Here’s some context first: I was in form having a mental breakdown on y10 mock week.
My form tutor came up to me and said “it’s only stress, stress is good for u”
So being the dumb little sh*t that I am, I didn’t talk to anyone about my stress for weeks, now I’ve been diagnosed with severe anxiety and I can’t stay in lessons because of stress because I have become so overwhelmed by everything and I’m not allowed to move forms.

"just stop thinking about them" - referring to my friends who've died.
When I have experienced something unpleasant and people say "it is what it is" to try and help me get over it. Gosh I hate that phrase with a passion.

He never thinks before he speaks. He’s homophobic, sexist and racist and drinks 2 cans of monster energy for his breakfast in form. I’m not as bad now as I was after talking to my head of year but I’m still not allowed to change forms.

As cringe as it sounds, I do not like that mentality.


yh thar saying is bad in a sense that u should not limit yourself in what u can achieve

I feel great. And by independence, I mean leaving my home country to study abroad, alone.
