Some teachers are absolute disgraces to their industry, and all they want is the money. They usually use the argument of 'I love being able to have an impact on your future' when they are challenged...when in reality they mean 'I love being able to have a negative impact on your future'...

I apologise if my first sentence offended you, but it is different now. The people who come from areas which in comparison to mine, aren't nice, they rule the school now...if you stand up for yourself, you have 4 angry bitches telling you to kill yourself...amongst other things...

I could list more and more points, but it all comes down to the following:

My school life consists of walking in, hoping the day goes by without anyone targeting me, and then walk out hate-free. Unfortunately, my tutor group is ruled by 4 slutty scruffy girls who come to school looking like prostitutes - and disrupt the class as a result. We lose valuable time in our education all due to them, and people who have stood up for themselves and others, their life ends when they do so...

What you describe is exactly how school-life was back in my day (and possibly how it was for everybody else on the forum).

I went to a Catholic School (shouldn't be hard to guess which one) where, at the time, I was the only person without any sort of religion. I was once told by somebody my existence was essentially worthless because I wasn't either baptised or christened. 

Because I came from a 'poor' background, I was mocked because I didn't wear Naff-Naff or McKenzie (believe it or not - both were big brands in the early 90s) clothing or sported Adidas Torsion or the latest Reebok Pumps. As far as I can recall, I was always 'scruffy', but in my defence, I was a kid who used to get up mischief on their way to/from school. 

Schools have always been ruled by cliques. I was lucky enough to be on the fringes of one when I was at school but I've still witnessed my fair share of bullying and violence to students who are not as lucky. There will always be disruptive students and girls who choose to dress, in your words, like prostitutes.

Nothing's changed.
