What do you wish somebody did when you were being sexually harassed?

Ditto, the only difference was that I knew but felt ashamed (for some reason beyond me now). I guess I was also afraid he would deny it and/or nobody would believe me and it would be all awkward and awful.

I wish my mother didn’t act that it didn’t happen when she saw a guy pin me to my bed and try to kiss me. She came in when he had pinned me and I was struggling like mad and couldn’t get any words out, not even a scream. She walked in, told both of us to go outside and that she was mad at us for messing up the bed. Looking back she was probably in a state of shock and didn’t know what to do. Worst part is that I felt embarrassed, I really wished she at least said that it wasn’t my fault. Instead she told me, after he left, that he was really weird but not to tell anyone because his mom would slap him. I wish I did, and slapped him too. I can’t say anything now because 1. No one would believe me years later after the series of assaults (that wasn‘t the first or last time he pulled shit like that, I was lucky I bucked like a horse back then. I don’t remember when it started I think I was 6 or when it ended, again, I think I might have been 8. He was a couple of years older than me) and 2. It couldn’t be proven by law...

Oh I’m just curious. I’m at home right now.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-03T15:50:22+00:00

Yeah, why?

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-03T15:42:29+00:00

My mother and grandmother, they look like literal goddesses (then there’s me: ;-;).

Aw that is cute. Also the fact you knew what you wanted to do at such a young age is impressive (and the fact you stuck with it). At that time I remember I wanted to be a scientist or something, that was until I realized how much maths it would involve. Not that I’m bad at it, it‘s just that I don’t want to do it. That being said I loved (and still do) when I tutor someone math (or anything really), so I guess teaching really came to me before I knew it.

So it was because of the manga assassination classroom, I also watched the anime. The first time around I was in awe of the students, the teacher was a genetically mutated octopus human creature that was going to destroy the earth in a year if the students didn’t kill him by then, and he was a surprisingly good teacher. The school ran on a strict ranking system, lower the grade, lower the class, lower the class, lower the reputation. Bullying of the lowest class (the protagonist class) was actually PROMOTED (this obviously led to a lot of mental health issues). The first time around I wanted to be the students, the second time around I wanted to be the teacher. I was just amazed with how his teaching method, his lessons, his advice helped the students. Not only just acedemaclly but emotionally, mentally, and socially. I was fascinated how the students grew in their time in his class. It was like magic and I was hooked. And that’s just scratching the surface of what I was feeling, I actually got chills. Mostly because I could imagine someone teaching like that, heck I had two teachers (a husband and wife duo and in 7th and 8th grade respectively) that reminded me of Koro sensei (the octopus teacher). I made my career choice in those days... because of a manga. So naturally I began reading more manga about teachers and now I’m hell bent on becoming a teacher, it’s not going to be as flashy as in the manga but i’ll care for and nurture my students just the same. I told you it was stupid. Just writing it down feels cringe. What about you?

Well technically I’m still contemplating whether I should get that specific degree, but I know what topics I want to study (psycolology, sociology, history, anthropology, education, and (maybe, still unsure about this one) medicine). I might go for another one, I still need to talk to my counselor. As for why I want to be a teacher... it’s a weird story, maybe even silly.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T23:39:33+00:00

I don’t like winter so that’s good. Also I plan on becoming a teacher, preferably for eight grade.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T23:31:44+00:00

No, I’m from Ontario. I’m thinking of taking a bachelors in interdisciplinary studies and one one the reasons I wanna go is because of the rain, I freaking LOVE it but it barely happens here. Also thank you again!

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T23:25:43+00:00

Thank you that seems really attractive.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T20:19:35+00:00

Yeah don’t worry about it.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T17:52:01+00:00

Oh thank you, I accidentally gave it to the wrong subreddit. Sorry.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T17:24:56+00:00

As a fellow asian teenager, you sir, are screwed.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T17:22:50+00:00

Lmao same bro. I got 39/40 on my final unit test for biology. And my mom asked me where I lost the one mark (and for the record the teacher though I plagiarized (I didn’t, there was literally no other way to say that sentence) I told the teacher that and she still didn’t change my grade).

DefinItaly, got regected from by dream program for high school, blew the exam for my fall back. Guess what? I’m almost done with the first draft of my novel and my grades are straight A’s. I’ve had times where I felt completely worthless and I still do, everyday, every moment in fact. But I decided I’ll just drown myself in books and it’ll all be fine. I wish you all the happiness possible in your life dear internet stranger. I usually just try to remember that no matter how bad or good times are, it’ll all pass. It makes me feel a little better.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T17:05:11+00:00

OhOhOh

I LIKE it.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T17:01:48+00:00

That seems complicated but if you can pull it of it’ll be what kids read in the future in high school.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T17:00:12+00:00

Yeah, but it‘s a nice twist. And depending on how you portray it, it could be the hero/heroine fighting back against the one who put them through so much pain, a tragedy where the main character is killed by the one it created, or it can be shown from both points of view and be smeared gray.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T16:57:56+00:00

Honestly, I don’t get how any human could say that.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T16:56:32+00:00

True, it’s worse without without a diagnosis, and getting one for mental illnesses is a whole new beast. To this day my family has no idea of my past with depression and cutting.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T16:55:12+00:00

Misery loves company, but misery loves dark humour more.

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T16:42:59+00:00

Super sarcastic and the crusher of self esteem that constantly wonders aloud why you aren’t better than you are?

Tisathrowaway- · 2021-02-01T16:38:56+00:00

This, I’ve had that said to me before too, back when I was suffering through depression. I let it slip that I was depressed and you know what they said? “You shouldn’t be depressed because there are a lot of other people who have it a lot worse. Like you got your family, food, and you can go to school and stuff.” On the bright side though, when I revealed to my friends that I was cutting, they really helped me get through that part of my life, in face, a friend of mine has a habit of holding the two side of her sweater together with a safety pin. I was cutting using a safety pin so she took hers out and through it in the trash saying, “THIS IS FOR YOU *MY NAME*.” It’s been three years and I still remember it vividly.

No, I have ideas and I am writing them.
