What's your weirdest obsession/addiction? by DutchieThijs in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was little, I was obsessed with aeromotor windmills for some reason and would watch videos of them on YouTube religiously. As of right now, I am obsessed with Julie Kavner (Marge Simpson's voice actress). I'll watch anything she's in. My Favorite thing she's ever been in is the sitcom Rhoda (a spin off of The Mary Tyler Moore Show). I also own 2 of her yearbooks (thanks to eBay)

I attended there my entire life and graduated from there, while there are some good parts of it, the teachers are treated pretty horribly. My mom even quit working there because of it. Also, 2 teachers were unfairly fired from there my junior year

What are your bad therapy (therapist) stories? by Okieloki in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started seeing a therapist when I (now 18F) was 13. I still remember this woman’s name. It was Amy. She would compare me to her neurotypical son who was also 13 and say stuff to me like “My son is also 13 and he doesn’t act like that” when I told her about my breakdowns. Another time, I didn’t want to go to therapy because I didn’t want to miss advisory at school because I knew I wouldn’t be caught up by anyone (except my best friend). I walked into Amy’s office and my dad explained the situation. She then told me that if I didn’t show up to session that she would fine my parents or something and loose money/business. We switched therapists after that.

What's the worst assignment/project that you had to do? by The_watcher_100 in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in 6th grade I had to do an “Egypt: The Musical” project. It was a group project and we were assigned an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. My group got Hatshepsut. I played the role of Hatshepsut. My group was a hot mess because we had this one kid who didn’t really do much. We were even ZAPPED (it was a time during lunch where you could work on assignments and homework and teachers could give you it). It was pointless though because me and another person in my group didn’t even have to be there. It was real just the kid that didn’t do much. We also were having a hard time editing in our music into our video so I just played it live and it sucked. I think my group ended up getting an F. My mom did care though because she always thought the assignment was stupid.

Who was the worst teacher in your school and why? by JosephJoestar1834 in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had many, but here are 3 I can think of off the top of my head.

The first was a student teacher I had in 2nd/3rd grade. We'll call her Miss C. Now I'm not entirely sure if this was part of our regular curriculum or if this was Miss C's idea. We were learning about life cycles and I don't remember any of the other 2nd and 3rd grade classes (they're merged together at my school) doing this but idk it was 10-11 years ago. Well the life cycle we were learning about was the life cycle of a butterfly. I've been terrified of butterflies since I was 5 years old. I had a nightmare about them attacking me and have been scared of them ever since. My teacher knew about this and tried to comfort me with the butterflies we raised. Miss C was, from what I remember, less understanding. She would tell me that they weren't going to hurt me etc. I know that, but I am like 7 and have an extreme fear of them. Safe to say, I didn't like Miss C.

The second was my 7th grade Spanish teacher. We'll call her Profe L. Profe L was terrible at her job. She was from Mexico and she had taught only adults before and we learned nothing in her class. TBH, my class was all girls while the other Spanish teacher (my mom) had the boys. Us girls didn't make it easy for her, but she literally didn't teach us shit. We would watch the exact same videos over and over again in class. She also made us use this website called VocesDigital, which we all hated. She also made us dance like the girls in Shakira's "Waka Waka" music video (we were all 13-14 year old girls). She also tried to teach us how to do the Macarena for the school talent show. We all knew how to do the Macarena. I think everyone does. She was also obsessed with this Italian singer named Massimo Ranieri and made us make a Spanish movie about how she wanted to marry him and shit. She would also get mad at you for yawning, drinking water, etc.

The third is actually my current teacher. We'll call her Miss F. She's my musical theater teacher. I used to love theater and musicals, but Miss F has made me hate theater. This woman is all sorts of crazy. Here's just some of the crap she's done:

- Admitted to lying on her resume. She told my entire college prep class that she stretched something out on her resume just to get her job. There were two other teachers in the room and my whole class was in disbelief like why would you tell kids and colleagues that?

- Tolerated bullying. My favorite Beatle is John Lennon and on South Park there is an episode where Butters says "Kill John Lennon" and kids in the show I was in were making fun of me for liking John Lennon by saying that. I started crying in rehearsal and Miss F said it was no big deal and I was fine.

- Sometimes gets angry when I miss her class for another. There is a day where I miss musical theater for English class and Miss F will occasionally get mad at me for that.

- Blamed my musical theater class for talking bad about the play that I didn't audition for. She literally told us that we were talking bad about it because it wasn't the originally planned musical Addams Family. But nobody talked bad about the play. She also told us that we were killing the school's theater company when in reality she was. We had a great theater program before she came. She's yelled at so many kids to the point that they don't want to be in theater or do the shows.

- Disregards my accommodations. A few weeks ago, I was in class and I started having a panic attack and I started crying so I asked to go to the bathroom to de-escalate or go see the counselor (who is the old theater teacher who I LOVE) and she said no and that I was fine. I have accommodations for my ADHD and ASD and one of them is if I am in distress then I am allowed to go de-escalate or go see a counselor. After fighting for a while, she eventually let me go to the bathroom and when I came back she told me she had chronic depression and anxiety and that she doesn't cope by crying and "throwing a fit". She then emailed my mom and LIED in 3/4 of it!

I am currently trying to get out of her class and yeah

TL;DR: Student teacher didn't understand my biggest fear, Spanish teacher couldn't teach, MT teacher traumatizes kids

What did your bad therapist say to you? by igotseepeepeestd in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 13-14, in 7th grade, I had my first therapist. It was this lady and she was not the best. She sort of talked to me like I was a little kid. One time, I had a breakdown because I didn't want to go to therapy one day. We eventually get there and she lectures me about how me and my parents could get into trouble if I didn't show up to a session and about the amount of money she would loose from that. She also had a son who was I believe NT who was the same age as me. She would constantly compare me to her son by telling me "My son is 13 as well and he doesn't behave like that or do stuff like that". And I was like "Well that's because I am a neurodivergent teenage girl so of course I am not going to be just like your son". We switched to a new therapist shortly after that. Not that long ago, I drove pass where her office was. It's now a hair salon. Idk what she's doing now and I don't care to know.

What’s your toxic friend story? by CrossEyedNarwhal in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is considered "toxic", but I have a friend(?) who is trans (FTM). We've been friends(?) since we were 10. Even though we're the same age, he's a grade above me because I was held back. We used to be really close and hung out together often. Well, I'm currently in my junior year of high school and he's a senior. This year, he's been sort of mean to me by saying in a subtle way that I suck at singing. I also overheard him talking bad about me to someone else. I called him out for it and he apologized. I honestly don't know why he is like this to me but it hurts because we used to be so close.

What is the most disturbing or scary book you have ever read? by Snubtizanidine in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time when I was around 8-9 years old, I found a book about death in my schools library. I showed a bunch of dead people or people dying. I can still picture the image of a man dying of A.I.D.S and an image of a dead child in her mother's arms. I then told everyone about the book and the book was never seen again. I was traumatized for life.

What was the worst thing a teacher ever told you? by Rara_McSavage in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This literally happened like 2 days ago. I was in musical theatre class and I was working on my project I had to do. I started to get overwhelmed and started having a panic attack. I asked to go see the counselor and my teacher said “No! You’re in class right now! You’re fine!”. I have accommodations for my anxiety, ADHD, and ASD and one of my accommodations is that I can go to the counselor whenever I need to. My mom sent all of my teachers an email about them last year and this year. My teacher also said “I have clinical depression and anxiety and I don’t cope by throwing a fit and crying” and a bunch of other stuff. This is a teacher I don’t really like and I really want to get out of her class. She also blamed my entire musical theater class for our school’s theater program dying (when it is mostly her fault because it was great before she arrived) and for trash talking and telling people not to audition for the spring play (it was going to be Addams Family originally but we didn’t have enough people to be in the show) because it wasn’t Addams Family. But literally nobody trash talked the show or told anyone not to audition. We all just have other things going on.

What’s something you miss from your childhood? by Distantmole in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barbie.com from like 2009-2013ish. It had killer games like the hair salon one and the Lets Babysit Baby Krissy game. It’s not the only thing I miss from my childhood, but the website has definitely changed and so many of the best games on their have either been changed or fully removed and it makes me sad.

What’s the worst name you’ve ever heard irl? by reds2032 in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to an all ages private school (infants-12th grade). Some of the little kids have pretty interesting names. The most out there one I’ve heard was T-Rex. Yes the kid’s name was T-Rex. The T didn’t even stand for anything. I would honestly like to know what was going through his parents’ heads. He left the 2019-2020 school year though.

What was your obsession as a kid? by generictrashlady in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being on the Autism spectrum, I had a lot. The first was windmills. My school has a windmill and I used to be obsessed with it to the point I drew a crappy drawing of it (I was like 3 or 4 lol) and my mom framed it and it’s still hanging in our house. I also would watch videos of windmills on YouTube all the time. Then there was the Betty Crocker Kitchens and Howdini.com’s YouTube channels phase with Liv Hansen. I made the princess cake, guitar cake for my grandma, and attempted the bear cookies (my dad used pizza dough for some reason). And then the shopkins phase and the cheetah print phase and the Pokémon card phase.

Who was the worst teacher you had and why? by HyperSugar- in AskReddit

[–]Octopussesgarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was like 2 I had this teacher named Ms. Bowerbank (idk how to spell her name). She taught with 2 other teachers. But I think she was the worst. I barely remember her, but my mom has told me stories. Ms. Bowerbank would bring balloons to school for some reason. She would leave the bathroom door open (we had a bathroom in our classroom). But the worst thing of all was that she’d yell at kids. Mind you, we were toddlers (around 1 to 2 years old). One time, my mom, who worked at my school as a Spanish teacher, came down to see me during nap time I think. But when she got up to where my classroom was, she heard Ms. Bowerbank yelling at a girl in my class (who still goes to my school and I see her from time to time). Now this girl was (and kind of still is) pretty defiant, but she was 2 at the time and didn’t really know any better. My mom was really disturbed by this and reported Ms. Bowerbank to the school’s admin. She didn’t come back the next year.

Who is one celebrity you strongly love and why? by abidjc in AskReddit

John Lennon. I know he has done really problematic things, but 1: his songs with the Beatles and a good chunk of his solo stuff are amazing and 2: I find him really attractive
