The merits of school and being unable to attend.
Tell me, have you ever had to miss school and be stuck at home for SO long that you desperately wanted to go back? This came to my mind as I have been stuck at home for nearly two months and return to school tommorow (as of my posting this) and I cannot wait.

After a while, even vacations like the Summer Vacation get old. I mostly find myself missing the atmosphere of school, being with friends, but not school itself.
Eh, I was stuck in a hospital for a week once. I was wishing I could go back.
For an abrasive introvert like myself, no, never had that. At worst, the only thing that I've missed was talking to my school friends and that was it. I was totally fine at home.
Ohh yeah. I get bored after every semester at college. By August I'm like "plss give me something to write or research. Anything!!!" lol Then I'm tired of doing work all over again and dying for summer time fun.
I finished high school last year and I kinda miss it
I was bedridden with severe anxiety and depression for almost two months when I was 15, so I missed a lot of school. It was so bad that I was too afraid to leave my house and didn't have enough energy to even get out of bed. It was mostly caused by bullying but there were other things involved too.
During that time I desperately wanted to go back to school, to go anywhere, just to be anywhere else. But I couldn't.
Why does that look like a gay superman.
As much as I hate school, I love it at the same time.
Even though it seems boring when an old dude or dudette lectures infront of class, we actually learn something that could be useful in the future.
Plus, most of the time, i meet up with my friends at school. (Strict parents, so we hardly go outside to shop at the mall or some shit)
The only thing I miss when I'm away from school is my friends. What really sucks though is that I'm graduating in two months and most of my friends are a grade behind me. I won't be able to see them as often since they'll be in school all day and I'll be home or at work, or something.
The only thing I missed where my friends, other than that I was fine.
Well, since my exams are closing in and high school is coming to an end....I'm starting to miss it, even though it's been pretty hard for an introvert like me to make a lot of "friends", there are some people which I'll most probably miss. Dare I say, even some teachers:).
However, if you would've asked me the exact same thing about a year ago, I would've laughed in your face. This just goes to show that we only miss a thing only when we don't have it anymore.
I miss dicking around with my friends and pissing my Biology teacher off, but not the actual "school" part of it.
Two months, you say? I had that happening to me once, but it was not for two months. Just what the hell did they do to make you feel that down?
I went through a scene phase when I was 15 and they took it for "emo", so they said things like "why don't you go cut your wrists some more" and "if you really want to die so bad why don't you just do it". I also received death threats. It didn't help that I felt entirely alone and had no one to turn to.
I wasn't really afraid of the death threats because I knew they couldn't really hurt me. I was more afraid of the humiliation.
I can somewhat relate. Though, I never received death threats.
I used to be a loner until recently. Many would call me "Voldemort" for my face or be making fun of my German background and personal love for German culture (they did this ESPECIALLY in reference to the Nazis). I would often intentionally kick my ingrown toenail into something so that I could not walk and thus was either sent home or stayed home. I am glad to say that this is no longer the case.
When did this, or how did it stop for you (if you are comfortable answering that)?
I'm sorry to hear that... people are cruel sometimes.
My mother had me change schools so that I wouldn't have to be around those people anymore. After some therapy I was able to attend class as usual, but it still took some time to start feeling actually normal.
It was not a matter of cruelty, but rather one of idiots trying to look cool in the eyes of their mates. "Look! I can bully the tall and scary looking one and not recieve a beating in return!" is what I believe the point was. This changed when I finally told the staff and took up therapy myself. I am sorry you had to change schools for that to happen. It is good it became resolved, though.
I do not hold high prospects for those whom have bullied me as they are all imbeciles, and probably will complete school in the reign of Her Majesty, Queen Dick. Were those whom bullied you the foolish idiots of the school, or was it a general thing (again, you needn't answer if you do not want to)?
Could be that too. I know people like that really well unfortunately. They'll do anything for a leg up in their social groups, even if it hurts other people. It's pathetic. Just shows how insecure they really are. It's good that you finally stood up for yourself and got help. Nobody should have to go through that.
They were all idiots, lol. But it started with a group of people who bullied me first and through rumours and other crap it spread throughout the school. The idiots were the ones who believed them. I don't hold any grudges against them though because I know I'll be happy one day and they'll still be regretting everything they ever said.
Well, if they remain idiots, anything that happens is of their doing. I just hope for their sake that they develop some amount of maturity. It is not a likely prospect in my eyes, but a plausable one.
You don't have a nose??
You mean your parents don't let you go outside with your friends? My parents call me an idiot when I get calls from my friends and I decline lol.
eh, it's my friend's parents that are strict.
My mom doesn't care when I go out to the mall
That makes more sense
One time, when I broke my leg in high school (yey for PE accidents). I was at home for only 1 or 2 weeks but I was so sad and desperately wanted to see my friends x)
Not exactly. My nose formed nearly flat against my face. I have since had multiple surgeries to rectify this defect.
lol. Child Rape Innuendo.
How is that supposed to make it any less degrading?
This is going to be my first day back in 3 months and I feel like a trapeze artist has decided to camp in my stomach. That's one reason school isn't so great, the suspense.
I make it sound like a horror movie.
Superman does whateva the hell he wants
WTH, Best time to hit on women is when you are in college.
