"The school system is fine!"

This is something that has been bothering me for a very long time now. 

The school system is messed up. 

I'm not talking about common-core or whatever. 

I mean what it does mentally to students. 

Have you ever looked up on google 'why does school make me...'? 

No? 

Here's some screenshots of the results.


Tell me this isn't wrong. 

Just looking at it makes me choke and start tearing up. 

This should not be what comes up first, school should not make you feel this bad. 

I'd love to say this only happens to anti-social students with bad grades, but it really doesn't. 

In elementary school, for a long time in the final year, I would have meltdowns as a daily thing, and then I got back a writing assessment and got a terrible grade on it. When I came home I was shaking, and I cried and threw up so much that night, I skipped dinner, not wanting it to come back up. Thinking about it makes me choke up. I even remember using a lighter and burning my wrist slightly before slashing deep into my thigh with a knife
(still have the scars for proof). I had good grades and great friends then so this doesn't apply to kids with bad grades.(Oh god, now I'm dry retching.)

I remember around Thanksgiving break, on Saturday I felt a weight lifted that I didn't even know was there. On the next Sunday before school, I literally cried for an hour before throwing up until there was nothing in me anymore and I began drying retching in front of the toilet. A similar thing happened recently during on the last Sunday of winter break. Not to mention I had trouble sleeping because I kept having nightmares about school during both breaks. Now I'm dreading spring break because of it and I'm not even sure why this keeps happening-my grades have been great. 

Maybe you think I'm just a wimp who's got terrible anxiety and is extremely squeamish.(I'm not on medication, however I had to visit a consoler for a long time.) 

However, I do hope I have convinced a large lot of you that the school system's not right.
