So today i had 10 ½hours of school/work. Legal amount is 8 hours. I barely had any breaks there. And for the exhaustion and strain my body went through during that time, I'm paid back so i don't have to participate in the like idk what's it's called. The school day that's held at home thingh. And i can just have kt as a holiday. Bu thr thing is, I'll probably end up doing the stuff others will be forced anyway, so I don't benefit at all. Like, none. And the teacher kept me there 2½ hours illegal overtime anyway. So, I'm kinda going crazy.

Any suggestions on how to address this topic? Or how to get my body to cool down? Like some super, once a month self care suggestions or similar. I do kitchen stuff so neck strain is relatively normal

I'm not in US, hence explaining max amount
I'm in the Europe, lovely place, which loves students
So, that's why I'm very bothered by it

There was an event after 2 pm snd lasted till 6.30 pm. I was home at like idk 7.30 pm.
So it was 2.3 hours of extra, illegal labour

#

I had like normal studying from 8 am till 2 pm. And then immediately, I had to switch my clothes and get into the kitchen and be there from 2 pm till 6.30 pm.

Now technically it was my own choice to go there, except it wasn't and i did try to get out of it and deny it etc

Mhm. Unfortunately I can’t really give much of an input as we have things like that here all the time (mandatory school events). Are those allowed there?

I mean, ofc we have mandatory stuff. But that was something you could choose to end up in
And ofc, yes, that means it's kinda my fault, but hear me out
I'm somewhat anxious being. And people pleaser type. Though I've kinda grown out of it, i got asked about it in the morning. And i was tired af, therefore, my brain activity was low. And i kinda resorted into the usual stuff.

Teacher: theres an event coming. looks at me, because I've been in several events willingly*
Me: staring at some spot because i didn't want to make much eye contact*
Teach: whatcha say?
Me: uh...i gotta check with my ride
Teach: school can handle it.
Me mentally: fuck fuck fuck fuck.
My friend: i come if you come
Me mentally: NO, DON'T DO THIS TO ME
(The teacher isn't one to back down when someone has signed up for stuff, unless given a good medical or other serious reason to do so)

Basically, i tried denying, but well. Sucks to be me.

I did end ip turning in late next day, about idk 20 mins. The teacher asked me did i only come to school st that time. I simply nodded, i was dead tired. No braincells in my mind. Stiln kinda low, despite sleeping for 13 hours
