I'm tired of these teachers thinking my silence is a sin. They stare at me, assuming themselves to be hero who pulls out that nerdy kid and makes him feel loved. They're wrong. I don't want their pity, nor their stupid advice which never works. They assume all my hardships to be petty and tell me I should ignore them. They look more at my scars than my face when talking to me, then they gossip about it to all the other teachers. I'm done pretending to be social. I'll cut up my forearms till they resemble a murder scene, and I'll show them. I'll show them the real me they're so desperate to know. Only then will they shut up, their pitiful stares replaced with horror. I'll show them exactly why I barely submit assignments on time, why my grades suck despite my conceptual understanding, why I am unable to study, why I zone out.

Please dont do that, its only gonna make things worse
I understand what your going through but try to stand your ground to them, just tell them clearly that you dont want to be treated this way,
They should understand as teachers.
Try to get your mind off of everything, just do what you enjoy
