It course was a "Christian" academy. It was far worse than public school. I got picked on for my weight because I was a heavy kid back then. I finally had enough and snapped on one of the kids and slammed the fuckers head into a locker. Course they threatened to use corporal punishment on me and my mom went up there to raise hell about them doing nothing about the bullying and that if they touched me or hurt me as a punishment, she would sue to school. But it wasn't long before she pulled me out and just homeschooled me.

School is shit because schools are huge fucking (word I will not use here) and are afraid of taking action.
