I despised school... Rampant bullying that was never effectively dealt with in the long term, sexual abuse, lack of privacy (male PE teacher walking through the girls changing room while I was getting changed - and they accused me of having a crush on [big]him[/big]. I wasn't walking through the boys changing rooms when he was getting changed.
Sometimes, there's little you can do to make school more enjoyable - at least, no one did for me anyway.

@HootyTheNightOwl You should have reported the gym teacher to the Sheriff.
@NativePortlander1970 Oh, I told my mother, but nobody cared at the time...
Nobody even cared that this same gym teacher could have busted a pupil who was raping and sexually abusing other pupils.
By the time that I went to the head to stop it... there were 30 known children across two year groups that had been raped or abused by this guy - all in school time and all on school property.
The school couldn't even decide if they were responsabile because some of my assaults happened in the school hall at the end of the day (after school club - with no supervision provided for pupils who remained on school premises)... and during lunch break - despite the fact that we were locked in and could only run so far to escape being abused.

@HootyTheNightOwl Then if the county sheriff refused to act, your mother should have notified the state police and state education department, that's how most schools get busted when the locals refuse to act.
