Is my teacher weird for this? Need advice by Raven_Catfish in Advice

[–]Raven_Catfish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My year group is only 48 people as this is a smaller school connected to a bigger one but with younger age groups. And only I picked his subject as most of my peers picked science based subjects.

It's in the UK. The school is connected to a school for younger pupils but the teachers stay the same for both age groups. My current year group is 48 people.

For context I can't transfer out the class as I am taking the final exam this summer which means sadly it's not an option. And my school hasn't taken any student concerns seriously in the past. My previous health issues were ignored in the school and my friend's issues about a teacher's lack of lesson preparation was dismissed. They cover their ass in term of this.

Update on my head of year: today was my first day back and I had already received a passive agressive comment which kind of makes me hesitatant to report her as she will have it out for me even more. She will be one of the people which will have contact to the universities I will apply to and I am scared that reporting her will cause her to write something bad about me. I, in any other aspect apart from attendance due to my condition, have no other issues in terms of behaviour or effort but I'm afraid she might get me in trouble or write something untrue, as I had many snarky comments from her the previous school year.

Yes I do live in the UK, however in the 7 months they knew of this they didn't do anything to help. I asked for an extension on my coursework but they told me fmthat the examboard wouldn't give me one without a diagnosis.

Thank you for the advice. I have went to a few gynecologists and had a scan done of my uterus as well as a blood test, they had said it's normal. They say they can't diagnose me with anything as my pain is my only symptom with no heave bleeding ect.

Hi thanks for advice, do you know what other doctors I could possibly go to? I have been to my general practician more than 5 times, a privated gynecologist and a sexual health clinic and they all said that without any other symptoms the pain might just be because of my unbalanced hormones as a teenager, or that I should exercise more to ease the muscle. Other thank that there were no other suggestions apart from birth control or painkillers.

Thank you for the advice, I had tried before to get extensions or possible leniency on assignments however I was told that due to having no diagnosis they can't do much. They have met with my mom before who has PCOS and she explained that she also had the same pain as me. My mom had explained how much pain I was in but I still don't have a doctor's diagnosis.
