AKA High school. I haven't been there in like 17 years.
Today I was having a nightmare where I was trying to do an exam but only able to write slowly. A teacher came over and looked at my paper and said that there was no such thing as the south of France, only the centre, and I should know what region in the centre the Vikings came from. If I didn't pass these exams I'd never be allowed to leave.
I think I've been permanently traumatised by that bullshit.

I have dreams that I'm still in high school. Still playing football. Then I wake up and realize "I'm free!" and life is great.

I always have dreams that I was signed up for another class or something that I just totally forgot about and then end up failing. Or I go into take a test and the questions are totally incomprehensible and I panic

Same here, OP. It's fucked, isn't it? I wonder if I can sue for psychological damages.

High school caused serious damage to my life. Part of the reason why I hate statism so much.

Well, yeah, but even without that aspect it was still pretty fucking bad. Having years of your life robbed from you and forced to do pointless bullshit.

True. Luckily I got out in 2 years instead of 4

Middle school was far worse for me than high school
Thankfully, by high school I had figured out that complete and total silence both scares the shit out of everyone and gives your words meaning on the rare occasion that you do speak
