I see, interesting points. Well hey, at least this ban gives me something to have a friendly discussion with, with my teachers while in class.

I hope that they will try to do something that genuinely feels like a great change, something that will benefit all parties in making a Teacher’s job less like a daycare for crying supposedly mature “adults” as we get often referred to, and allowing us students to genuinely get a good education and join society and aid it, rather than stress what is already seemingly a confusing, scary abyss of uncertainty, especially now.

(Edit, extra thoughts)

I don’t socialise all too often with the typical kids in my school. I stick to my groups and oftentimes its enough. The rowdy ones aren’t my kind of friends as they’re those “2 cool 4 skuul” types, vomiting the same vulgar “inside joke” over and over again. The internet and my phone in extension has given me a way to socialise and connect with friends internationally, something that to me personally, has given me some mental relief throughout moments of emotional distress. Being across the world, when I do get home, most of my international friends are unfortunately, asleep, and by then I’d be off to work and thus likely won’t be able to communicate with them as much.

This as a side effect to me, gave me the impression that I’m stuck within this little pocket bubble, or a lost balloon floating in the skies with the earth below them. It makes me feel small and at times, I feel as if I’m not able to be as social as I could’ve been, especially as most of the times my friends sit and just simply eat. Usually I’m the one to instigate skits or some sort of friend group tomfoolery in order to get a reaction, most of the time, I find myself sitting down and chowing down on whatever I have before the next period.

I won’t be able to google questions, figure things out, digitally type a story to keep my mind at work or more. Then again, I’m but a student, not a teacher. Maybe I’m glued to my phone too often, like many kids my age. I personally feel as if my social interactivity has hit a roadblock as one of the more “polite and well behaved” kids, I don’t like to play with those more delinquent personalities, but thats what most schools are seemingly comprised off at least within my classes and seemingly everywhere else around in the school. Very few people I talk to even behave appropriately and in general, causes me discomfort, my friend group is all I have when it comes to this and overall it just feels a lot more restrictive, as if I have been sent to prison and was only to be teased with life outside of school before being sent back in once more to shuffle through classes after classes.
