I'm "special"

**Valigarmander** · 02-21-2007, 06:59 PM

Well, aside from my clinical depression, anxieties, piss-poor social skills (as you all are aware of), low self-esteem, and not much hope for my life, today I find out something new. As it turns out, I'm eligible for special ed. That's right, I'm special! Using terms like that and "mentally disturbed" didn't really get to me, mind you, it's just the fact that I'm no longer normal that really put me down. Hell, I never was normal. But now, everybody gets to know that! I've been put into special classes. Thank you so much! I'm special!

isn't that a fine thing. not.

Is it a remedial class, or is it actually like special ed, where you get a teacher that only comes for you?

A little anecdote: I've heard stories about the gifted program at my school, back during it's inception. Basically, they were kids who were bright but, bored by classes, decided to do all sorts of crazy crap. There were two reasons for making the gifted program: to give gifted kids a leg up, and to keep an eye on them.

They say I'm smart, just not applying myself. I'm not as depressed over it as I was earlier... It's not that big a deal.

I'm not in 'special ed' because I've taken the move of having never been properly psychologically evaluated. I know I'm bipolar, but from what I've seen, psychiatrists are overpaid and might as well use tarot cards.
I've abandoned normality anyway. Everyone knows I'm not 'normal.' It's pretty stupid to care.

Basically, the special ed. I've seen strives to get students around doing any of their work and make them look smarter than they actually are. Usually, special ed. kids do better than me in their assignments because they aren't even graded the same way.
