#i realize this just describes the ronan lynch experience. knew there was a reason i had this url

the setup of high school in the US has many documented serious health effects on teenagers (like the whole sleep issue thing) BUT i think most people i know would not describe their experience as, uh.... literal sustained torture. and my specific high school actually was pretty okay! i remember having very good experiences with certain teachers & i was happy with the different classes that were offered. 

unfortunately i also had rapid cycling psychotic bipolar disorder. plus unmedicated ADHD

trying to sit still in a classroom and pay attention to a lecture while you’re so manic and sleep-deprived that you’re literally hallucinating scrawls of moving writing over your desk & hearing an out-of-tune radio that’s louder than your teacher’s voice..... Well. this is Perhaps. NOT conducive to learning
