I'm back in Night School again this year but this time it's by choice because I need to make up credits. Well, I hate it because the boys and girls are separated and I hate sitting in the girls classroom and watching the boys go into there classes because I keep thinking "I should be in that class" and imagining what it would be like if I was a bio guy. I know that sounds retarded but the little things upset me. On my first day there some girl asked me if I was a girl and the teacher says "Yeah! She's a girl" I like this teacher cause he gives me the answers and today he gave me 75 cents to get a bag of chips out of the vending machine but ugh, I wanted to slap him. Then the girl said "But she looks like a guy...I mean she doesn't have any boobs or anything!" and then she shut up because the teachers in the room threatened to write her up for sexual harassment and yelled at her for a bit. And then my friends where I lived knew I was Trans and they always called me "he" but now they're calling me "she." Will things get easier when I'm out of school?

There is school, and there is the real world where people have to make a living and get on with others or else.


Karen.

Is that the 'real world' where you have to meet expectations or else?  Where almost every boss you're going to have - for at least the first couple of decades - is going to have a 'my way or the highway' thing going on?

Depends on where you are I guess. But adults have nothing on teenagers for being judgemental.
Karen.

that sucks, i hate people.

I dropped out and got my GED. Worked for me. Wasn't willing to put up with my "peers" anymore.
There is school...and there is the real world....as was said above...yes, you have bosses in the real world, but you're also an adult once you get out there in that world and as you make a life for yourself and have the freedom to do so....it gets easier.

I found after I got out of high school it did get a little easier. People quit making fun of me for looking masculine. I think people are probably more concerned with their own lives. I also find maybe people mature more? I don't know. I don't think I could've done this in high school, though.
