I felt like they all tried to intimidate us about junior high school. Always reminding us that we are “up a creak without a paddle” trying to make us work harder. I also didn’t enjoy class because of the environment; our freedom was restricted due to the bubble of protection around us. Thinking about it now I feel as though the staff was over bearing trying to mature us to quickly. Overall middle school was the worst two years of my life.
She struggled with school like I have sometimes. She refuses to speak most of the time and she misbehaves in ways to try to give meaning to her life or to avoid the pain she feels deeply. Her grades start dropping and she loses interest in almost everything. I had to keep a secret once. A secret I felt like I couldn’t tell anyone because of the fear that if I told my whole family would hate me.
The classroom of today has been transformed into a variable war zone. Teachers are forced to walk on eggshells at all times or risk being fired because of an enraged parent or possibly a student that felt mistreated because an author used the word “nigger.” Some students get the idea that they are being persecuted because of the material they are being taught. To some, it seems that people seem to look for an excuse to be offended and take action against whoever they feel needs to be punished for reading a book. Teachers are now doing their jobs with both hands tied and children are at a disadvantage because of it. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is written by a master of satire, Mark Twain, who uses his characters to reflect the world’s happenings around him.
I resented her and did not feel like she was a true parent because she was always yelling or correcting me about something I would do wrong. Therefore I began to rebel. Just as Dobson stated in his book, when the relationship is not there the child tends to rebel. Personally I felt like my mother did not care. That is why I did not care to have a relationship with her.
A lot of hateful words were said amongst the two of us, some words I just recently forgiven her for. My mother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago. She refuses to get treatment. As you can imagine, living with a bipolar person can be extremely difficult. While growing up, I felt confused, lonely and hated by my mother.
But she started yellin an screamin at me and I got scairt George would get mad if she was yellin an screamin like that. I told her to stop but she wuldnt listen. Nope. She jus kept on hollerin. An now i dont get to tend no rabbits.
These qualities ultimately tend to be possessed by true heroes. I have not always always acted with great heroism, especially while dealing with extreme issues, my battle with depression though tested me to show what I believe to be a since of heroism. Middle school was an extremely difficult time for me, bullies and teachers sought me out every day and acted with tremendous displeasure towards me. I valiantly to prove the kids whom crushed me and made comments that left a permanent impression on my brain. My parents, after my consistent begging and pleading, graciously offered me the opportunity to attend Northwest Middle School.
Growing up I was bullied plenty of times by insensitive students. The bullying and mocking affected me to the point where I didn’t want to go to school. However, with advice from my parents I learned to ignore the bullying and mocking because I was better than
There, I was constantly bothered by other students because I dressed differently. My parents couldn’t afford to buy me name brand shoes or clothes. I was ashamed to go to school at times. I cried a lot for the ridicule that other students had on me. Even though that was my past, Camden High School
Brian’s parents expect so much from him, they expect him to get all A’s and that puts a lot of pressure on him. When he was younger, his parents must have praised him when he got A’s but didn’t do anything when he got B’s. Brian’s parents gave Brian the idea that he can only get A’s and if he doesn’t then he isn’t good enough. Claire’s parents fought a lot and used her to get back at each other. One parent would tell her one thing, and then the other one would tell her to do the complete opposite; she never knew what to do.
