I went to this school a few years ago, went to professional therapy and i still have intense trauma from this hellish place. Most of the boys (around 7 of them) kept persistently bullying me bc i have a rather large nose and i had rly bad acne (despite over 80% of them there having worse conditions). I told the counselor and she told me that 'they must have bad lives at home' and to 'give them a chance'. When i did give them a second chance despite hesitant, they just kept harassing me by now calling my name in the middle of class and pretending they didn't say anything when I was working on my work. The art teacher was even crueler. A particular time in the art class, there was a prompt to draw anything we wanted so I drew Twilight Sparkle from my little pony. When she came over and looked at it, she said "no! That's not how you draw a horse! This is how you draw a horse!" And proceeded to literally erase my drawing and drew on top of it with 'correct anatomy' despite me telling her what I was doing. Some other students could draw cartoons too bc she didn't point it out to them. Since then, I've had rly bad anxiety and constant long-term burnout and it's rly hard to maintain long-term relationships of every kind. I would tell the principal every time something bad happened and she said that she'd handle it but there was never any change (the boys kept bullying me, the art teacher kept insulting my art skills (which were decent enough for a middle schooler since i drew a lot). overall i had the worst, traumatic 5 years if my entire life and i nearly killed myself especially in 7th grade bc they kept piling homework on me and i kept failing classes bc nothing was done about the bullying, insulting or my insane homework. I'm soo glad i moved to Branson to finish my education and i hope to never have to see this place or its pple again in my entire life
