HERE'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH SCHOOLS ROUND HERE!!

I suffer from severe learning problems. I am unable to understand even the simplest concepts of mathematics and chemistry, I have to re-read everything in English and History 5 to 6 times, and I don't have an attention span. In other words, I'm screwed for life. As if that weren't bad enough, I live in a friendly lil place where learning impaired people are offered zero help, and instead are expected to struggle all by their stupid selves. The school that I'm at right now is being especially rank towards me. I go down to the office to tell the school counsellor that I'm having trouble, and she told me that it would be better if I just dropped the classes instead of bothering anyone. So now I'm barely even at the school, I'm at home more often...and let me tell you, this really doesn't make my parents happy. There wasn't anything I could do about it though, I swear I tried. I asked the secretary if she could give me a form so that I could switch from math and chemistry into classes that I can do--like phys.ed and psychology for example. All she told me was that it was too late to change classes and I should have done it earlier in the year (which was really an unusual thing for her to say considering that it was only TWO days into the new semester!) Now here's what really gets me mad...the other day two students show up in my work education class yesterday, nearly a month into the semeter! How fair is that? They get to switch classes, but I'm not even though I asked way before them. AAAAAAAH, I was ready to fly off the handle right then and there :/ I'm not even sure if I'm going to continue attending this school that I'm at right now. My mom said she wants to put me in this other school for people like me, but honestly I don't know if I'd like doing that. It's far from where I live, and I won't have any friends there and I doubt I will be able to make any because I have social anxiety disorder and I don't talk to other teens. Seriously though, what is wrong with our schools? Don't our teachers and staff know how to do their job anymore, or are they even dumber than I am--figure it out! All I want is a little bit of help, it would be nice to actually graduate from high school...it's kinda of a umm goal of mine. I've gone to a child and youth service program and asked what they could do but they said it costs a small fortune to get tutoring programs...like I have that kind of money right now. Geez, who's helping these people with learning problems?! Because right now it seems like no one even cares at all. Let's just demolish education programs. What's the point anyway? All people want grades for is to get a good job later on so they can show off how much richer they are than everyone else...this world is retarded.

I hate everything.
