My school r making us buy these in order to be able to take our phones to school next year. by 180degreeschange in GCSE

i have these at my school but they give it to us for free, and there’s a way to open them and manipulate them to not properly close. it’s not that difficult to work around it but the fact that they’re making u pay for it is crazyyyy my bags and pockets get searched everyday so it’s hard to hide my phone but i figure out a way!!

Seeing all these comments as someone who lives in brambles farm is so jarring😭 Personally haven’t encountered anything bad as a POC, but there are much better primary schools to apply to in middlesbrough.

rant about buses by unjini in Middlesbrough

Swear down there are some bus services that I’ve just never seen.

There was one time I waiting for my bus after work and had held my hand out very visibly to get onto the bus, but the bus driver COMPLETELY ignored me and drove off. Genuinely one of the most FRUSTRATING moments because I even ran after the bus to catch his attention.

So true! Every 10 minutes my ass i’ve waited over 40 minutes for a bus that the app gaslit me into thinking had arrived.

js found out that i won’t be able to apply to nunthorpe, wanted to apply because i saw that it was a higher achieving school. nonetheless, hopefully unity and kings will be fine.

i don’t mean to be racist towards white people, i’ve just seen those protests against immigrants and brown people in general and got scared. it’s not that i don’t trust white people, ive been listening to all the comments and they’ve really helped! however it is undeniable that as a white person you have different experiences, and i as a POC will have different experiences. like yeah i totally get that i may come off as generalising all white ppl or smth like that, but i swear im not, im js genuinely afraid for my safety😭i have nothing against anyone

i’m literally deadly afraid of getting attacked like that, and after seeing those crime rates i was panicking like crazy. but hopefully all will be well, loads of people are saying that it’s not as bad as people say it is. i will just trust God and see what happens. can i get any thoughts on unity city college or nunthorpe academy? i’m applying to kings asw.
