4/18/2023

learning is fun with the right people and environment- 8/10 fitting in can be hard with the right people but even those people can be pushy- 5/10 admin stopping problems if you report it-5/10 having fun at school-6 1/2-10 being supported by teachers/admin- 8/10 being supported by the students- 4/10 being safe-7/10 all because it wouldn't be great sometimes but it can also be really bad especially when you're doing good and they bring up bad things you've done or judge you because you don't have the best grades 2/5 stars
