Yeah that would be great - There are a few teachers I'd love to hit across the head with a hammer.

My IT teacher is absolutely fantastic. I've often had issues within the lesson with other students, and she's the only teacher who's managed to calm me down, and the only one who cares about me. While I may not look annoyed, I am. She deals with the problems in a discreet way, and usually talks to be out in the corridor or in a different room about what's happened, and she's the only teacher as of yet who has took the bullying seriously. She often talks to me about football too (as she is a big footy fan) and often makes me feel better within the lesson. What all teachers should be like in my opinion.

I take my ticket book into school everyday, I was surprised at how people took to my hobby as well. Also, my best friend Rhys was born with severe brain damage, but got a lucky escape with his autism as fortunately he can speak, unlike many unfortunate, trapped, autistic people. We do everything together, and people see me as a good person for the way I care about his well-being (it's a bit like Del Boy and Rodney from Only Fools) and how he is seen in society. It's not that I try to make it look like a good deed, I genunily do care about Rhys, otherwise he wouldn't be my best friend. One kid was impersonating his lisp one time in an English lesson, so I fired a water bottle at his head.

People constantly ask to see how my collection's coming on, even some of the crummy, corrupt teachers. I suppose I am quite fortunate. To be honest, it's not like I 'came out of the closit' about buses and marched into tutor one day like I was about to announce my sexuality; people just began to notice my keen interest in the subject and things gradually sprung from there. I've never been bullied about it, and hopefully never will.
