My school experience wasn't the best here at Butler high school. I was severely bullied and my mental health wasn't the best. Most teachers let the other kids bully you and some don't and the principal has favorites and treats the rest of us like we aren't good enough. I don't really have good memories here but I do have a very good friend with me and I experienced different things that help me approve as a person myself.

I understand that all the teachers are not teaching in the the area of their education or have yet received their certifcates. Let us spend more money on salaries...
