Bullying by students and teachers. The principle will not do anything about.
1 10/10/2025
The school didn't care what happened to me as long as it didn't affect them in any way. Certain teachers cared but only to a point. The upper management made me sign papers saying that if I killed myself it wasn't their fault.
