Yes I am from and currently living in Mexico.
I don't want to be this edgy, but, I didn't got my Diploma because i Had troubles with three teachers.
This will sound all made up, but here I go:
-My Chemistry teacher didn't allowed me to present my tests. He was an asshole with me. He always humiliated me for not talking with anyone, even though I had at least 7 girlfriends who I was with all the 4 semesters we were together. Besides I Had some male friends too. But fucking idiot. He always made everyone laugh at me in the classes. I honestly didn't cared about it as I was used to be THAT GUY who's always quiet, with good grades that everyone makes fun of for being a "nerd"
Then I won a Literature Contest held Nationally by my school and this asshole in class said things like: "Oh I just cant believe a guy like you won. Oh someone else deserved to win. Look at you, weird, quiet, with headphones all the time, You're nothing and this won't make you better"
I felt all my class mates looking at me at that moment.
-My English teacher was her daughter. I know fluent English since I was 11. And my teacher wasn't. So I was always reminding her words that she couldn't remember, or correcting her for her bad translations. Once she told me: "I want you to shut up in my classes. You've proven you're far more advanced than your room mates, so shut up"
-My Biology teacher was the Spouse of my Chemistry teacher and the mom of my English teacher: She was nice with me. She was the kind of teacher that speaks loud and screams when no one listened to her. Once she helped me with my grades, because she told me that it was unfair for me to fail my grades for missing classes. The fact I missed classes was due to health problems, serious ones.
Thanks to my fucking Chemistry teacher, I couldn't get my diploma. He gave me a "W", a "W" in the Highschool I went meant that I was so bad at that Class (chemistry) that I had to repeat the whole semester thanks to that failed class.
Of course, we spoke with the director, and he did nothing.
At that time my family and I had financial problems, so bad that we had to sell everything in our house, we almost got evicted, and we didn't ate but twice per week, sometimes once per week.
I couldn't pay to repeat the semester thanks to that asshole.
My health problems got stronger (heart disease) for not eating, and that put me in bed for months.
Then I tried to repeat the semester once we were a little better and I found out that I got kicked out from school. Literally, I wasn't registered there anymore. My grades became un existent. So I had to repeat Highschool yet again.
Of course, I fucking didn't. Got to work on my own, learnt Japanese, French, a bit of Portuguese, Italian, Russian and German.
This is exactly what I want to avoid with my children. I want them to be safe from wasting time, money, and in my case, waste and loss my health thanks to an asshole who thought it'd be funny to make fun of me.
