I put up with this ***** too. For four years in a public HS that shall henceforth be known as Azkaban. I had guidance counselors tell me I should not go to college. (I yelled at him when he said that and said you only snuff potential because you're stuck in this hell hole with a bunch of knuckle-draggers.) I'm going to a very well respected all women's college in a few weeks. I cried when I walked because I'll never have to see these people again. THANK THE LORD! (Did I mention I was officially uninvited from a party that my "friends" were throwing and invited me?)<div><br></div><div>Get the picture?</div><div><br></div><div>so, some advice:</div><div>-Go to the BR during the MIDDLE of the period. And NOT the main bathroom. Even if it's farther from the classroom. I mean, the snickering and looks you get in the BR are enough to make someone want to crawl into a hole and die. So yeah. Or, the nurse's office. Honestly, when you're on antibiotics, sometimes that is the best way to save your dignity. </div><div><br></div><div>-What your bio teacher did. There are a few words for that. One is immoral. The other is illegal. I personally have always been so open with my CF that this was never an issue for me. But a teacher has NO RIGHT whatsoever (legally) to share that information without your consent. (My graduation project was something I'd already done three years prior- giving a presentation about CF to the Anatomy and Physiology classes) Frankly, I'm angry at this teacher for you. </div><div><br></div><div>- Boys. Never having had a boyfriend myself, I don't have too much advice to offer. </div><div><br></div><div>-As for that particular school. I wouldn't put much faith in what your doctor says in this particular area. Most of the pulmonologists I've seen went to school before the world was in color- when they used slates and slate pencils- when dinosaurs walked the earth (okay not really) but... I might look into it if there is a charter/magnet school you could transfer to. And as for not chasing the teacher...... how much did that teacher pay him to say that? Damn. I've never heard a doctor say to ignore something like that. It's like saying ignore it when you cough up pints of blood. Yeah.</div><div><br></div><div>You'll survive. You'll get through it. I really didn't think I would, but as a member of the class of 2011 I'm proof that miracles do happen. </div><div><br></div><div>So, as one famous newscaster like to put it, </div><div>good night, </div><div>and good luck.</div>
