was moved to a 'mainstream' class because the available special-ed english class didn't challenge me at all. The teacher decided it was 'game day' (a.k.a pop quiz style games that lasted two periods). I got so tired of it (always hated class games and group projects) and because it was so lengthy I pretty much made it known that I was having a miserable time. I was sighing, huffing, puffing, rolling my eyes, slamming my hands on the desk...should've stayed in the small class. .____.

In grade school? Oh, yes.

I hated school so much that I would make every effort to either stay home, or make life a living hell for the faculty. I once threatened to jump off a high ledge before being nabbed by local cops. My record also includes screaming bloody murder down hallways and in classrooms. I actually got some classrooms evacuated.

I don't know if I'm proud of that or not.

Sure glad those days are over though.

I had one on Tuesday after failing a math test that all but guarantees I can't continue going to college.
