<p>I don’t know if anyone else is like this, but I really despise extra attention (more like attention to begin with). So I am a junior and the year isn’t pretty bad for me. I just get tuned out at times because I find some things that we are learning quite boring and the teacher only goes about solving a problem one way. I know I am stupid, but I have talked to my friends about how much I dislike the education system and how much I despise homework; I guess I am loud when I get into an argumentative state. However, I have found that teachers are acting really weird. My maths teacher is like always watching me (I sit in the back) and rarely picks on me in stats and pre-calc because he thinks I am stupid; I mostly raise my hand when nobody else wants to, and even then he is looking for these try-hards who suck to answer because they gave off a fabulous impression during the first few weeks. My English teacher is amazing and everything, I am definitely one of her best students, yet she is always giving me a cautious eye and giving me worried looks while addressing the entire class. I participate, so leave me alone. My history teacher is ALWAYS staring at me. He is really nice and he is my favorite person ever, but I don’t want his sympathy. Why can’t he just leave me alone, I am normal. I am the only one who gets his references to movies and whatnot, and I genuinely enjoy his class, can he not tell that I am having a great time? But no, since I am so weird he has to look directly at me while addressing the ENTIRE class and in the halls, he always says “hi” first with this nod. My physics teacher legitimately thinks I am not okay. In the hallway, where everyone could hear him, he was legit like “Hey what’s up kiddo? Are you okay?” and I was utterly shocked, why would he ask this, of course I am okay, naturally I responded calmly. But he would not buy it. I talk to him sometimes about astrophysics and I emphasize how much I hate busywork and the education system. Physics is life to me, but I sometimes get frustrated with the homework because…well it is boring for AP. I am just that loser that was ready to learn about Hawking radiation on day 1. My language teacher ALWAYS asks me if I am alright and they do not get upset with me when I miss an assignment here and there. I want to be yelled at. I want to stop being asked if I am alright because all it does is make question whether or not I am a complete mess. I think I am just going to start becoming an overachiever so they can all leave me alone. I hate walking in the halls because the teachers are just watching me, I hate class because they look directly at me and they look too worried. My life is not that bad. I just wish they would pay attention to the child who needs it. I hope they do not think I need to be ‘saved’ or whatever. I apologize since this was mostly a rant.</p>
<p>But what could their issue be? And how can I stop being treated like this?</p>
